κηρυσσων την βασιλειαν του θεου και διδασκων τα περι του κυριου ιησου χριστου μετα πασης παρρησιας ακωλυτως. The underlying meaning of this blog is this: the essential unity of Christians worldwide regardless of race, nationality, or religious denomination. There are real disagreements among us but there is a small remnant in every authentically Christian gathering. The Holy Spirit is leading His remnant into deeper understandings of the "meat" of the Gospel and not just the "milk."

Crucifix vs Cross
When Protestants wear the Cross as jewelry or use it as a symbol in their churches, it is almost exclusively an empty cross. When Roman Catholics present the Cross, it is almost exclusively as the Crucifix, with Jesus nailed upon it. Both groups revere the Cross, but they view it differently. Protestants favor the empty Cross because of their strong theological emphasis on the Resurrection, while Roman Catholics stress Jesus' death as a substitutionary sacrificial atonement.
