The Unconditional Love of God
We asked the question – where in the Bible would you take someone to demonstrate the unconditional love of God. I think the conclusion was just about anywhere.

Tyndale burned for translating the Bible
On October 6, 1536, William Tyndale was strangled and burned at the stake for translating the Scriptures into English for the common man. He was accused of heresy and given an opportunity to recant, but used his last words to pray with a loud voice, “Lord, open the King of England’s eyes!”
Within four years of his death, several English translations of the Bible were published in England at the King’s request, all based on Tyndale’s work.

In short, no. “One hundred and forty years later, the mystery’s still unsolved,”

NORTH KOREA
North Korea often makes headlines these days for its human rights abuses, nuclear proliferation, and persecution of Christians. The news tends to portray the North as an ‘Axis of Evil’, but there is much more to this country and the divided Korean peninsula. The church is alive and well in North Korea, but hidden, impoverished, and persecuted. The prayer for many years has been for reunification of the two Koreas. What would this look like, and what would it mean for the Korean church, and the global church?
