I watched Denzel Washington’s movie The Book of Eli in the wee hours of New Year’s Day. Washington’s character was protecting the last known King James Bible in a post nuclear war world. We forget how important and useful the Bible’s messages and lessons are when (to be frank) we are busying sinning. Yesterday at [...]
