While we were on holiday, Lingamish was extremely productive and produced an interesting series of posts (rants may be a better term) on a couple of related subjects.

Nice and short, as demanded by twitter, but full of meaning and significance. We translate the […]
At the heart of God’s missional engagement with humanity is a profound humility and a willingness to suffer rejection and pain. We see this all the way through the Old Testament narrative as God reaches out to his beloved people who repeatedly reject him to follow after other gods. The prophecy of Hosea, married to […]
