A few months ago, on a Wednesday, a storm blew down a tree in my yard and broke my cable television and internet line. My wife called the company and they promised to be there the next day to fix it. The next day it wasn’t fixed so I called the company myself. They said they [...] I know just enough Latin (very little) to love the language. I’ve never been forced to take a Latin class, so that probably explains my affinity. The title of this article is taken from Martin Luther’s description of the justified sinner. R. C. Sproul wrote an excellent explanation for the phrase in his book, The [...] The word ‘but’ changes whatever comes right before it.
