Adoni-Bezek’s calm admission that "as I have done, so God has repaid me" (Judges 1:7) reveals a grim understanding of the inevitable symmetry between our actions and our end.

March 17th was the day those believers were discovered.

A miracle occurred 161 years ago in Nagasaki, involving people who had kept their faith hidden for 250 long years.

161 years ago today, on March 17, 1865, hidden Christians from Urakami Village in Nagasaki visited Oura Church and revealed their identities to Father Petitjean. The believers confessed to the priest their faith, which they had secretly maintained for approximately 250 years, defying the Shogun's ban on Christianity.
The priest witnessed a miracle in Nagasaki: believers, thought to be extinct in Japan, had long been passing down their faith from parent to child in secret.

Luke 8

This version of the story of the demonic man and the swine makes it more explicit that Jesus was welcomed the second time he went into that region, due to the testimony of the ex-demonic man. In Mark, it was there, but in different positions in the narrative, while Luke places them next to each other.

We have here the parable of the lamp, which is not explained. Then we get verse 18: "Therefore take heed how you hear. For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken from him."
This I admit I find somewhat disturbing, for it seems unfair; why should those who lack, lack even more? But *what is it* that they lack? Given that the verse starts with "take heed how you hear" I am thinking that "it" is faith. That makes more sense, given the context.
