Unroll the Scroll (Scholar’s Compass)

June 19, 2016 by Clint Bryan No Comments

Reading Daniel 1 Reflection In an evangelical world in which “secular” knowledge is sometimes not valued, it’s important to remember that the Bible itself, at least in a couple of instances, supports the learning and use of what’s sometimes termed “secular” knowledge.
