Force Multiplication
In recent days, as I read various material, I saw for the first time that I remember, the use of the terminology, “force multiplier.” I really don’t think I heard it before and on the same day I saw it twice.

Should True Churches Ascribe Perfection to the Apographa of Scripture?
Mark Ward and Ruckmanism A friend of mine alerted me to a reference of me in a Mark Ward production. It came under a click-bait title: “10 Ways to Avoid Ruckmanism.” I would contend I’m further away from Ruckmanism than Mark Ward himself, and I’ll explain that.
