With TV shows now investing in love triangles with siblings, is Netflix’s I Will Find You joining the trend by having a character date his sister-in-law? Harlan Coben‘s novel was adapted as a miniseries where David (Sam Worthington) gets help from his former-sister-in-law Rachel (Britt Lower) when searching for his son. Despite Rachel seemingly rekindling her romance with ex Hayden (Milo Ventimiglia), the show ended with both her and David single. The final scene showed Rachel reaching out to hold David’s hand — but does that mean they will get together? “That is meant to indicate what I truly wanted…

Christian women should not shout in the street. How does a Canaanite woman, dwelling in Gentile territory, have all this inside knowledge of the promise of God to Israel? How can a Canaanite woman living in Sidon know the Hebrew scriptures? The Jews themselves were not sure. Matt 12:22-23 22 Then one was brought to Him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw. 23 And all the multitudes were amazed and said, “Could this be the Son of David?” “Could this be the Son of David?”…

Northern Nigeria is angry. This anger is not strictly borne from the unremitting, horrific spillage of blood on its soil. Rather, Northern Nigeria is angry because it has been rightly called by the name it gave itself. Recently, the progeny of Shehu Usman dan Fodio – the 19th-century Islamic scholar and founder of the Sokoto Caliphate – have been losing their crème de la crème. Northern Nigerians are dying in droves, mostly at the hands of their own sons who have made the thick forests their comfortable abode. The most poignant recent tragedy is that of General Rabe Abubakar. He…
