Protestants often have the intuitive tendency to identify the history of the Church by its theological errors. We are prone to see first and foremost the problems, dangers, and unfaithfulness and completely miss out the benefits, the ...more

“The creators of blue oceans, surprisingly, didn’t use the competition as their benchmark.17 Instead, they followed a different strategic logic that we call value innovation. Value innovation is the cornerstone of blue ocean strategy. We call it value innovation because instead of focusing on beating the competition, you focus on making the competition irrelevant by creating a leap in value for buyers and your company, thereby opening up new and uncontested market space.”
W. Chan Kim, Blue Ocean Strategy, Expanded Edition: How to Create Uncontested Market Space and Make the Competition Irrelevant

Mark L. Ward Jr.
“So back to a question I raised in the introduction: What Bible translation will I give my own kids? And the answer is: I won’t give them a single translation. I’ll train them, Lord willing, to appreciate multiple translations. Instead of expressing suspicion toward translations from other tribes, I will express curiosity and interest and gratitude. I’ll teach my progeny that there’s a good reason for the little differences between Bible translations.”
Mark L. Ward Jr., Authorized: The Use and Misuse of the King James Bible

Niccolò Machiavelli
“It may be answered that one should wish to be both, but, because it is difficult to unite them in one person, it is much safer to be feared than loved, when, of the two, either must be dispensed with.”
Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince

Mark L. Ward Jr.
“Bible translations succeed or fail based on Christian trust, because only a vanishingly small percentage of Bible readers can, and even fewer do, go through the laborious process of checking their English translations against the Greek and Hebrew. The vast majority of Bible readers simply take—they have to take—the word of others that the translations in their laps are faithful. When scholarly Christians and ministry-leading Christians go to battle over Bible translations, in dog fights far above the it’s-all-Greek-to-me heads of people in the pew, some of the flak falls on the flock. The sheep today have many resources—like this book—and can do some good homework, but if they can’t read the original languages of Scripture they must still take sides based largely on whom they trust.”
Mark L. Ward Jr., Authorized: The Use and Misuse of the King James Bible

Niccolò Machiavelli
“Among the wonderful deeds of Hannibal this one is enumerated: that having led an enormous army, composed of many various races of men, to fight in foreign lands, no dissensions arose either among them or against the prince, whether in his bad or in his good fortune. This arose from nothing else than his inhuman cruelty, which, with his boundless valour, made him revered and terrible in the sight of his soldiers, but without that cruelty, his other virtues were not sufficient to produce this effect.”
Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince
