Corrie Ten Boom Flea Story From Ravensbrück
- James White recounts visiting Corrie Ten Boom's watch shop and reading The Hiding Place, describing her wartime Bible studies and Betsy giving thanks for fleas.
- He uses the flea story to illustrate Christian gratitude under persecution and how God turned hardship into ministry opportunity.
Warning About Neo-Nazi Influence In Reformed Spaces
- White highlights neo-Nazi infiltration of some self-described Reformed circles, calling out Michael Spangler's public attack on Corrie Ten Boom.
- He contrasts Ten Boom's rescue of Jews with Spangler's claim that her book "celebrates shielding Christ's enemies," exposing extremist reinterpretation.
Do Scholarship Under The Lordship Of Christ
- Do scholarship under the Lordship of Christ by starting with Jesus' view of Scripture rather than secular presuppositions.
- White says this orients apologetics, original-language work, and church service, not personal prestige.
