To learn about the college drop out behind FIGMA, Dylan Field and Mark Zuckerberg both had the backing of entrepreneur Peter Thiel, with Field partnering with his Brown University TA, Evan Wallace, started Figma as web apps. Now this company went IPO last week from $33 to $120. Now it's around $70. Some called Dylan the most humble billionaire.

Mysterious "missionaries" using secret audio devices to evangelize Brazil’s isolated peoples. Reported by BBC. Broadcasting biblical messages (Bible & American Baptist pastor's sermons, etc.) in Spanish and Portuguese, a device found in Korubo village in Brazil.
"The device that reached the hands of the Korubo is called Messenger and is distributed by the Baptist organisation In Touch Ministries, based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is now a curiosity in the possession of the Korubo community matriarch, Mayá."

"Not found else where", Stephen Tong's definition for Faith: 信是理性歸回真理 is the return of the created reasoning to the revealed truth:
＃竭力追求完全，為何不能沒有理性❓信仰如何是理性歸回真理❓靈恩派以什麼取代理性❓（希伯來書要理問答 第785問）
Rational vs. Rationalist: Rationalists replace God with reasoning power. Our reasoning power is created, limited, polluted. Only humans are created with reason, animals are not. So we must use reason.
＃為何基督徒應當是理性的，但絕不是理性主義者❓（希伯來書要理問答 第784問）
After this, I will not be posting these Hebrews series of Stephen Tong here (Weekly Journal entries) but in the relevant entries such as the Bible Study entry on Hebrews.

The Holy Roman Empire was neither "holy" nor "Roman" nor truly an "Empire" as it began with Charlemagne's (Charles the Great) coronation (800AD), essentially a Frankish-Germanic kingdom. Reformed education, supported monasteries, enforced Christian law, modeled himself after Israelite kings, used Carolingian script.
