Contractual Liability Exclusion Bars Coverage Where Lawsuit Against Insured Arises Out of a Contractual Obligation | JD Supra
The Appellate Court of Maryland, applying Maryland law, has held that an insurer had no duty to defend or indemnify an insured under a professional liability policy containing a contractual liability exclusion for a lawsuit alleging breach of contract, despite the fact that the allegations against the insured and his role with regard to the contract at issue were allegedly erroneous.

The Word: All is well

She loved God, and therefore loved the “man of God.” Observing that Elisha often passed her abode on his Divine errands, she prepared a chamber for his special use. So let us provide in our hearts an abode for Christ. He is always passing. He is willing to stay with us. He knocks and asks us to receive Him.
The Word: Putting aside anxiety
“Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Luke 12:32 In the parable of the rich fool, Jesus warned the rich against eagerness in accumulating wealth. He then warned the poor against anxiety about securing the necessaries of life. Covetousness is of the mind, not of the condition. The poor may be as eager for pence as the rich for pounds. There is anxiety of the cottage, as well as of the counting-house.

How does culture affect the way we understand Scripture?
How does culture affect the way we understand Scripture? Christopher Hall North American evangelicals read the Bible—and the world—through Western eyes. Indeed, all human beings come to the Bible with cultural habits, deeply ingrained patterns of interpreting the world that inevitably shape—and sometimes warp—our interpretation and understanding of Scripture.

Trickles or torrents, sheer plunges or rocky chutes, mountain cataracts or desert gushers, waterfalls draw us into their multi-sensory spectacle. We delight in the sight and sound of their tumbling waters, inhale their freshness, even feel their tingling spray on our faces. They can soothe us and, some say, improve our mood by bathing us in negative ions. For naturalist John Muir, their song helped him "get as near the heart of the world" as he could. What makes a waterfall noteworthy?
