a Hamilton parody just in time for Christmas… Jesus Christ of Nazareth 🙂✨
“The Spirit did not lead Jesus above natural life with its exposure to dangers, trials, temptation, and suffering, but deeper and deeper into it. We may with profit consider this in our own trials and temptations.” From:Rediscovering the Holy Spirit by Michael Horton. 📚
A good definition of biblicism + resource page from @heidelblog.net.
So thankful for the way @opchomemissions supported Covenant when we were a church plant. Watch to hear from two current church planters about ministry during COVID-19. Watch on Vimeo.

The sermon is an important part of worship. Here’s how to make the most of it.
Learn about the @OrthodoxPC work in Mbale, Uganda. See how long-term committments make a difference. Faith and patience: it takes time for seeds to grow. Watch on Vimeo.
Tomorrow I will finish preaching the Gospel of John and will be sad to say goodbye to Frederick Dale Bruner, who, via his 1,200+ pg commentary, has been my main (non-divine) conversation partner on John for the last two years. Huge impact. Thank you, Dr. Bruner.
Finished The Art of Neighboring by @jayrpathak and Dave Runyon. Great into. Deals with common struggles, helps avoid missteps, and is full of good advice you can use today.
When Jesus comes “God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes” (Revelation 21:4), but until then there is heartbreak even on the holidays. My heart goes out those who sat next to empty seats this Thanksgiving.
