ETS et al. meeting online this year is a bummer in some ways, but good for folks like me who can attend now.
I published a new issue of Covenant Chronicle today. Updates about the church. Lots to praise God for. This marks the re-emergence of our print church newsletter that ran out of steam a while back. Though not as pretty, I pray that this e-version will be more sustainable.
I want to live someday “in that world where such absurd and inhuman distinctions are unknown", just like Theodore Sedgwick Wright.
Dr. Steve Baugh is a role model for me in so many ways. #deepwork is one of them, which comes out some in his conversation with @rscottclark about 37 years of teaching the Greek NT.
To better understand what it means to be “not of this world”, read What Did Jesus Mean by “The World”? by @Nick_Batzig.
Took the kids up to Mt. Hopkins today. We stopped just up the road from from the Smithsonian Whipple Observatory. Down the hill, this momma and calf were on the open range.
To sum up everything in a word: The cross of Christ finally trumps in believers’ hearts—over the devil, the flesh, sin, and the wicked—when their eyes are turned to the power of the resurrection.
I’m going to try syndicating my posts to Twitter for a while.
Jump over to whimsical.club. With so many overly-serious websites these days, it’s fun to explore some “websites that spark joy.” HT: @chrisaldrich
I’ve tried to follow the directions but can’t figure out how to get canonical urls automatically added to tweets that have been cross-posted from micro.blog. @help any suggestions?
I’m designing a course on Christian maturity and discovered the Workload Estimator 2.0. If you are a teacher, bookmark this. Students might find it helpful too for planning their schedules.
Over the next two of days, I’m attending Acton University Online. There are so many interesting sessions that choosing my schedule was tough. I’m excited for tomorrow.
Gospel of John, 17v3:
And this is eternal life, that they know you, the ony true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
Epistle to Diognetus, 12v4:
For neither is there life without knowledge nor sound knowledge without true life.
Last’s night’s sermon was on these words from Genesis 17:1: “walk before me and be blameless.” Listen to hear what that looks like, why we should, and how such a wonderful thing is even possible.
This morning I preached John 16:25-33. In this passage, Jesus tells us three truths that steady our hearts and give us peace.
