The Bible reveals a God who loves and liberates the enslaved, oppressed, and poor.

[Raymond Chang @tweetraychang]

90% of OT & 50% of NT was cut from the slave Bible. Some parts were too difficult to reconcile with slavery, so they removed them. Today, we have the whole Bible, but it’s often preached in a manner that would’ve conserved slavery and racial injustice.

Goodness. What a prophetic quote from 44 years ago.

There’s a God that taught a tiny bird how to sew.

A church switched from giving branded mugs to first-time visitors to donating meals to a local rescue mission in their name.

Their connect card completion rate went from roughly 15% to almost 95% (@refugechurchlc on IG).

The gift changed from "here's our logo" to "we did something meaningful on your behalf." Turns out their community responded to generosity, rather than merchandise.

Just a reminder that complete Bibles are extremely rare for much of Christian history because, as you can see from this pictures of the 7th c. Codex Amiatinus, they were massive. This one happens to be the oldest surviving complete copy of Jerome’s Latin Vulgate.

We live in an incredible time where you can see many of the Dead Sea Scrolls in digital format.

These manuscripts were found in 1940s in the region of Khirbet Qumran on the western shore of the Dead Sea and date from the 3rd century to the 1st century.

@NancyRPearcey I love the book. I recommended your book to my congregation last week while preaching on Genesis 2.

The Psalms are the antidote to disordered feeling and disordered thinking:

Let the man who would hear God speak read Holy Scripture.

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

Two things:

1. There are certain answers we’re never going to get from God in this lifetime. Things we are never going to be able to make sense of or understand.

2. YET, walking closely with God means, when questions rage and roar in our chests, we keep asking them. We bring them out in the light. Do not imagine that wrestling with God can’t be a form of intimacy. It has us face-to-face with the one we hold to be sovereign over all things.

We will never trust anyone we can’t question. Though we may well walk away from the inquiry with no answers, we do not walk away alone. We walk with the one who will walk us all the way home where all answers await and all doubts abate.

Fun Facts about the Psalms:

1. Most quoted OT book in the NT

2. Ps. 110 is the most quoted OT chapter in the NT (about 33x)

3. All but 22 of the 150 psalms are quoted or alluded to in the NT (thus 85% of psalms found their way into NT).

4. The Gospels comment on all the major events in Christ's life via psalms
