The Puritans were spiritual giants with wisdom for everyday life. Who knew? JD. Reader of everything.

We care so much about our bodies, obsessing over clean eating prioritizing exercise.
Yet we're careless about what we feed our minds — as though the mind and body were separate.
Remember: mind, body, and soul form one whole person before God.
What's feeding our minds today?

Took almost half a year but finally finished studying. Now going through the lectures. Worth the climb!

@x_Aurelion I didn’t do philosophy in uni so I learned a lot. One was my need for definitions (Platonist) when thinkers like Wittgenstein define through families or patterns. Two things that manifest differently might have the same name (my ex: ADHD)

@JonahDispatch I seriously thought being struck down by a punishment this entire nation knows meant another kind of “slush” 🤣

@isaacmoses2005 Frame did, in the introduction, delimit his book to western thought though there was a brief mention of Buddhism (i.e. view of eternity). If by European, you mix the English and continental then yes, major impact on the world, and there are Americans too ;)

@rybizz10 It’s massive overview of history of western thought thru the reformed biblical worldview to see and name the ideas permeating society. A lot of things we consider universal or neutral are not. It can get dense but worth the time and effort!

@BerithPress Gluttony, the sin we may not always admit but can never hide !

[Observant sojourner @ObservantSojo]

@witglass Not yet but I have some lined up. I was interested in The Escondido Theology. Do you have a suggestion which would be good ?

looks like we have the topic for the next Paleo-Protestant pudcast. @ivmiles thinks PCA statement is lib

“The committee has perhaps, swallowed unthinkingly too many of the euphemisms liberal jurisprudence offered in the last century on...church and state" https://t.co/fsOQFJdWbG

@Josiah_B_Bates I bought the Greek NT (Crossway). Too ambitious!

[Dr. John Frame @DrJohnFrame]

If you look at the qualifications of elders in 1 Timothy and Titus, you’ll see that Paul emphasizes qualities of character. It’s important to be able to preach and teach, but it’s even more important to be an example of Christlikeness that others can imitate.

“It is evident that man never attains to a true self-knowledge until he have previously contemplated the face of God, and come down after such contemplation to look into himself.” - Calvin

We can’t see what we are without first seeing who He is. The contrast does the work.

From notion to affection.

We've been told our flaws make us unique. Scripture says the opposite--our flaws are damage, not design. The Potter restores us to who we were always meant to be.
