@RevIsaacWirtz Question on 2.4 "speaking with the mothers in the congregation"

Does that actually work, does anyone actually do that? My instinct says they're going to just look at you like you just asked for $10,000, but I'm willing to be convinced by anecdotes.

The heart of the wise makes his speech judicious
and adds persuasiveness to his lips.
Gracious words are like a honeycomb,
sweetness to the soul and health to the body.

A blessed Justinian Day to all my fellow Justinian I fans.

"Government has a specific Biblical purpose, being ordained by God to regulate relations among men in a fallen world. The functions which Scripture mandates government to perform are few: preserving order, protecting life and property, and maintaining justice and righteousness."

The city is warming up again after the snow. Fall is staying around a few more weeks.

To say "trust not in princes" is not to say that princes have nothing to do with Christianity. It is to say that the hope that the church has is not premised on whether the princes have acknowledged that Psalm 2 is true.

@Ad_Crucem I don't have any ideas but I'm just hoping I can make it down there before you hold it, lol.

@EstherOfReilly "the distinction between the Law and the Gospel is a special brilliant light, which serves to the end that God’s Word may be rightly divided, and the Scriptures of the holy prophets and apostles may be properly explained and understood"

But getting rid of "should" ain't that.

@EstherOfReilly Personally, I'm all for telling your kids that Saint Nicholas is a real person. It's important that they understand why denying the deity of Christ is such a big deal and got him angry enough to punch someone.

@EstherOfReilly I think the Overton window never really expands, it just slides around to a new face.

[Jonathan Clay @Surosly]

@EstherOfReilly A short time ago I found a debate between Doug Wilson and Andrew Sullivan about this from way back in 2013. That was fascinating. A mere 8 years ago this was a cultural battlefield and now it's hardly even a talking point.

@EstherOfReilly Are the Anglicans with the baptists on the whole "baptism is just a public confession of faith" thing, or is this a point where you break from the Anglicans? If so, I'm curious why.

[Jonathan Clay @Surosly]

@paolini I see. I met her at a writers conference last summer, been wondering how you guys knew each other since. She's a great person.

[Jonathan Clay @Surosly]

@paolini I saw in the Acknowledgements of Eragon that Kathy Tyers helped w/ the first three chapters. Did you know her before you wrote it?

@SpaceEngineersG @marek_rosa Is this the long awaited New Netcode, or just in preparation for it?

@SarahtheSith Unfortunately, yes: Late at night when you could be sleeping.
