[Tom Holland @holland_tom]

"For there's nothing as powerful or as great
As when a husband & wife, united by oneness of mind in their thinking,
Keep their home together—a great bane to their enemies,
A blessing to their friends, & their renown is on everyone's lips.”

Odysseus' great praise of marriage.

[Nick Roark @NickRoark]

To make an apt answer is a joy to a man, and a word in season, how good it is!

-Proverbs 15:23

[John Piper @JohnPiper]

“Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things;
and give me life in your ways.” Psalm 119:37

That is, change my desires so that I don’t find compelling pleasure in worthless things.

[Peter Gurry @pjgurry]

“The creeds are not a test that churchgoers must pass: they are a resource that can feed enquiring faith.”

now He thanked God (Luke 22:19),

now He sang (Matt 26:30)."

-John Bunyan, Works (Carlisle, PA: @banneroftruth, 1692/1991), 2: 17.

Dr. Alan Millard discovered the Epic of Atrahasis written in 1635 BC. It is one of three Babylonian flood stories which parallel Genesis in the creation of mankind and the flood. He states it is likely that Sumerian and Genesis accounts stem from a common ancient account.

THREAD: How Judges & Ruth fit together

Of course, Ruth is set in the time of Judges.

It begins, ‘In the days when the judges judged...’

But the connections go deeper...

The hand of the diligent will rule,
while the lazy will be put to forced labor.
Anxiety weighs down the human heart,
but a good word cheers it up (Prov 12:24-25).

Diligence without anxiety.
