@KSPrior The things we do out of love!

Just because Jesus is on the page doesn’t make preaching the Gospels any easier; in fact, one could argue it is actually harder.

The Gospels & Acts Online Course helps you think carefully about narrative, context, and structure so you can teach these books with greater clarity and confidence.

On June 20, 1782, the Bald Eagle became our national symbol. Old Abe, the Civil War mascot from Wisconsin, inspired the iconic 101st Airborne insignia.

Thomas Sowell: “The problem isn’t that Johnny can’t read. The problem is that Johnny doesn’t know what thinking is; he confuses it with feeling.”

[Milton Friedman Quotes @MiltonFriedmanW]

“Government should be a referee, not an active player.”

In Justin Taylor’s CT feature in January he wrote: “At the age of 80, Piper works full-time from his home office, answering questions about the Bible and the Christian life through the Ask Pastor John podcast (400 million episode plays over the past 13 years) and through his verse-by-verse video series, Look at the Book (over 1,300 videos so far), with a life goal of working through all the Pauline letters.” Life goal accomplished! Pastor John wrapped up all 13 of Paul’s epistles THIS MORNING by wrapping up Romans. The Romans stats alone: 102 weeks, 403 videos. All to cap what he predicted to be a 10-year project wrapped up in 7. A celebration of God’s sustaining grace in years of slow, steady, verse-by-verse labor in the Bible. And a beautiful testament to big goals.

A reminder that the Constitution was not written to restrain the citizens' behavior.

It was written to restrain the government's behavior.

[Milton Friedman Quotes @MiltonFriedmanW]

“The government is too big. It’s too intrusive. It restricts what we can do. It’s becoming our master instead of our servant.”

The final episode of our mini-series on the Covenanters has dropped. Thank you for your patience!

In it, we meet the last great Covenanter martyr: the extraordinary servant of Christ, James Renwick.

Satan is the Accuser. His work is to turn your eyes in on yourself and despair.
The Spirit is the Comforter. His work is to turn your eyes to Jesus, the rest for our souls.

Believer in Christ:
You cannot get God to unlove you because you didn’t get him to love you in the first place.

Ephesians 2:8
“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.”

@BeschlossDC I was a teen and had a job to work. Really missed the tall ships broadcast at the time.
