@brandondcrowe @LexhamPress Glad to see this, brother!

[Wilhelmus Divinicus IIII @DevenneyWilliam]

@seamuscmacaoidh So as my internship comes to a close today, a brother gifted me a Lagavulin 16. I just had a taste. It is good, definitely better than most of my others. But the Lagavulin 8 is just a phenomenal drink. It’s amazing.

@EddyEkofo Exactly as it reads: On the first day, God created the heavens, the earth, and light.

@_matthewpearson Citizen owns Miyota, and therefore has some great automatic choices of their own, including this Signature Series Grand Classic.

[Wilhelmus Divinicus IIII @DevenneyWilliam]

@_matthewpearson Get something old(er). This is a 1963 Seikomatic. If you are looking for an automatic movement.
If you want a Solar or Quartz, get a Citizen, there are some beautiful dials and models.

@OrthodoxPC Is that CVD in red pants? I need to know for historiographical purposes of precision.

[Wilhelmus Divinicus IIII @DevenneyWilliam]

What’s on your wrist today?

[Wilhelmus Divinicus IIII @DevenneyWilliam]

@seamuscmacaoidh Mine has become Lagavulin 8! Perfect balance of peat.

The name of the Christ is not mocked. It shall not be held in derision forever. The Lord sits on His throne, His honor is ever established.

@TaylorAlanEaton As often as we join together… well, actually just once a Lords’s Day. 😉

Flashy Conferences or Old-Time Revivals?

Reformed folks love their conferences. We book speakers, charge admission, and hype them for months. The speakers preach on set topics—no problem there—except we charge people to attend.

Yet those same Reformed folks scoff at old-time revival meetings that lasted a week, were prayed for in advance, and were completely free. Those meetings centered on prayer, preaching, repentance, and the Spirit moving among ordinary people—without branding, merch tables, or curated platforms.

Maybe it’s time to ask: which model is more biblical?

Forget the word “revival” for a moment—I agree it should only describe God’s sovereign work, not something we manufacture, contrary to Finney. But beyond that, perhaps today’s conferences should take a page from those old revivals and be less like “Luxury Gospel Galas” or high-priced "holy huddles."

What would that look like specifically? Free evening sermons paired with extended times of prayer and counsel afterward; prayer meetings every morning to seek God’s unction; teaching sessions at noon over lunch, followed by neighborhood outreach and more prayer.

The aim would be to revive the saints and to save the lost. It’d be a structure centered on God’s presence and the community, not on spectacle, celebrities, or sales. And to cut cost and flare—you could even do it in a tent in the middle of some field. After all, attendance would be free.

@oblatenate I concur... I am not certain seminary is for the father.
