We can face the future with confidence because of the irreversible victory of Jesus Christ and the continuing life-transforming reality of Pentecost, which confirms this victory in the hearts of all who believe. ~ Donald Bloesch

@RevZekveld @mathewablock Every last bit of it! I almost threw my lot in with LCC 11 years ago.

The three sources of evil - the flesh, the world, and the devil - are relatively uniform in their effects, since they all follow the metaphysical paradigm of evil as absence and corruption. They lead to decline, loss, decay, destruction, darkness, and damage. ~ @DrAustinFreeman

The description of "the Word" as coming like "gentle rain on pasture" [Deut. 32:2] recalls Ps. 72:6, where Yahweh's anointed, and Hos. 6:3, where Yahweh's self are described in the same terms. There is no sharp distinction between the word and the self: Yahweh's word is a mode of Yahweh's presence. ~ Ian Cairns

@XianMind Today I read a chapter of Mark Boda's book on the heartbeat of Old Testament Theology in one sitting without distractions, and it was wonderful.

The chapter was good; the feeling was wonderful.

My four-year-old, while playing pirates:

“We’re just gonna have to live this life with a broken ship.”

And I just nodded in solidarity because: true.
