"...making peace by the blood of his cross" (Col. 1:20)

God and my soul were friends by this blood.

A reminder for engaging on X:

The works of the flesh are... enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions...

..but the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control

Gal 6:19–23

@pastordlawler Hi, David. It's from his sermon "The Best Friend."

My favorite quote on friendship:

“This world is full of sorrow because it is full of sin. It is a dark place. It is a lonely place. It is a disappointing place. The brightest sunbeam in it is a friend. Friendship halves our troubles and doubles our joys.”

–JC Ryle

Reading a biography of Robert Bruce—not Robert "the" Bruce—Robert the Scottish pastor (1554–1631).

He was long and engaged in private prayers, but...

"He was very brief in prayer when others were present,
but every sentence was like a strong bolt shot up to heaven"

–Macnicol

@mitchellchase Excellent. Thank you.

I also remember that he said he kept his church elders informed of his theological writings. He intentionally made himself theologically accountable to the local church. Such a great example.

Grieved at the passing of one of my favorite professors, Dr. Dan Treier.

I've often remembered one of his encouragements to me:

"I understand that you are interested in pastoral ministry, but publishing good material may still be worth doing as service to the church."

[Drew Hunter @DrewFHunter]

And,

"It’s wonderful to participate a little in the formation of folks like yourselves who are doing the vital work of ministry on the front lines."

[Drew Hunter @DrewFHunter]

@DZRishmawy Yes, same. Wonderful man.

[Drew Hunter @DrewFHunter]

@between2worlds One of my favorite professors. Modeled humility and how the intellectual life can serve the local church.

Yesterday, I posted about asking your pastor to lunch or coffee, and apparently a lot of folks have strong feelings about such things.

I noted that it would be excellent if you'd tell your pastor what you'd like to talk about beforehand - "Pastor, can we get lunch? I'd like to talk about..."

Several (5) more thoughts on this:

What @RevKevDeYoung has done here is truly remarkable. There is barely a word in it I disagree with (I suppose at the very end, his negativity about postmillennialism is one example, but that’s okay - I have every optimism that he’ll come around). =)

But this is the tone and tenor in which these conversations ought to be had, and this approach to the subject should go a long way towards showing: (a) The futility of the CN nomenclature; (b) The incoherent definition of it all; (c) That those who desire to see a Christianized America are not remotely out of step with the liberal order, and are, in fact, PROTECTED BY IT; and (d) That there are good faith and bad faith people in all different aspects of this, and we will have more fruitful dialogue focusing on the good faith folks.

I am so very grateful for Pastor DeYoung’s work here.

I've been studying and preaching Proverbs. It gives wisdom for every sphere of life—including politics and government.

Proverbs is framed as wisdom from a king to his royal sons, preparing them to live and lead well in society

So much wisdom for navigating politics today.
