@pj_schreiner Lord willing, I’m picking back up in Matthew in the spring, where I left off this year! France and Allison have been my companions thus far, but this would be a great addition.
New breakthroughs date Dead Sea Scroll portions of Daniel “to the time of the author” in the second century BC, according to one scholar. But why would the Qumran community have a first edition copy of supposedly Hasmonean propaganda? Unless Daniel is a lot older than admitted 👀
@bw_phillips@DennyBurk@megbasham Probably so. Its always a matter of context. In my context, I personally know a number of people asking me about the eclipse’s connection to the rapture. I’ve seen far fewer people making fun of those people—until I got back on Twitter. Certainly not just “exvangelical smear” tho
@DennyBurk@megbasham No leaders at all. I may have misunderstood the original post. My point was that rapture talk and weird speculation is pretty heavy among average folks who would self-describe as evangelical, at least in my rural town. Certainly not the case everywhere.
@DennyBurk@megbasham Sadly, it’s not. I pastor a small Baptist church in Southern Indiana. It’s been the most discussed thing for weeks now in these parts. Dozens of posts all over Facebook connecting the rapture and the eclipse.
The “we shouldn’t have to work” hot take from the left is baffling. I guess we should just have fun and expect money to appear in our mailbox?
“Six days you shall labor” (Ex. 20:9). A workweek is good, biblical, and necessary. There is no well-ordered society without it.
“Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.”

Sadly, here’s where we are now. Mobs of any kind, whether on the Capitol steps or in front of a Supreme Court Justice’s house, are incompatible with deliberative democracy and the rule of law.
People still say “flat-screen TV” like that’s something special. That’s literally the only kind of TV people have been buying since the Jurassic Period. It’s just a TV bro.
went and translated that zelensky selfie video from the streets of kyiv, just to know what he was actually saying in response to the russian reports that he had fled -- so here it is for the rest of you, plus this music naturally felt right. enjoy.
Had pretty terrible service at a restaurant this evening. Slow and cold.
Our server eventually shared that his mom had just called to tell him she’d been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s. I asked him if I could pray for him. He tearfully agreed.
People need grace, folks.
