Another reminder not just to know the ancient stories, but to know them by heart - tell them to others, participate in them actively.

"For Bonhoeffer, Christ crucified, and the cross of the Christian life were not of peripheral importance, but foundational." -Sam Schuldheisz

"The promise is therefore to be understood primarily in the present sense and only secondarily in the future sense. It is not a promise that will only be fulfilled in the future. Rather, it is a speech act that as such enacts reality, constitutes reality, brings it about." –Bayer

“You’re not a neutral chooser. You’re a bound climber. But Christ has come down. Christ has ended your climb. Christ has taken your bound will into his pierced hands. Christ has chosen you before you could choose. Christ has died your death and raised you to his life. You are no longer a slave but a child.”

Strong Words for a Strong Word.

In this episode, we discuss preaching, doing God’s Word to listeners, calling out curses and blessing confessions, using strong words to expose and condemn the devil and the world, and much, much more.

A Very Friendly Debate on the third use of the law is now live! Discussions on this topic can get unnecessarily heated, so it was an honor to host two brilliant theologians—and good friends—Dr. Kolb and Dr. Paulson, as they shared their perspectives with both good humor and deep insight. @1517

Who Made Who? Dr. Kleinig explains how the master of theology, the Holy Spirit, makes one a theologian through contemplative prayer, meditating on Scripture within the communion of saints, and being translated into the kingdom by God’s Word.

@illyrianviper Looking forward to this! Flacius is one of my favorite theologians everyone loves to rag on.

[Banned Books Podcast @BannedBooks1517]

We discuss the infatuation with theological concepts and young theologians' conceit. What is the purpose of theology, its study, teaching, and conversations? How can theology become deadly? What happens when the truth is detached from love?

@Alyse_On_Life @timesnewemma That’s fair. The OP of the trend is ghastly. It’s all about the clicks and views and making “your brand/platform” visible.

@Alyse_On_Life @timesnewemma Hating trends is very demure of you 🤣
