When I first heard these words on a tour of MBTS, I was a legalist, lived with constant guilt, and often laid awake in bed wondering if God even liked me because I was such a sinful mess.

Five years ago yesterday, these two minutes changed my life. I hope they change yours.

Watched Interstellar for the first time last night, and I’ve seen like 4 or 5 tweets about it today alone. Had no idea Matt Damon was in it beforehand. Also have no idea how I avoided that spoiler for 11 years.

[Emir Han @RealEmirHan]

Matt Damon was left out of Interstellar’s promotion almost entirely. He skipped premieres, and aside from a brief Variety note, his role was kept secret. Nolan wanted it that way to preserve the shock of Damon’s villainous twist.

For those who asked, these are my 39 preaching rules through which I run every sermon.

Why do bad things happen to good people? Grateful to @forthechurch for publishing my reflections on this question. You probably won't find an answer in here, but I hope you do find a reason to trust God.

@tylermrolfe @pj_schreiner I'm not sure! I've only seen a brief summary of his criteria and it didn't mention that. But that's a really good question.

[Kaden Classen @KadenClassen]

@pj_schreiner I haven't read it yet, but DeRouchie made me aware of Craig Smith's dissertation "Criteria for Biblical Chiasms: Objective Means for Distinguishing Chiasm of Design from Accidental and False Chiasm" a while back.

[Kaden Classen @KadenClassen]

@SLeatherbury Haha, I thought the same thing

My wife starts a job as a book editor for Crossway today. It feels like the culmination of her ever-growing love for en dashes, dreams of serving others through writing, and gift for word-smithing. So proud of you, Michaela. I can't wait to watch you flourish in this new role.

[Kaden Classen @KadenClassen]

@drjohnmeade I'm glad! She chose those books because they're the Crossway books that have meant the most to her. She loves your book!

Question for my pastor/scholar friends: is there any benefit to getting Accordance if I already have a nice Logos package? A lot of my professors who have both tend to use Accordance in class so I'm curious if I'm missing out.

@Giovanni_c Thanks, Giovanni! Yes, I was single when I posted that piece! Michaela reached out to me a couple weeks after it got put out.

[Kaden Classen @KadenClassen]

Today I asked the most incredible woman in the world to be my wife. I can't wait to marry you, Michaela.

[Kaden Classen @KadenClassen]

@JaredBumpers Thanks Jared!

Hard to put into words what these past four years have meant to me. So many wonderful people. So many moments of grace. So many days waking up with deeper knowledge of God's love. God is so, so kind.
