Please join me in praying urgently for the injured and families of victims of the shooting at Bondi Beach. Pray for the safety of the Jewish community and residents of Bondi. Pray for the police and medical teams in their work. Lord have mercy.

Oh my word. I was just targeted by one of those, "Were you born in this year (X)? Here's a free hearing aid!" advertisements. I mean, I did go to some pretty deafening concerts in my twenties, but have I really reached the age of hearing aids? Really?

What I see in Acts is a lot of surprise. They expect communal life in Jerusalem, they are surprised & flee from persecution. Phillip is surprised by the opportunity to preach to the Ethiopian. Peter is surprised by his vision and by Cornelius' household. God leads. They follow.

@glenscrivener I always thought Huxley was more on the ball with the early 21st century trends.

@KSPrior There is something to be said for the medieval style of higher education: learn all you can for three years, and then face one examination which may test you on anything. Viva - no AI.
Of course, it's never going to happen when parents are paying for their child's piece of paper.

Jen Lyell was one of the SBC abuse survivors I profiled back in 2019. At the time, Jen was a Lifeway VP and had only recently come forward with her testimony.

I've seen the toll her case has taken on her ever since, yet her insistence on change in the SBC.

She died Saturday.

@earngey I was so glad we could meet him at SMBC, too!

@glenscrivener @PatrickKMiller_ @PaulAnleitner That is a fantastic comparison. 😁

@ErringtonA I remember an 80s movie that showed a college lecture hall where the people gradually disappeared to be replaced by tape recorders. Wish I could remember which one it was...

@WendyAlsup I appreciate the truncation of "theo". To me it suggests less: less knowledge than they think. Less understanding. Less than truth. If they were humble to expand their understanding, they might one day reach Theology. But for now, incomplete.

@lyn_kidson Yep. Just in that n00b "how do I turn on the interwebs, Nigel?" phase of learning...

I'm out. See you over in the Blue, guys. Looking for somewhere to chat without being bombarded with nastiness.

@ErringtonA Nice. The camera angle gave me a deja vu of being at St Anne's as a 3 year-old!

@MargMowczko I keep thinking that 1:7 is a contextual clue, too.

[Kris Young ن @krisyoungwrites]

@JollyStine @steve_freddo Thanks.

[Kris Young ن @krisyoungwrites]

@JollyStine @steve_freddo Sorry, but I missed that this was on. What was the context?

[Kris Young ن @krisyoungwrites]

Yes, I am slow. But I finally realised that all those strange posts and reel captions beginning with "Certainly!" are ChatGPT space fillers...
