This is the most detailed MRI scan of an unborn baby.
At just 20 weeks, she is moving, turning her head, kicking—even standing. Her beating heart is also visible.
Human life is a miracle.
Thomas Brooks: “For a close, remember this, that your life is short, your duties many, your assistance great, and your reward sure; therefore faint not, hold on and hold up, in ways of well-doing, and heaven shall make amends for all!”
@Digitalliturgy Very excited for this book....but 9 months? I waited less than this for my son to be born....Any chance you'd email me a manuscript :)
All jokes aside, I read "Digital Liturgies" after listening to your episode on Room for Nuance. Really helpful.
"One thing the incarnation teaches us about God is that He moves toward our danger, toward our trouble, and toward our pain—not away from it." - John Henderson
The answer is terminal secularism finally cashing out—resulting in a worldview that corrodes human nature, empties human purpose, and erodes the very meaning of human freedom.
If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies. Yet distance makes no difference. He is praying for me.

“There are three faults by which we offend God in being angry. The first is, when our anger arises from slight causes, and often from no cause whatever, or at least from private injuries or offences. The second is, when we go beyond the proper bounds, and are hurried into intemperate excesses. The third is, when our anger, which ought to have been directed against ourselves or against sins, is turned against our brethren. Most appropriately, therefore, did Paul, when he wished to describe the proper limitation of anger, employ the well-known passage, Be ye angry, and sin not. We comply with this injunction, if the objects of our anger are sought, not in others, but in ourselves,—if we pour out our indignation against our own faults. With respect to others, we ought to be angry, not at their persons, but at their faults; nor ought we to be excited to anger by private offences, but by zeal for the glory of the Lord. Lastly, our anger, after a reasonable time, ought to be allowed to subside, without mixing itself with the violence of carnal passions.”
-John Calvin on Ephesians 4:26
