[Dr. Michael F. Bird @mbird12]

The evangelical world needs leaders who embody holiness, not hubris; who grow disciples, not groom sycophants; who see themselves as naked before Christ, not robed in the prestige of their platforms; who know that when success becomes an idol that bullying becomes a sacrament.

When Autism Comes to Church: Practical Advice for Parents & Pastors
"If you know one autistic child, then you know one autistic child. They are all different and their needs are different. Hence the preferred term 'neurodiverse.'" https://t.co/m11GyCco8E

Remember, just because @SBLsite puts cannabis infused chocolate in your tote bag does not mean you have to eat it. Be responsible, give it to a homeless person, or to John Dickson.

Today, Australians pause to remember all those who served, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defence of our security and in securing the peace.

This Remembrance Day, we honour their sacrifice, and reflect on the freedoms we must never take for granted. Lest we forget.

I LOVE this book—The Gospels Are Reliable History by Craig Keener 🚀

My endorsement: “I’m thrilled that we are witnessing a recent spate of books that argue for the historical reliability of the Gospels. Craig Keener’s latest, The Gospels Are Reliable History, summarizes and expands his previous work. This volume is clear and accessible, but his insights are rich. We can be confident that the Gospels are the product of eyewitnesses who lived in the period of living memory of Jesus. I do hope that pastors, students, and lay people will take the time to read this gem.”

If Jude and 2 Peter were not written by the historical Jude and Peter, yet found their way into the canon, does that make them forgeries that fooled the church?

For those interested in learning more about textual criticism of the New Testament as it is practiced, I had sat down with @mbird12 and discussed what’s happening with the text of Galatians in the next critical edition and its theological implications.

Can someone please recommend this course to @JensenHuang as mandatory HR training and maybe to @elonmusk as a preventative measure.

[John Blaxland @JohnBlaxland1]

I'm looking forward to returning to campus at @ANUasiapacific @ANU_SDSC next year where I will be teaching STST3003 "Honeypots and Overcoats" again in the @ANUBellSchool
Recent events suggest this course remains as relevant as ever ;-)

Was the New Testament forged? Many scholars argue that only a handful of books were actually written by their named authors—leaving us to question the rest!

@kdclaunch Kyle, if you posit maleness or masculinity as essential to God (are you?), then you are approaching a position relative to heresy. There is no need to go there!
