“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all the lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.” @JRRTolkien

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

Want to know the number one resource that we at NABC use outside of the Scriptures? The Heart of Jesus by @daneortlund.

Strugglers are desperate to know and delighted to find that God’s heart is drawn toward them in compassion when they sin.

I’ve never ever seen someone shamed or scolded into change. Only grace does that.

“We must not be frightened nor cajoled
into accepting evil as deliverance from evil.
We must go on struggling to be human,
though monsters of abstraction
police & threaten us.

Reclaim now, now renew the vision of
a human world where godliness
is possible..." - Robert Hayden

“The Birth of Christ is the eucatastrophe of Man’s history. The Resurrection is the eucatastrophe of the story of the Incarnation. This story begins and ends in joy.”

— J.R.R. Tolkien

The moment in BEN-HUR where Jesus offers water to Judah, and the way it is echoed and reversed at the film’s end, stands among the most powerful imagery I’ve ever seen.

The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947 by two Ta’amireh shepherds produced more changes in the life of the tribe than it did in the text of the Old Testament.... Paul W. Lapp (d. 1970), in Biblical Archaeology Review, v. IV, n. 1, March, 1978, p. 16 @museumofBible

That which man in every #religion, every century, every country, was powerless to effect, #God has achieved by the devastating #humility of His action and #suffering in Jesus Christ. - J.B. Phillips

"We have roofed it in & furnished it. We have reduced it to an occasion we feel at home with, at best a touching & beautiful occasion, at worst a trite and cloying one." @Fred_Buechner 2/2

"Christmas itself is by grace. It could never have survived our own blindness & depredations otherwise. It could never have happened otherwise. Perhaps it is the very wildness & strangeness of the grace that has led us to try to tame it. We have tried to make it habitable..." 1/2
