Without his kindness, we are nothing

human rebellion builds a hole
divine kindness fills wholly

human mutiny chooses death
divine kindness gives ever-life

human brokenness sits alone
divine kindness makes family

“Eat Like A Predator, Not Like Prey”: Paleo In Six Easy Steps, A Motivational Guide

I just heard a podcast with J. Stanton on Latest in Paleo (a great podcast, by the way)! I've been falling off the paleo wagon of late and my skin, joints, and bloating tell the tale. I am officially back on the wagon.

I begin tonight with a mess of Brussels sprouts and a hunk of Top Sirloin.

Beginning with the unseen to know the seen

Knowledge has two penultimate sources-- discovery and revelation --but only one ultimate source: Trinity. A distinctively Christian scholarship begins with the ultimate source: Jesus Christ.

Responding to the myth of objectivity

We always bring ourselves along as we discern the themes and patterns in narrative data. Careful, iterative self-reflection is needed throughout the process of analysis.

Broken souls don’t love so easily

The love decision comes naturally, but natural has been made abnormal by human mutiny. Love’s skill must be practiced in apprenticeship to the proven master.

Don’t squander desire

Indulged desires, wasted on inadequate and inappropriate fulfillments, ought to be taken out behind the barn and dealt with like a chicken killing hound dog.

If you love someone, you hang out

Hanging out with Jesus is my decision: if I decide, then I will make time and space. So, I am deciding: details to be announced.

Proper trust is never terrified

Awe can fuel either terror or worship. Disposition decides which: with trust and love, then worship, with rejection and indifference, then terror.

Our hearts decide.

Learning is always a beginning

Despite being in a terminal degree, I am finally realizing that school is always a beginning, not an ending.

Some things take years to realize.

Will we open the Church door and let him in?

It’s a pet peeve, but not merely that: Revelation 3:20 is not and should not be an evangelism verse.

It is a verse judging Christians.

Prepping for truth leakage

reality is cloudy
revelation speaking clarity
this word
person and book
knowing and known
truth
infusing speech here
speaking in him
his life

Learning to trust the blink

I missed Kuyper’s triumphalism, setting aside my intuitive response. Now, reading Litfin’s brief aside on Kuyper, my kneejerk reaction becomes clearer. I wish I’d reflected.
