As iron sharpens iron,
one person sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17)
“God isn’t just in life’s monumental things. He’s present in the little things: rain drops, the artistry of spider webs, and the sound of an acoustic guitar. A child’s laugh…. If we disregard these and thousands of other gifts, we don’t just fail to notice them, we fail to notice God.” - Randy Alcorn
“The first book is by far the richest for Christian devotion. Here Augustine distinguishes between things that should be ‘enjoyed’ (God alone) and those that should be ‘used’ (everything else, including Scripture, as a means to lead to God). He teaches his famous ordo amoris (order of loves)” - Churches Without Chests
“Is it just about using God’s name irreverently, or is there more to it?….the historical, linguistic, and theological dimensions of this command, including how it relates to bearing God’s name as His people.” - Word by Word
Read the series.
Let me begin with a statement that will have to be defended, but which I think is difficult to argue against:
Nowhere does the OT tell us that the New covenant is only intended for Israel.
“I try to suggest in the book that the struggle between wanting to know, curiosity, and wanting not to know, which is a resistance to knowledge, that those two forces are present in our minds all the time.” - L&L
“So one thing we all need to do is ask ourselves, What is my study of theology resulting in in me? How is how is this changing me? How is it affecting me? Am I growing and is that demonstrated by the way I’m relating to my brothers and sisters in Christ” - TGC
“So, which is better? General revelation needs specific revelation to make it truly comprehensible.” - P&D
“SPHEREx is trying to find out what caused the Big Bang. If they really want to get at the origins of the universe, they might want to add something to their list. We know that something cannot come from nothing.” - James Emery White
My earliest memory of a “witch” is of a pretty young lady named Samantha making magical things happen by twitching her nose with a quirky sound effect. It was the 1964 sitcom, “Bewitched.” We watched the reruns over and over. Another childhood memory is of the cackling crone in the Bugs Bunny cartoons, who left hair pins in her wake whenever she ran. I later learned she also had a name: Witch Hazel.
“Lest we slip into critical attitudes toward science, we must remember that science began with a mandate God gave in creation. God commanded Adam and Eve to have dominion over the earth and to subdue it…. The scientific enterprise is a part of that task.” - R.C. Sproul
