The grace displayed in the flood was not special grace but common grace. The ark did not save unto eternal life but for temporal life on earth.

It is not that one repents, experiences forgiveness, and then is later baptized, but rather that the attitude of repentance comes to tangible expression in the act of baptism.

In Matthew 15:4-6, Jesus warns against using one commandment to override a different command (in this case.

If you think Jesus is a great moral teacher, you won’t use “love neigbour” to override the condemnation of sexual immorality.

Tomorrow, I teach my first class at Heritage College and Seminary.

Today, I was feeling nervous.

Then I played basketball. Now I feel pure excitement to teach. Also very thankful. God is good.

What we imagine most is what we image best. To navigate technology wisely, we must know Jesus.

Read enough Wendell Berry, and you might reject AI for the sake of nature.

Read enough Jacques Ellul, and you might reject AI for the sake of telos.

Or at least that’s how it seems to happen. The truth is much more complicated.

I wrote about that here:

A "religionless" human is a mere construct, as thin and vacuous an abstraction as the "natural man" of Rousseau and the adherents of the social contract.

In reality it never existed.

Modern people have no moral ideal, no example; they are only infatuated with progress toward a misty ideal. They are, therefore, restless, empty, without authority, disconnected, and emancipated.

It is in vain that you rise up early
and go late to rest,
eating the bread of anxious toil;
for he gives to his beloved sheep.
