I want to live someday “in that world where such absurd and inhuman distinctions are unknown", just like Theodore Sedgwick Wright.
Dr. Steve Baugh is a role model for me in so many ways. #deepwork is one of them, which comes out some in his conversation with @rscottclark about 37 years of teaching the Greek NT.
To better understand what it means to be “not of this world”, read What Did Jesus Mean by “The World”? by @Nick_Batzig.

I’m going to try syndicating my posts to Twitter for a while.
Jump over to whimsical.club. With so many overly-serious websites these days, it’s fun to explore some “websites that spark joy.” HT: @chrisaldrich

I’m designing a course on Christian maturity and discovered the Workload Estimator 2.0. If you are a teacher, bookmark this. Students might find it helpful too for planning their schedules.
Over the next two of days, I’m attending Acton University Online. There are so many interesting sessions that choosing my schedule was tough. I’m excited for tomorrow.
Gospel of John, 17v3:
And this is eternal life, that they know you, the ony true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
Epistle to Diognetus, 12v4:
For neither is there life without knowledge nor sound knowledge without true life.
Last’s night’s sermon was on these words from Genesis 17:1: “walk before me and be blameless.” Listen to hear what that looks like, why we should, and how such a wonderful thing is even possible.
This morning I preached John 16:25-33. In this passage, Jesus tells us three truths that steady our hearts and give us peace.
Meredith Kline on p. 318 of Kingdom Prologue:
…divine demand for godliness is therefore found in covenants of works and grace alike. The precise kind of conditionality carried by the imposed obligations differs, however, in these two types of covenants.
The Berlin Phil is offering free streaming of its concerts. And starting Monday with Carmen, the Met is going to be streaming a free opera every night. Thank you, musicians!
