Great visual display of just how many extra repetitive emphatic amplifying bonus multiplying words that weren't strictly necessary for the main point Paul used in Eph 3:20. (Found on a David Legge handout.)

"Now, splendidly, everything had become clear. The enemy at last was plain in view, huge and hateful, all disguise cast off. It was the Modern Age in arms." After this week I feel like Evelyn Waugh at the time of the Nazi-Soviet Pact in 1939. The politics of 'progress' has…

I just found this filed in Evernote under 'bad jokes' from when I was writing on apocalyptic and kept typing it wrong. apocalypstic. Adjective. Relating to a serious make-up malfunction.

Spurgeon on psalm 131 is a fantastic read, especially for ministers, on contentment and doing the good work the Lord sets before us rather than dreaming of great works. spurgeon.org/resource-libra…

Bavinck: “Prayer is the test and thermometer or our spiritual life, its pulse, and the best medication for it” (Reformed Ethics vol 1). Helpful. Prayer is at once the vitals, the diagnostic and the prescription.

This letter, in today’s Times, stopped me in my tracks. The assisted dying Bill will affect all of society, in ways that have barely been considered.
