Join me in The Pub this Friday evening, the 28th, for happy hour and celebrating Milvian Bridge Day. We'll raise a glass, bust some myths, and sing some Milvian Bridge carols... (ok, there are no Milvian Bridge carols - but did you ever wonder why not? ... no, you probably didn't.) Same time as last time: 5 pm central time, 6 pm eastern time. BUT - THIS TIME we're going to try it on ZOOM so we can all see each other's faces. I'll post the zoom link tomorrow. (If you're not a supporter, now's the time to become one, so you can join us!) See you soon!
I mentioned in The Journey that I wrote a song based on Isaiah 2, which is one of my favorite OT passages:
In days to come, the mountain of the Lord’s house
shall be established as the highest mountain, and raised above the hills.
All nations shall stream toward it. Many peoples shall come and say:
“Come, let us go up to the Lord’s mountain, to the house of the God of Jacob, That he may instruct us in his ways, and we may walk in his paths.” For from Zion shall go forth instruction, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
He shall judge between the nations, and set terms for many peoples.
They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; One nation shall not raise the sword against another, nor shall they train for war again. House of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord!
I hope you like the song!
This is Michael Knowles' commentary on the murder of Charlie Kirk, and directly on the press conference about the arrest - In the middle is a great speech by the governor of Utah - overall excellent stuff if you have 1.5 hr to spend on it
with some Florida colleagues - all of them Protestant, but with varying traditions on the Eucharist - it was encouraging to hear how there are some Protestant denominations that have a real respect for the Sacrament (and I'm not talking about Anglicans or even Lutherans):
