19 years ago today I repented of my sin and unbelief, and said Yes to Jesus for forgiveness, life, righteousness, and joy.
10 out of 10 would recommend.

"When we say Jesus is better than these things [sex, romance], we’re not trying to shrink *them* but to magnify *him*."

😍 Thank you, Derwin!
Rachel Gilson has written a beautiful book. It is theological compelling, pastorally sensitive to the LGBTQIA community, and it erupts and overflows with Gospel-hope. @RachelGilson 👏🏿🙌🏿👏🏿
“[Jesus Christ’s] redemptive love thus fulfilled the creative task of Adam, to call things by their proper names”
—Oliver O’Donovan, Resurrection & Moral Order, 26
“The cross of Jesus means a total and costly identification with the world, on the one hand, and yet a radical separation from its idolatry, on the other”

"The majority of the lyrics startle, even frighten us," writes @RachelGilson.
"But they are a faithful reminder of what our washing cost and how much we are valued by the one who saw our stains better than we ever could." christianitytoday.com/ct/202…

Isn’t the idea of a "Fountain Filled with Blood" just a little much, a little macabre? Surely this must be a metaphor—perhaps one we can outgrow.
"The delicate tension of this hymn is that it is both metaphor and utterly real," writes @RachelGilson. christianitytoday.com/ct/202…
Rejoice with me! It's my 18th re-birthday, the anniversary of when I said Yes* to Jesus for the first time.
*(technically it was more like "ok, fine" but ya know. still worth celebrating haha)

My super smart friend @RachelGilson makes some super important observations from her reading of @TheAlanNoble’s super interesting book. The whole thing is just super. henrycenter.tiu.edu/2022/01/…

Next in the @henry_center symposium on @TheAlanNoble's You Are Not Your Own: @RachelGilson. This is a careful, nuanced appropriation of Noble's argument for a tough issue. Worth your time to engage.

Jesus promises that his return is certain. What are disciples to do in the waiting? Evangelize? Seek justice? Yes, writes @RachelGilson. And something else, too: christianitytoday.com/ct/202…
