@WalkWithLyle Thx! It is a bizarre situation.

@EnoughLight Sorry to hear

I am sick and tired of having a dysfunctional group of squatters living next door. It is something, almost every day, that is disruptive, sometimes requiring calling the police. I am just venting.

This is so significant.

The mental health complex has convinced society that normal human distress = chemical imbalance requiring lifelong drugs. We've medicalized sadness, worry, grief, and personality. Result? Skyrocketing disability, suicide rates climbing despite record "interventions." When will we stop calling this "treatment" and start calling it what it is—iatrogenic harm on a massive scale?

Mark Manson was right when he said: “Beware: learning more is a smart person’s favorite form of procrastination.”

Never stop educating yourself, curiosity is the quiet engine of growth.

What have we done? The most coddled generation in American history. They bring their parents with them to job interviews.

What we lose when the Bible is only on a screen: 1. You remember where the verse lives on the page and aids memorization. 2. The page shows you much more at once. You see the context, not just a few verses at once. 3. The page keeps your notes. Years from now they will still be there, in your own hand. 4. The page cannot distract you with a notification. It only asks to be read. 5. The page is something your children watch you open and they know it’s the Bible. The screen gives much. The page gives more.

In my undergrad class, I assign weekly essays. Some students started using AI. But the final is in person, using pen and paper. The students who had used AI bombed. They could not remember what they had written in their weekly essays.

@Svigel @DrewBMcIntyre I've said, "We need more theologians writing music and fewer musicians writing theology."

Theology 101: When I think carefully about the recited words of most prayer books and liturgies, I’m often moved by their profundity; but when I think carefully about the sung words of some praise and worship songs, I’m often troubled by their stupidity.

The reaction of these graduates to the speaker’s AI enthusiasm is understandable and encouraging.

A few thoughts on Luke’s Olivet Discourse vv 29-39 1. The generation that sees the beginning (of the signs: “budding of the fig tree and all the trees) will see the end. 2. If the “fig tree” represents Israel (as it consistently does in other scriptures) then “all the trees” may represent the nations who historically were Israel’s ancient enemies having a national revival of their existence as Israel also did. 3. Godly living is joined upon believers for “that day” will come unexpectedly — AD 70 did not come unexpectedly thus these events must refer to the future. 4. It will come as a snare on “all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth” — the events of AD 70 were localized at Jerusalem. It is true that the word “earth” can also be translated “land” depending on context, clearly context “those who dwell on the face of whole …” favours the world as a whole not just Jerusalem and immediate surroundings. 5. Those who are worthy will escape “to stand before the Son of Man” clearly suggests the close of the present age and not the Jewish age of two millennia ago at AD 70.
