I need to hard boil some of these because egg production is at a FAR higher rate than consumption 🥚

@WASPmexicano Just an FYI, @wipfandstock sells them for a bit less than that: wipfandstock.com/author/lancelo…

The Anglican equivalent is someone out here trying to charge over $400 for a copy of Andrewes' sermons lmao get real

The cost of Lutheran theological works are just insane. "Huh I'd like to read more about how Lutherans understand the church as apostolic." "Perfect! We have a work on that very subject." "Fantastic, how mu-" "That will be $1,500."

After seeing the photograph of Cormac McCarthy's living room (containing around 1000 books, 5% of his total personal library), I'm reminded of what Umberto Eco once said: "It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones. There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion. If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the 'medicine closet' and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That's why you should always have a nutrition choice! Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity." 🎯

Serpents slither and writhe their way into hiding places. They use camouflage to look like solid ground or a healthy tree. A snake does this to prolong life and kill his victims. Christians in our day need to pair serpentine traits with the warnings in Proverbs about the dangerous woman. The adulteress of Proverbs is a forbidden woman, and men are to keep their way far from her, lest they go down into death. What is she like? She is beautiful. Her lips drip honey as she speaks smooth words (5:3, 2:16). She wanders to and fro on the earth leading many to death. This paradigmatic dangerous woman is always on the prowl, and while proverbial threats in Solomon’s day were mostly external, with modern technology this lady is now potentially sitting in the palms of our hands for many hours of the day. She's omnipresent on screens and in modern music's idols. She lurks on social media, as porn bots and seductresses slither into the feeds of countless men. Many a pop songstress slink around on stages and screens with her smooth words. Their music, like their lips, is like honey. The songs are delicious; there's "talent"; the music sounds good - but it leads to death. The snake has found his way into our ears and hands, and he’s ready to strike 24/7.  This is not a call to abandon the glories of modern technical life, but rather a proverbial reminder of the enemy at the gate. Don’t be a fool. Be vigilant, both you and your progeny. Defeat the serpent by walking in the Spirit of the Serpent Crusher. Flee temptation. Be patient and delight in the wife of your youth. Give yourself to lady wisdom, found in the bride of Christ and her holy book. Let not your heart turn aside to her ways; do not stray into her paths, for many a victim has she laid low, and all her slain are a mighty throng. Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death. Proverbs 7:25-27 - Brian Moats

@Protestantongue Hello! It looks like older episodes from Pilgrim Faith are missing from iTunes. Do you know if they’ll be back soon? Thanks!

@bjgingerich Good to know. For some reason, it isn’t playing the Apple Podcasts app

@sciuttonym Nope. spreaker.com/podcast/faith-…

@bjgingerich Good afternoon. Is the podcast down for the time being?

@dk1188 @WVPitt Recently been republished: a.co/d/9tuZ27I

@WVPitt Thank you sir!

If you criticize Foote's Civil War trilogy because it doesn't have "footnotes" and "academic historians don't like it," you give away several failures of your own thought and ability to understand life.

Every sunrise is a reminder that the Light is always on the move, pushing back the darkness.

@matthewsmithUS Do you think they have anymore good albums in them?

lol I didn’t even like that U2 record #AppleMusic #replay23

@EdwardLHamilton Thankfully that color correction was removed from the more recent Blu-ray and 4K LOTR releases

Most disturbing when it's done retroactively to something you remember as having once been somehow "better" in a way you can't quite understand, at least until someone shows a comparison side by side. youtube.com/watch?v=jSPRGt…

It's almost infuriating to know that directors shoot movies using normal color and light, then drain it all back out in post-production. Every recent movie is a visually ruined version of what it should have been.

@NoJesuitTricks Hello. Will the Foolishness of God be back in stock anytime soon?

@IVMiles @dandarling That’s a pretty great trajectory tbh. From Showbread to Hillsdale prof

@dandarling TBH, it was skillet and showbread

Didnt love every part of being reared Presbyterian but seeing a bunch of people shocked that their fav CCM artists have changed socio-politics and theology while I was like "whats a CCM" has me kinda thankful.

@HannahGraceLong Assuming you’ve seen Open Range?

Now watching: LET HIM GO. Grizzled laconic Costner is always good, makes me look forward even more to his upcoming Western epic.

@WB_Baskerville @WASPmexicano In Bruges is a Christmas movie

You know what’s zany and always charming is when some kind of out there rascal whose just a little too clever for his own good suggests that Die Hard - yea, that Die Hard! Is a Christmas movie!

@NoJesuitTricks Hah. Well, carry on! Are there any plans for additional @otreligioncast episodes?

@NoJesuitTricks Mr. Meeks, I am compelled to inform you that this is a bit, albeit a hilarious one. youtube.com/c/TheRealSpark

@suzania @zugzwanged Can confirm.
