Happy 100th anniversary of C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien's first meeting, and this entry from Lewis's journal. “He is a smooth, pale, fluent little chap … No harm in him: only needs a smack or so.”

The Trinity, the virgin birth, giants, angels, demons, talking animals... There is nothing we believe in the core doctrines of Christianity that will be acceptable in a purely rationalist materialist worldview. Zero. So you might as well own up to it. Michael Heiser

JUST IN - Newly released by the administration, a set of "never-before-seen" UFO images has now surfaced.

@aelfred_D I'd be happy to introduce you to Norm Macdonald

I’ve never seen someone take over another person’s show like this

God *alone* has immortality (1 Tim 6:16) in the sense that he alone is *essentially* immortal—wholly alive, wholly intelligible, wholly blessed and in the sense that he is capable of and actually does grant immortality to creatures through his immortal Son by his immortal Spirit.

@jaredcwilson Smartphone hands get tired way faster than pre-smartphone hands.

Administering the final exam in my pastoral ministry course this morning using blue books. Students must write answers longhand. I'm seeing guys groaning and keep massaging their hands, I guess, because nobody writes for sustained periods any more.

@malcolmguite @canterburypress @TheRabbitRoom I am ever so eagerly awaiting the arrival of my copy!

Happy to say that my @canterburypress and @TheRabbitRoom book Galahad and the Grail is currently number one in poetry on both sides of the Atlantic!

"And this fool of an Ape, who didn't believe in Tash, will get more than he bargained for! He called for Tash: Tash has come. … People shouldn't call for demons unless they really mean what they say." - C.S. Lewis, The Last Battle

@BibChr What a killer track. Love that whole album.

This man is incredible—Artemis II Astronaut Victor Glover had a simple message to his neighbors as he arrived home: “I don’t know if you heard me say it, but God told us to love Him with all that we are and love our neighbors as ourselves.”

@TomHicks2LCF Take heed the words of Benjamin Keach:

Monster Jam > Pearl Jam

“See, what a morning, gloriously bright, with the dawning of hope in Jerusalem; folded the grave-clothes, tomb filled with light, as the angels announce ‘Christ is risen!’” Why should we sing about folded up grave clothes? To make the comparison between Jesus and Lazarus. Lazarus was raised to the resumption of life. Jesus was raised triumphant over death. Lazarus came forth from the grave, bound with linen strips and wrapped in a cloth (John 11:44). By contrast, the disciples saw the linen cloths of Jesus folded up in a place by itself (John 20:7). Nothing to unwrap. No one to unbind. Jesus did not struggle to get free. He did not stumble out of the tomb. He got up on resurrection morning, took off those nasty death pajamas, and folded them neatly in a corner because he had no need for them anymore. Jesus was not simply living again; he was done dying forever. “Death is dead, love has won, Christ has conquered.”

I think the Mariners have a real shot at the World Series as long as none of them shoots an albatross.

“Meanwhile, there's far too much moral clarity in The Lord of the Rings for the story to feel authentic and relatable.”
