Quote of the Day – History Doesn’t Care
From Quadrilateral Thoughts: The nice thing about history, as Gamaliel once reminded us, is that it doesn’t care who you are, how much power you have, or how loudly you can shout. History, like truth, simply doesn’t care about people’s feelings. The Flood comes, some people are saved, some people drown with “Oops” as their…

St. John Chrysostom on Being Strangers
From Homilies on the Epistle to the Hebrews (Christian Classics Ethereal Library), commenting on Hebrews 11:13-16. All emphasis is mine. What then? Did they mean that they were “strangers” from the land that is in Palestine? By no means: but in respect of the whole world: and with reason; for they saw therein none of…

Beyond Complementarian
I found this story appalling. In making decisions about a Christian school and whether the principal should be fired, women were not even allowed to speak. While I do believe that a denomination or local church should have the right to do what it believes is right with a school it finances, including expecting the…

The Comprehensive Aramaic Lexicon Site
(Edited July 10, 2018 to update link.) I discovered this site some time ago and have used the Comprehensive Aramaic Lexicon site it as a reference before, but P. J. Williams on Evangelical Textual Criticism reminded me today that it’s nice to link to and recommend resources such as this. You have to be ready…

Flowers from My Dog Walking
I don’t usually post pictures because I’m not a very visual person and I’m definitely not a photographer. But I enjoyed using my Palm Centro phone to take pictures of a few flowers I saw while walking my dog. He’s getting a bit older, so the walk is only about a third of a mile,…
