Words wither and blogs fade away…
Forgive me if you’ve heard this song before, but I've decided to stop blogging at He is Sufficient. I truly appreciate all of the wit, wisdom and words of faith that you have shared with me over the past few years. I wish you well in all of your endeavors, whatever they may be and wherever they may lead you. “God is sufficient for the needs of His people”. Amen!

That’s My King, Do You Know Him?
We had an interesting sermon today on Ezekiel 1, the description of Ezekiel’s vision of the Lord’s glory. As part of the overall message, and specifically on Ezekiel 1:28, the pastor talked a bit on how the American mindset of “we bow to no one” makes it more difficult for American Christians to understand the [...]

Shadows of the Almighty
After considerable discussion of Shaddai lately on Better Bibles, I thought I’d do a little Friday night free association and see what comes out.

Congratulations to DMHO…
First, to Denver Bierman on the birth of his new daughter, London. More about that on his wife’s blog… Second, as spoiled here, for making it into the “Elite Eight” of The Next Great American Band. They played Billy Joel’s “Tell Her About It” tonight and it was very well done. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxqrzgCE8T4] From what I [...]

Who says textual criticism can’t be funny?
(H.T. Kim Riddlebarger) A young monk (brother Joseph) arrives at the monastery. Excited about his new call, he is soon assigned a painstaking but important task–helping a group of monks copy volumes of canon law. However, brother Joseph soon notices that the monks are copying from copies of canon law, they are not consulting the [...]

SoD: “On Eagles’ Wings”
The verses of this popular liturgical song are a resetting of Psalm 91, with the chorus drawing on other source texts (see below). To the best of my knowledge, it has most commonly been used as a funeral or memorial service song, with the chorus’ language echoing images of heavenly regeneration. * * * On [...]

Blog reading level vs. translation preference
Out of random curiosity and partial boredom at work, I’m interested to see if there’s any correlation between the so-measured “Blog Reading Level” of your blog and your preference of Bible translation. That is, do we tend to write our blogs at a level that is consistent with the text level of the Bibles we [...]

Not sure this is a good thing…
Thanks (I think) to Gary Zimmerli for the link… Update: evidently after making a few more posts today, I’ve managed to pull my site’s ranking down. Go figure…

SoD: “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus”
This “song of the day” was inspired by a post on Kevin Sam’s blog, Word Alone, about Hebrews 12:1-2 and how we need to look away from everything that distracts us from Jesus and refocus or re-fix our eyes on Him. Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus Words and music by Helen H. Lemmel (1922) O [...]
