The Prophet Zephaniah

The Prophet Zephaniah spoke out against religious and moral corruption during the reign of Josiah, ruler of the Kingdom of Judah (640-609 B.C.). His plea was for a return to simplicity and faithfulness to God or risk destruction. A powerful message relevant even today. pic.twitter.com/56JPfJHuWf

Would This Depiction of the Church Be Considered Canonical in the Byzantine Tradition?

First time I've ever seen something like it.

The Church is the new Eve; the bride of Christ, Adam the second; the body of Christ; the dwelling of the saints; the continuation of Mary who brings forth Christ; the upholder of the faith; the carrier of Tradition; the dwelling of the Spirit; and the provider of the Sacraments. pic.twitter.com/nVUDR7eRFB

The One Needful Thing

We must seek Thee, O Lord, instead of everything else, and nothing but Thee. For whoever seeks Thee finds everything in Thee. In Thee, O Lord, are riches for the needy, joy for the sorrowful, healing for the wounded, and comfort for all who mourn.

Protestants and Natural Law Theory

The rejection of natural law theory is one of the most unnecessary and tragic moves in Protestant ethics over the last seventy-five years. The more I teach from the perspective of biblical natural law, the more I see students' understanding of God's Word and world come alive.
