mereorthodoxy's tweet card. Sharp disputes in the life of any church won't be solved by emoting or catastrophizing, but only by making arguments and maintaining strong trust.

The Romance of Realism hubs.li/Q03x_D7_0

The Final Apologetic hubs.li/Q03xPPVF0

Reading Historic Theology Like an Adult hubs.li/Q03xJnKX0

Great episode. Everyone should listen to Brad East right now. He is absolutely one of the best theologians talking and writing about technology. His "Nein!" to technological dehumanization is what we need.

I have been thinking much upon death lately, partly as a result of witnessing my father's rapid physical decline with Parkinson's Disease and also due to recent political struggles against euthanasia in NYC and the UK. I wrote a piece on Jesus the healer and the defeat of death.
