A Tale of Two Cities: An Acts 17 thread on humility, faith, & discernment. In Acts 17, Paul uses scripture to teach two churches the gospel of Christ's suffering, death, and resurrection, with vastly different results. The difference? How each church responds to new teaching.
I’ve become increasingly convinced of our culture’s need for poetry. These last few weeks, as Fred Rogers would say “look for the helpers” I’ve been praying that a generation of poets would rise up, and give us beautiful, thoughtful words.
"Though the nations rage from age to age We remember who holds us fast"
"Governments need a separation of powers, legislative checks and balances, and laws legislated as if the party or person we fear the most will acquire the power to wield them." N.T. Wright and Michael Bird, Jesus and the Powers
"I want to create a space that takes our disagreements seriously and takes the stakes of them seriously — but does so without deepening our divisions irreparably. We are going to have to live here with one another." - Ezra Klein nytimes.com/2025/09/16/opi…

"Failure at small things reminds us of how helpless we are in this great, wide world. When little things spiral out of control, they remind us that even they were never within our control in the first place. And this is terrifying." #HumbleRoots @sometimesalight
"In a room By myself Looks like I'm here with a guy that I judge worse than anyone else " #JasonIsbell
"Safely on the shore we sank like stones To the bottom of a made up ocean" #mewithoutyou

Some good lessons here. In a culture that says you need to lead others through the door to be important, it's okay to step back and hold the door open instead.
"Some moments crush the soul because they arrive as the composite of every preceding moment—the same way black contains all colors, not an absence." Friends, if the black of those oils threatens to overwhelm, remember that God paints with light, and darkness is His canvas.
