Great connections — the gospel of John is unbelievably rich! … and what a powerful ending. If only they could hear.

(Also I am tempted to ask if your son takes requests for imprecatory prayers 😬)

Psalm 29 has been on my favorites list for decades, and what an enriched and refreshed grasp (and appreciation) I have now for how the Lord communicates his glory as a gathering, approaching storm in the Psalm. To understand it more fully in light of the eschatological framework of John 29 and your exegesis around the LXX “bronte” is powerful. Paradigm shifting. Humbling and comforting. Encouraging and convicting. The social, political, ecclesiastical insanity that’s running rampant today (and we’re not so unique “today,” are we?) shows how readily, eagerly we religiocrats love to whore after golden ephods. Lord, strike with your lightning. Let your thunder peal.
