@Plough @joynessthebrave 3/ This isn't projection. It's how matter behaves as creation rather than facade. Not the end of history but history changing engines. Grace as law, communion as causality, transfiguration as the incarnate at work. Spread out among us but you do not see it. There for the asking.

Copy of tweet here: Fair's fair I guess. Each side gets a shot at enforcing the cancel culture, I'm just going to keep posting about planting trees, cultivating garden, tending livestock, and following Jesus. It's worked out for me so far...
@CTmagazine 6/ This question exposes the deeper grain: Are we simply enduring the interminable suspension between meaning and meaninglessness, between the promise of intelligibility and its perpetual deferral, or does this waiting possess its own form of revelation, agency and purpose?

"Exhortation on its own is never enough, firstly, because it is always partial, reflecting the moral superiority of the powerful, and, more importantly, because it fails to take account of the possibility of moral collapse." Systemic Abrahamic collapse, in fact. t.co/WNe6eyR3ZM Retained uncertainty: [{"passage": "Exhortation on its own is never enough", "reason": "Quoted author is not named in image; addressee ThinkingFaith alone does not establish authorship.
