An old farmer went to the city one weekend and attended the big city church. He came home and his wife asked him how it was. “Well,” said the farmer, “it was good. They did something different, however. They sang praise choruses instead of hymns.” “Praise choruses?” said his wife. “What are those?” “Oh, they’re [...]

We had an interesting sermon today on Ezekiel 1, the description of Ezekiel’s vision of the Lord’s glory. As part of the overall message, and specifically on Ezekiel 1:28, the pastor talked a bit on how the American mindset of “we bow to no one” makes it more difficult for American Christians to understand the [...]

(H.T. Kim Riddlebarger) A young monk (brother Joseph) arrives at the monastery. Excited about his new call, he is soon assigned a painstaking but important task–helping a group of monks copy volumes of canon law.

The verses of this popular liturgical song are a resetting of Psalm 91, with the chorus drawing on other source texts (see below). To the best of my knowledge, it has most commonly been used as a funeral or memorial service song, with the chorus’ language echoing images of heavenly regeneration. * * * On [...]

Out of random curiosity and partial boredom at work, I’m interested to see if there’s any correlation between the so-measured “Blog Reading Level” of your blog and your preference of Bible translation. That is, do we tend to write our blogs at a level that is consistent with the text level of the Bibles we [...]
