"Corporate worship is the divinely intended arena where God forms, nourishes, and gathers his people for his glory. Therefore, churches must help their members grasp the glorious privilege they have each Lord’s Day." Read @RichPenix's article on @9Marks: 9marks.org/article/the-prior…

Goodness. What a prophetic quote from 44 years ago.

Trade: Vikings are sending former Pro-Bowl LB Jonathan Greenard to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a third-round pick tonight (No. 98) and a third-round pick next year, per me and @rapsheet. Greenard and the Eagles reached agreement on a four-year, $100 milllion extension that includes $50 million fully guaranteed, per his agents Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey.

Spending most of April in the company of dear family that live too far away. Can’t think of a better balm to an aching heart. #familymatters #grandkidsareanamazinggift

On this day of Holy Week took place The Last Supper of Jesus with his Disciples. Hope this piece, co-written with Dave Bell, helps you focus on the importance of Christ's sacrifice for us. #holyweek #maundythursday youtu.be/ZxbGgfjg9Eg?si=WAqS…

This is the most amazing thing you'll see today! 💯 Psalm 50 in Aramaic by Trio Mandili — the language of Jesus. Haunting Miserere (Psalm 51 in Western Bibles). Grab tissues 🙏🏼 Translation from Aramaic down in the comments.

Is there more to St Patrick's Day than green beer and Celtic pipe bands? Written a couple of years ago, but still merits a quick read every March 17. ca.thegospelcoalition.org/ar… #stpatricksday #lifeofworship #Backstory

Between the Holy of Holies and the Holy Place hung a veil, both in the tabernacle and temple. The NT presents two ways of understanding the veil's symbolism. First, when “Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit… the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom” (Matt. 27:50-51; cf. Mark 15:38; Luke 23:45). This event signals the fulfillment and closure of the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 16). No longer would the high priest enter behind the veil with animal blood. Christ “entered once for all into the holy places… by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption” (Heb. 9:12). The torn veil thus shows that access to God has been opened. We may now enter the Holy of Holies with confidence through the blood of Jesus (Heb. 10:19). At the same time, it signals that God’s holiness is no longer confined to a single sacred space. Zechariah foresaw a day when ordinary objects would bear the inscription “Holy to the LORD,” indicating a spreading sanctification beyond the temple itself (Zech. 14:20-21). The tearing of the curtain marks the expansion of holiness outward. The temple, though still standing for a time, had become an ex-sanctuary, its role fulfilled. In AD 70 it fell, and for Christians there remained only one true temple: Jesus the Messiah, whose resurrected body is our living sanctuary (John 2:19-21). The second major way of understanding the veil comes from Hebrews. Believers have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, through the new and living way opened through the curtain, that is, his flesh (Heb. 10:19-22). The OT veil marked the meeting place between God and humanity. In the incarnation, Jesus unites both sides of the curtain in his own person. His flesh becomes the place where God and humanity meet and the means by which we approach the Father. The way is new because it belongs to the new covenant, and it is living because Jesus lives and gives life to those who come through him. What was once a barrier has become a permanent entrance into God’s presence. ___ Adapted from my book, The Christ Key: Unlocking the Centrality of Christ in the OT. a.co/d/09ox0DlW
