This Week in Housekeeping

This week I’ve updated these Theological Term of the Week posts:

anthropopathism

• Added a link to Divine Impassibility: Why Is It Suffering? by Paul Helm. This link was kindly suggested to me by David Elliot. He gave me more leads as well, but I haven’t read them yet. (You know, don’t you, that I read or listen before I link?)

Appolinarianism

• No changes made, but I’d really like to have more links than the three I have. Got any leads for me?

Arianism

• Updated links to two Phil Johnson sermons: The Arians, part 1 and The Arians part 2.
• Added links to Arianism by C. Matthew McMahon and Is Jesus Lesser in Nature than God the Father? by Don Stewart.

ascension of Jesus

• added a link to How Did Jesus Leave the Earth? by Don Stewart.
  

Thankful Thursday

I’m thankful for the greens and the radishes harvested from the garden. I’m thankful for the not-yet-ripe tomatoes on the tomato plants. Vegies from the garden are a blessing from our good God who sends the sun and rain so we can grow food.

I’m thankful that youngest son will be home tonight from his trip to  Vancouver to buy a suit. (I’m thankful that youngest daughter’s employer gives discount air travel tickets to family members of employees.) I’m really thankful that returning son will take over some of the responsibility for walking the dogs.

I’m thankful for a home that stays cool when it’s hot.

I’m thankful for the good news, aka the gospel.

On Thursdays throughout this year, I plan to post a few thoughts of thanksgiving along with Kim at the Upward Call and others. Why don’t you participate by posting your thanksgiving each week, too? It’ll be an encouragement to you and to others, I promise.
