A thought: If God's mercies are new every morning (Lam 3:23), then every Christian should have an earnest desire to go to bed.

This is well said. Philosophical systems/terminology are not necessarily theologically indifferent, but chosen purposefully. Don't dismiss "Aristotelian" language of traditional Reformed confessions without knowing why it was used!

Being Reformed, of course I can't agree with everything Barrett says here. But his move is indicative of a larger trend worth noting. People are flocking to "high liturgy" or "traditional" churches as an antidote to the feeling of "un-rootedness" produced in modern society.

AI is rubbish at history. It just makes stuff up. I gave ChatGBT a go yesterday, thinking it might boost my productivity, and it fed me a completely bogus quote by Pindar. But making sure it WAS bogus took time - so far from boosting my productivity, AI had actively sabotaged it.
