Doing a little prep for my upcoming New Testament Survey course at Mississippi College. We’ll be spending the next 15 weeks walking through the NT together. Glad to be back serving my alma mater.

Wise and helpful words, as always, from Derek Rishmawy.

On the teaching schedule for today: Introduce my 12th graders to the Trinity, walk my 10th graders through the Nicene Creed, and give my college students a Protestant bibliology as well as a look into the cultural background of the NT. Tuesdays are long, but they are rich.

Many of those who disregard the power of prayer will one day be surprised to learn that they were the recipients of its effects thanks to the habits of pious little old women and God’s grace. I’d hate to see the state of the world apart from their prayers.

I had 20 high school students sign up for my scholars program. 20 teens voluntarily committed to (1) read the great books of the western canon, (2) use those works to discuss the classical virtues, and (3) attend cultural and educational field trips. They want the good stuff!

Not gonna lie - I’m surprisingly emotional about a man who puts on mascot heads.

This is a straight up bonkers statement to come from a sitting senator. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are *endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.*” Where does Kaine think this quote comes from?

My 10th graders are writing their first research paper. I’m offering bonus points to anyone who uses physical books from my personal library. I have 70 fifteen year olds reading and thinking through Charnock, Turretin, Van Mastricht, and Bavinck. It does my soul *good.*

Teaching a NT course has been great for my soul. It requires that I read each book in one setting, a new practice for some of the longer books. It’s amazing what you see. The worst opinion an educated man can have about the Bible is that it’s one of the best books ever written.

Physical copies in hand.

Had a special guest to help me lecture on Sola Scriptura today. My students were especially attentive. Not sure why.

Sports gambling and AI are tightly related. Work is hard, modern life is “grim.” and technology offers an instant fix. Why read, write, or work when a computer can do it for you and cash is only a click away? Added bonus - poor dumb people are easier to control, so that’s good.

I’ve spent the last few days watching football and basketball games from the 90s. It will radicalize you. Sportscasting has crashed the last few years.

So, anyone who has any kind of normally adjusted feeling and response to the world intuits naturally that this is extremely wrong and very disturbing. It's kind off sickening, makes you feel ill. You know it deep down. I don't need to belabor it. We all know it. I actually think

Friends at ETS, take advantage of a small discount on the book. It’s *very cool* to receive pictures like this from y’all. If you find Truth Not Served in the wild, I’d love to see it.
