The last day a class meets is always a bummer, especially when the batch of students is particularly insightful and sincere.

I’m always grateful for our Southern Seminary students, but days like today I especially feel what an undeserved privilege it is to teach.

Rare movie recommendation. In my opinion, 1917 is the best film made in the last decade.

The Anointed Servant brings the favor of God to people held captive by unrighteousness.

So proud of our Southern Seminary and Boyce College award recipients.

Matthew Westerholm Will Bishop Kha Do

I am so grateful for the humble, grounded leadership of Daniel Akin. The men surrounding him in these pics is evidence of it. Congratulations, brother.

Nothing like an afternoon of local theater. My friend Ken Billings played Estragon in “Waiting for Godot” pitch perfect.

Bonus: I got to nerdsplain existentialism, absurdism, and Samuel Beckett to my adoring wife and friends all the way home.

“This world is not our home. We live east of Eden and… the earlier children understand this, the more sense they can make out of this sad, wonderful place.”

Well deserved! A joy to serve with Matthew Westerholm!

Such a kind, gifted, and thoughtful theologian and practitioner. A huge gift to our churches and our students.

Working alongside Dustin Bruce and Hershael York as deans at Southern Seminary and Boyce College has been nothing but joy. And work. Lots of work.
Well deserved, Dustin. Congrats.

The committee was quite pleased with Keith’s work. We’re proud he holds his doctorate from us at Southern Seminary and that he’s serving such an important institution as RTS Charlotte.

Feeling that God is distant?

Isaiah 59. Tomorrow at 9:30am, Room 205 at CliftonBaptistChurch

Beautiful. An illustration of a dad’s daily labor, forgetting himself so his children find life.

By words, Christ made the world.
By sorrow, Christ won it back.

Between two thieves
I spend my utmost breath,
As he that
for some robbery suffereth.
Alas! what have I stolen from you? Death.
Was ever grief like mine?

Wife: Ya know, there’s a guy on Instagram who makes his wife a fresh bouquet of flowers every week and brings it to her at work.

Me: Ya know, there’s a guy in this house who makes his wife money every day and brings it home from work.
