My Church or Kingdom?
Ray Ortlund: Suppose I said, “My passion isn’t to build up my marriage. My passion is for Marriage. I want the institution of Marriage to be revered again. I’ll work for that. I’ll pray for that. I’ll sacrifice for that. But don’t expect me to hunker down in the humble daily realities of building a great marriage with my wife Jani. I’m aiming at something grander.”

Cool! I just enter in the contest for one of those. I do wish that it does come in ESV since that is what I had been eating a lot lately.

Re: Biblical languages — I know this is a question that can have many, many answers. But, is it important for a lay Christian such as myself? I am profoundly blessed in that I have access to seminary classes at Westminster California and a schedule that might accommodate one or two per semester. However, what sort of maintenance is required to stay up on a biblical language? In other words, because I am not studying at a rate a pastor might, would it be valuable for me in the long run? Or perhaps it would change the way in which I study the Word so profoundly that I WOULD maintain just in the course of my own devotional life. I’m caught between my utter fascination with biblical language and the constraints of a housewife-with-a-toddler-and-a-part-time-job schedule. I’d love insights from those of you who’ve done such study already.
