Ferdinand Bol 1616 – 1680 -- Gideon and the Angel, etching — ca. 1640

Thank you, LORD, for Your grace both to Gideon and to me.

Judges 6-8

Hebrews 11:32-38

In the dying hours of Independence Day, I offer this link to you for your consideration. After another Fourth of July celebrated in and around the body of Christ, I am tremendously conflicted.

This is offered simply as a foil to much of what I heard today, and suspect more than a few of you (like me) are either confused or frustrated by this day of celebration.

It is not necessarily an endorsement, but rather the words of a sincere Christian leader in the midst of our (my) inner dialogue.

Myth of a Christian Nation

Bono & the World Cup – a match well made.

Phenomenal.

Another wonderfully helpful commentary from the good people at Mars Hill Church:

I’ve counted it a great privilege to have this young man as my student for the last two years. I’ve watched him grow as a player and as a person in many many ways. I’ve watched him love his family, and my family consistently and selflessly. We’re proud of him, and can’t wait to see what great things the LORD has for him in the future.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) – Team Indiana earned a split in the Annual Nancy Rehm Border Wars Classic as the Boys’ team snapped a four year losing streak with a 106-82 win.

BOYS – The Indiana Boys team snapped a 4 year losing streak to Team Ohio, riding a big second half to a 106-82 win. Michigan State bound Russell Byrd led the way for team Indiana with 25 points and 9 rebounds. La’Mondre Warren of Harding scored 21 points.

Hubble Scorpius

“Like a cosmic chandelier, the dazzling lights of the star cluster Pismis 24 hang over the dusty clouds of NGC 6357, a nebula about 8,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Scorpius.”

Twenty years ago Saturday, the NASA space shuttle Discovery launched from Florida carrying what would become one of the most iconic instruments in astronomy: the Hubble telescope.

For my part, the Hubble Telescope has had the marvelous (if unintended) consequence of inspiring worship of our great God.

“He determines the number of the stars;
he gives to all of them their names.”

Psalm 147:4
