he gospel is what gives substance and life to Christianity. For a Christian, there is nothing more soul-refreshing than thinking about Jesus’ good news. So let me recommend the aptly named blog Of First Importance whose unambitious promise is to “provide a thoughtful quote to help you remember what’s ‘of first importance’: the gospel of Jesus Christ.” Among the many other things I read each day, I have found the disparate quotes (from different people, times and perspectives) on Of First Importance to be a treat I look forward to.

nother exceptionally helpful post from R Scott Clark can be found on his Heidelblog. The title is “A Word to Students in the Midst of Controversy,” and the content is excellent.

n reading old poetry to myself I tend to voice the ‘-th’ at the end of words as in ‘this.’ I find it establishes a pleasing sense of continuity between modern and archaic plurals.
On that note, I came across an interesting quotation this morning–apparently we mispronounce old poetry!
