Fairness is Blind, Justice is Not
A critique of NT Wright’s creatio ex vetere.
I’m memorizing Ps 23 and came across something quite profound. A little sentence “He leads me in paths of righteousness, for His name sake.” It’s not for me, He is the primary beneficiary of His mercy. For freedom Christ has set us free… so that we can choose to witness for His goodness.

The long and beautiful journey home.
We're living, for now, between paradise lost and paradise restored—neither Eden nor eternity—neither utopia nor dystopia, but the faithful middle where heaven's reality breaks into earth's brokenness. The Mesotopia is a framework for describing that inbetween space.
