Ravenous for Holiness
How I love Your Law! It is my meditation all the day. Psalm 119:97 NASB20 Blessed is the person who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,Nor stand in the path of sinners,Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the Law of the LORD,And on His Law he […]
Being Able Not to Be Able
Here’s another reflection from Byung-Chul Han’s book The Agony of Eros. Eros is a relationship to the Other situated beyond achievement, performance, and ability.
