Idle musings by a once again bookseller, always bibliophile, current copyeditor and proofreader. Complete with ramblings about biblical studies, the ancient Near East, bicycling, gardening, or anything else I am reading (or experiencing). All more or less live from Red Wing, MN

Quote for today
You are really changed; you are not only accounted, but actually “made, righteous.” “The law”—the inward power—“of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made” you “free” —really, actually free— “from the law” or power “of sin and death.” This is liberty, true gospel liberty, experienced by every believer: Not freedom from the law of God, or the works of God, but from the law of sin and the works of the devil. See that ye “stand fast in” this real, not imaginary “liberty, wherewith Christ hath made you free.” —John Wesley, A Blow to the Root
