Gavin Ortlund @gavinortlund.bsky.social · 03/03/2025Every clause in this passage is relevant to social media interactions. Challenging but worth aiming for: "And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness" (II Tim. 2:24-25). 2241
Gavin Ortlund @gavinortlund.bsky.social · 30/01/2025There is so much cruelty in the world. As Christians, let's not add to it. Our methods matter.

Gavin Ortlund @gavinortlund.bsky.social · 22/12/2024Lots of depression floating about this time of year. Attentiveness and offering prayer to others can open up real doors for ministry. 0151
Gavin Ortlund @gavinortlund.bsky.social · 11/12/2024The people rejected, despised, overlooked by this world are especially dear to Christ. He loves and notices the failures, the outcasts, the forgotten. That is who He is. "A bruised reed He will not break." Thankful. 5699

Gavin Ortlund @gavinortlund.bsky.social · 04/12/2024A recent New York Post article noted the dramatic rise in recent years of conversions into Eastern Orthodoxy. Here I explore why this is happening, why it matters, and how Protestants should respond. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXNL...youtube.comWhy Young Men Are Becoming Eastern OrthodoxYouTube video by Gavin Ortlund 040

Gavin Ortlund @gavinortlund.bsky.social · 02/12/2024Lots of people are eager for a more robust view of the sacraments today.

Gavin Ortlund @gavinortlund.bsky.social · 27/11/2024We can learn so much from Bonhoeffer. We must be careful to hear his own voice, and not craft him in our image. youtu.be/Bt4wejgaxrsyoutu.beThe Bonhoeffer Film Has a BIG ProblemYouTube video by Gavin Ortlund 1121
Gavin Ortlund @gavinortlund.bsky.social · 25/11/2024The conquest of Canaan is one of the most difficult parts of the Bible for modern readers.
