@homebringwine @RefConformist Among those opposed to ordaining women to the office of deacon, the reformed tradition has a long history of some sort of category for female assistants to the deacons that is distinct from male assistants. Sometimes they're called deaconesses sometimes they're not.

This is an example of the scheduling chaos that South African professional rugby is currently snookered into because of TV rights and money. We have a key local derby kicking off at 2pm in early February! Hope they have sunscreen.
This one always means more. Two weeks out and tickets are flying. 🎟️ Get yours now #STOvBUL #iamastormer @Vodacom #URC

Arsenal only have themselves to blame for throwing away a 2 goal lead, but I've looked at the disallowed goal from all 3 available angles (in slow mo) and it's still not clear to me that it actually touches his arm.

Nope. Arsenal won Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1970 and the Cup Winners' Cup in 1994. Google is your friend.
This is just a reminder that Ipswich Town has more European trophies than Arsenal💀

Grateful for Carson's faithful ministry. Have always loved his close attention to the text and his desire to bring the academy and the pastorate closer together.
Please be in prayer for The Gospel Coalition’s co-founder, Don Carson. As he shared in a recent Christmas letter, the physical and cognitive limitations arising from his Parkinson’s Disease have forced him to end his speaking engagements and other ministry involvements. Along with scores around the world who have been touched by his decades of biblically faithful writing, teaching, and church leadership, we want to express gratitude to Don for the founding vision and ongoing guidance he has provided The Gospel Coalition, which marks its 20th anniversary next year. Please ask the Lord to show mercy to Don and his family, granting them the knowledge of him and the sweetness of his presence as they walk through this trial. Though he is slowing down and facing significant health challenges, we take comfort in the truth Don is fond of reminding us: “I am not suffering from anything that a good general resurrection can’t fix.”
