I wish I had skills

This is an example of a wonderfully written blog post. It features the beauty of Jesus' Kingdom breaking into this world through mission work, the real horror of Islamic terror, a brief line regarding the coming clash of China vs. Jihadists, and a shot at Western elites. Superlative.

You might not be able to handle this essay

It is unconventional and crass. As David Brent would say, "Perfick."

That is, perfect to mull over, because it is not perfect in that someone spellchecked it carelessly.

Here's a secret revealed: The name "Ariel" means "Lion of God" in Hebrew. So forget about the Little Mermaid and go to Ariel's blog, BitterSweetLife, where this post towers like a mustard tree.

Ariel mentions a verse from Revelation in his post, which is the book I have been reading of late. Up till now, I've avoided Revelation, but I have discovered that regardless of your take on eschatology (i.e. the end times, I'm amil, if you care), the Book of Revelation contains a bounty of beautiful, soul-anchoring verses, such as found in chapter 3, verse 21:

To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

If you want to study Revelation and the larger topic of Eschatology, here is the best theology webpage available, Monergism.com. Here are Monergism's Eschatology resources.

Speaking of resouces, Ariel from time to time links to the blog of his theology professor, Dr. Mark DeVine, who has a page that includes some hot stuff on Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
