Silly dove without heart

from TWC Afterthoughts · host John

THERE ARE THREE PORTRAYALS OF THE DOVE I WANT FOCUS ON FOR A MOMENT. HOSEA- SHOWS US THE SILLY DOVE- EASILY CAUGHT IN THE NETS OF ENEMIES AND FOOLISHNESS OF THE WORLD.PSALMS- SHOWS US A DOVE THAT IS EAGER TO FIND PEACE, RESTORATION, BEUATY, AND REST. AFTER HARDSHIPS THEY BECAME RESILIENT THEIR WINGS WOULD BECOME BEAUTIFUL WITH SILVER AND GOLD SHIMMERS FROM THE SUN REFLECTING OF THEIR WINGS AS THEY FLEW. YOU WILL GO THROUGH HARDSHIPS BUT LET THE WORLD SEE YOUR BEUATY AS GOD PULLED YOU OUT OF THE MUCK AND MIRE, KNOCK THE DIRT OFF YOUR FEET AND KEEP MOVING, THE GOSPELS GOTTA GET GOING! YOU HAVE THE GOSPEL DOVE- THIS ONE DESCENDED FROM HEAVEN DURING THE BAPTISM OF JESUSTHIS IS DIVINE NATURE- INFUSED AND BAPTIZED WITH THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. THE SAME POWER THAT RAISED JESUS FROM THE GRAVE. The same bird symbolizes both human weakness and divine perfection, showing how God transforms what is foolish and vulnerable into something holy when filled by His Spirit. After the great Flood, Noah sends out birds to test whether the waters have gone down enough for life to resume:First, he sends a raven, which flies back and forth (scavenging on floating carcasses).Then he sends a dove (a cleaner, more gentle bird). On its first trip, it returns with nowhere to land.   On the second trip, the dove brings back a freshly plucked olive leaf. This is decisive evidence:The waters have receded enough for plants to grow again.The leaf was “freshly plucked,” showing new growth, not something that had been floating dead in the water.A week later, Noah sends the dove out a third time, and it does not return—signaling it’s safe to leave the ark.WE HAVE RAVENS AND DOVESRAVENS ARE FOCUSED ON THE DEADDOVES ARE FOCUSED ON PEACEHOWEVER, SOME OF THOSE DOVES DON’T KNOW HOW TO FIND ITSOME OF THOSE DOVES ONLY HAVE A PIECE OF ITAND SOME OF THOSE DOVES GO MAKE NEW PATHS WITH IT. Thewayknoxville.com

AfterCast: An Audio Companion for the Classical, Charlotte Mason Mama Brandy Vencel For many years now, Afterthoughts has been a sort of intellectual watering hole for classical, Charlotte Mason homeschooling mamas. At Afterthoughts, we have spent over a decade nourishing our minds on theology, educational philosophy, and a million other books and subjects thrown in – all the while bringing these ideas into a direct collision course with our daily lives. As an audio companion, this podcast is a chance to hear Afterthoughts blog posts rather than read them. Couple that with some bonus content focused on books and interviews, and you've got AfterCast.
