Young Gandalf

It’s Bilbo and Frodo’s Birthday

Tell the sorcerers to curse that day, those who know how to control Leviathan.

(Job 3:8) GNT

Today is September 22, and if you know anything about the Lord of the Rings then you know that this is Bilbo and Frodo’s birthday. Let’s incorporate Young Gandalf into Matty’s Paradigm.

We (that’s me and the Holy Spirit) are in an interesting situation. We’ve created so much content that we’re able to curate the collection and hone it into the best that it can be. We don’t need to create any new content.

However, there are a few gaps, September 22 being one of them. However, rather than create new content that would fill in the gap, we’re going to use this to engineer a congruence into our cultural fabric.

Salvation

  1. Call upon the name of Jesus Christ,
    • believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,
  2. confess your sin.
