February 10, 2021 09:36Article Link: Seek a Broken Heart for Sin, by Scott Hubbard (from DesiringGod.org) “The triumphant, victorious Christian life is marked by a curious feature: it rarely feels triumphant or victorious. “In the kingdom of God, strength comes through weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9–10), greatness through service (Mark 10:43), and wholeness through brokenness (Psalm 147:3).” Read more…

This week’s article: 6 Questions About Prayer You May Be Afraid to Ask
January 29, 2021 03:44Article link: 6 Questions About Prayer You May Be Afraid to Ask, by Pete Nicholas (from Redeemer City to City) “Like many areas of the Christian life, prayer is mysterious, wonderful, and necessarily practical all at the same time. Unfortunately, this can mean that people don’t ask questions about it for fear that they’ll look stupid or somehow destroy its mystique. “But if prayer is so essential to our walk with the Lord (which it is!), then we need to be open and candid about our questions ...

December 17, 2020 06:51Article link: The Consensus Best Books of 2020, by Tim Challies . “Over the past couple of weeks the blogs and sites I read have been humming with list after list of the top books of 2020. It seems that just about every avid reader I follow is eager to share his or her picks for the year that was.

This week’s article: How Not to Share the Gospel at Christmas
December 10, 2020 04:31Article link: How not to Share the Gospel at Christmas, by Paul Tripp (from Crossway.org) “During the Christmas season, you’re going to be around friends, fellow workers, or family members who know nothing of Christ, know nothing of what this story is about, know nothing of their need for a Savior.

This weeks article: Christians can be difficult people
November 26, 2020 02:16Article link: Christians Can be Difficult People, by Renee Tan “I must confess, I think Christians are sometimes difficult to work with.

I am one of them: Looking at my own life, I cringe at my sharp tongue, reluctance to forgive, and lack of moral courage in handling heated situations well, despite calling myself a Christian.” Read more…

November 17, 2020 05:05Website link: Theology of Work, from City Bible Forum “Were we made to work? People have worked since God first put Adam and Eve into the garden to care for it, but what about your work? Why do we work? For money, prestige or because we were made for it? A theology of work makes sense of who we are, what we do and why we do it. This collection of talks, articles and podcasts will help you understand the value of your work, the nature of your identity and narrow the sacred and secular divide.”...

By Justin Taylor, from The Gospel Coalition US “Several years ago, John Piper did a seminar on biblical eldership and worked through these qualifications.

This week’s article: Conspiracy Theories Among Christians
October 28, 2020 06:06Article link: “Whatever is True”: Reflecting on the Growth of Conspiracy Theories Among Christians, by Dan Darling (from 9Marks) “Well, that’s what they want you to think,” a friend insisted, with particular emphasis on the they and want, after the end of a long and fruitless argument about whether or not a group of secretive bankers was plotting in smoke-filled rooms to destroy the world.” “We may not convince our conspiracy-loving uncle at Thanksgiving, but our pursuit of truth can set an e...
This week’s article: Reading Narnia While the World Burns
October 20, 2020 04:55Article link: Reading Narnia While the World Burns, by Cassie Watson (From the TGCA website) “October 16th is the seventieth anniversary of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

October 13, 2020 06:45 - 276 KB application/pdfIn the first week of our series in Malachi, we talked about the Love of God, which is both a profound, life altering truth, but also a cultural cliche that is almost always misunderstood!

September 07, 2020 22:53Article link: Does Acceptance of a COVID-19 Vaccine Represent Endorsement of Abortion? By Megan Best (From the Gospel Coalition Australia) “Christians should call on the government to provide access to a vaccine that is produced ethically, should such a vaccine become available: no Australian should be forced to choose between being vaccinated against this potentially deadly virus and violating his or her conscience. “In the absence of an ethical vaccine, Australian Christians should submit t...
This week’s article: Riots in John Piper’s Neighbourhood
September 02, 2020 23:04Article link: Riots in John Piper’s Neighbourhood, by Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra (from The Gospel Coalition US) “John Piper didn’t have a grand vision for city revitalization when he moved in four decades ago. He just wanted to be able to walk to work, and thought it was more authentic to live in the same neighborhood as the church. Soon after, convinced that “presence matters,” he issued a call for Bethlehem members to join him. Within a decade, 400 of them had bought homes in one of the city’s w...
This week’s article: 4 Encouraging Truths for Christians with Mental Illness
August 27, 2020 04:27Article link: 4 Encouraging Truths for Christians with Mental Illness, by Lieryn Barnett (from The Gospel Coalition US) “Mental illness can still be a highly stigmatized topic in the church. For those who do not have such struggles, suicidal ideations and the extreme despair that come with clinical depression can be difficult to understand. Although many Christians know the trial of occasional anxiety or depressed feelings, people with a diagnosed mental illness face unique challenges. “And t...
This week’s article: Have You Been Isolated From the Herd?
August 20, 2020 04:18Article link: Have You Been Isolated From the Herd?, by Matt Smith (from the Gospel Coalition Australia website) “Of all the things that COVID has exposed, the one I find most disturbing is our lacklustre attitude to church. “Over on the west coast, churches have been meeting physically for about six weeks. And for all the joy of seeing familiar faces again, the real tragedy is the faces we aren’t seeing. Some people haven’t come back. They’ve been isolated from the herd. And this poses a thr...

August 12, 2020 05:53Article link: Despair and Light From the Rubble of Beirut, by Marwan Abdol-Zelof (from The Gospel Coalition US website) “This past Sunday, I led our church as we prayed through Psalm 13. The words have been ringing in my heart since the explosion here in Beirut. How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? “Tonight, this is the cry of my city. The people here feel forgotten.

This week’s article: 5 Christian Cliches That Need to Die
July 16, 2020 00:12Article link: 5 Christian Cliches the Need to Die, by Matt Smethurst (from The Gospel Coalition USA website) “Books don’t change people,” John Piper once observed. “Paragraphs do. Sometimes even sentences.” A good sentence is a gift. We love finding complex truth shrinkwrapped in clear, simple, memorable form. It’s why Charles Spurgeon and C. S. Lewis are dominating a newsfeed near you. Even God likes pithy statements—at least enough to breathe out a whole book of them. But one-liners aren’t ...
This week’s article: Your Seat in Church is a Seat in Heaven
July 10, 2020 03:15Article link: Your Seat in Church is a Seat in Heaven, by Megan Hill (from The Gospel Coalition USA) “Dear Christian, in light of these glorious realities, don’t forsake the church’s assembly for worship (Heb. 10:24–25). Be there when you are rejoicing (Ps. 122:1). Be there, like Christ himself, when you are facing great trials (Matt. 26:30). Be there when you are tired, and when you are doubting. “Listen to God’s Word read and preached, sing the songs that God’s people have always sung, join...

This week’s article: Why You Should Ditch Your Digital Bible
June 18, 2020 04:04Article link: Why You Should Ditch Your Digital Bible, by Matt Smith (from The Gospel Coalition Australia) “I am not advocating for the wholesale rejection of digital Bibles. But, in consistently choosing them over paper Bibles, we are inadvertently robbing ourselves of the opportunity to store up God’s precious and life-giving word in our hearts, contenting ourselves to sip from the fountain when we could be drinking deeply from it.” Read more…

June 11, 2020 01:51Article link: Asterix and the Plague: Evangelism in the time of COVID-19, by Josh Apieczonek “Can I ask a bit of a naughty question? Did you have a negative reaction to articles about mission and evangelism during this pandemic? Maybe they irritated or depressed you? Maybe you just felt flat and uninspired and their earnest, enthusiastic tone grated a bit like those slightly unhinged, caffeine-tinged charity muggers with their battering clipboards and backpacker accents…” Read more…
