Kindle Deal: Gospel — Recovering the Power that Made Christianity Revolutionary by J. D. Greear. $0.99.
Seven of the best articles I came across this week:
1. Mark Galli – The World is Yearning for Beautiful Orthodoxy. This is what I aspire to. Thanks, Mark!
2. Get Religion – Pope Francis on Gender Theory as Global War on Family. The media loves when Francis speaks off-the-cuff in ways that make conservatives squirm. They ignore striking comments like this.
3. Ruth Ripkin – 3 Ways to Teach Your Kids to Pray for the Persecuted Church. If trends continue, this century will see persecution increase. Let’s teach our kids to pray regularly for our brothers and sisters.
4. Inc reports on Chick-Fil-A: How Good Manners Made This Restaurant the Best-Selling Fast-Food Chain in America. I love when good manners make the news.
5. Bethany Jenkins – Turning 40 While Single and Childless. Heartfelt, insightful reflection from a great thinker and writer.
6. New York Times – New study says 115 is the longest a human can live. I’d go with approximately 120 years, like Genesis 6 says, but this is in the ballpark!
7. Josh Presley – 7 Reasons Bi-vocational Ministry Isn’t Plan B. Great points about a growing trend.
