Kindle Deal: The Mission of God Study Bible edited by Ed Stetzer and Philip Nation. $2.99.
Seven of the best articles I came across this week:
1. Rich Clark – The Local Church is More Awkward Than Your Facebook Wall. A needed reminder of the beauty and necessity of the local church!
2. What happened last week at Middlebury College is an ominous sign for our culture. Read Charles Murray’s account of the events, and then this article – Our Middlebury Moment – regarding what it might represent.
3. Geoffrey Reiter – Virtue with a Twist: Victoria‘s Edgy Morality. Corina and I enjoyed this show, and this is a large reason why.
4. David Raether – What It’s Like to Fail. The story of a writer for Roseanne Barr’s sitcom, who wound up homeless.
5. Michelle Derusha – 5 Women Every Christian Should Know. From Katharina Luther, who escaped a convent and became a radical reformer, to Amanda Berry Smith, an itinerant minister who was born a slave, these women changed history.
6. Susannah George – Rubble and ash in Mosul museum retaken from the Islamic State. The evil destruction of history and culture, before our eyes.
7. D. A. Carson on American Politics and the Benedict Option. Wisdom from Carson in connecting the Benedict Option to the local church. I have a review of this book coming soon.
