Congratulations: Congratulations to Thabiti Anyabwile and family on the birth of Titus Ezekiel. “He is my son. Having been a son for 30 years, I now know I’ve taken for granted what I meant to my father. I didn’t realize the sense of pride that welled in his heart when he called me ‘son,’ as he often did.”

Audio: Justin has details of some good deals on Christian audio recordings (including a free recording of “The Pilgrim’s Progress”).

Humor: From YouTube comes an important message for women.

Traditionally, Presbyterians would be taught The Shorter Catechism, Dutch Reformed believers The Heidelberg Catechism, and Baptists one of the Baptist equivalents.

Are We Post Woke?

It is too early to tell, I think, whether the “wokeness” craze has already peaked and even begun to slip into decline, or whether it’s just pausing to gather energy for another surge. What seems clear for the moment, though, is that it has lost at least some of its initial momentum, probably because it…
