A Christian Man’s Travel Plan – As someone who travels quite frequently, I enjoyed reading Garrett Kell’s “Christian Man’s Travel Plan.”

Why Christians Should read Fiction – Russell Moore explains why Christians will benefit from enjoying at least some fiction.

Histories of the American South – I’ve really been enjoying Thabiti Anyabwile’s series of posts interacting with Douglas Wilson’s book Black and Tan. This one has some very good thoughts about the book’s strengths and very troubling weaknesses.

Marriage in the Dock – Dr. Mohler: “The next two days are destined to stand as among the most significant days in our nation’s constitutional history, but the issues at stake reach far beyond the U.S. Constitution. Nothing less than marriage is in the dock, with the nation’s highest court set to consider two cases that deal with the question of the legalization of same-sex marriage.”

He taught a combined 25 years at Wheaton College and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, and stirred up his share of controversy.”

It is only an infinite God, and an infinite good, that can fill and satisfy the precious and immortal soul of man.

—Thomas Brooks

    Not a Hindrance But a Prerequisite

    Many Christians feel they are too unholy or too sinful to participate in the Lord’s Supper. They come to the table downcast, convinced that their sin makes them unworthy. They may refuse to participate at all.
