A La Carte (6/1)

Able to Teach – Here is help from Thabiti Anyabwile on what the Apostle Paul meant when he said that an elder or pastor must be “able to teach.”

Economics for Everybody – This looks like a fascinating new teaching series from R.C. Sproul Jr. It should be available this summer. “Everybody talks about it. The news is full of it.

Just Go Outside – I’m not sure what the organization is all about, but this commercial is pretty clever. It offers the cure for social media addiction.

20 Things – Here are twenty things that every counselor hears from the people he speaks with. Do you know how to answer these things?

    Nothing but a Passionate, Heartfelt Sin

    When we think of worship, our thoughts almost always gravitate to singing—the two have become inseparable and almost synonymous in our minds and in our church services.
