Listen Like a Man – The folks at Grace to You respond to some criticism of John MacArthur’s approach in his letters to the Young, Restless, Reformed.

A Trying Month – My friend Trevin Wax writes about what has been a trying month in the life of his family. Pray for this family!

Vacation Stress Levels – This rings true.
