Guys Are Flaming Out – “According to psychologist Philip Zimbardo, young men in America are doomed–at least they are educationally, relationally, and sexually. As he says at the beginning of his recent TED Talks video, ‘The Demise of Guys,’ Guys are flaming out academically, they’re wiping out relationally with girls, and sexually with women. Other than that, there’s not much of a problem.”

The Leniency of the Lord – R.W. Glenn reflects on the leniency of the Lord.

The Pastoral “I Don’t Know” – There’s something very frustrating about people who have no ability to admit “I don’t know.” Jared Wilson explains why pastors need to be able to say this.

Contentment in Ministry – Here’s another excellent article on ministry. It looks at the importance of finding contentment in the right things. Non-pastors will benefit from reading it too!

Through the Eyes of Spurgeon – Here’s a Kickstarter campaign worth getting behind. “CHSpurgeonQuotes.com has compiled Charles Haddon Spurgeon’s best quotes arranged by subject + scripture into a must-have book.”

3-2-1 – Here’s an excellent video that simply explains the gospel.

—John Calvin

    Love Is the Interpreter

    There have been a few bands and musicians I did not particularly care for when I first heard their music. I came across them on a cassette or CD in the old days, or on YouTube or Apple Music in more recent days, and found that their music didn’t really resonate. I set them aside…
