A La Carte (April 11)

monday

Good morning! Grace and peace to you.

(Yesterday on the blog: To Plumb Depths that Have No Bottom)

Does Romans 7 Describe a Christian?

Freedom not to speak

Janie Cheaney recounts a well-known tale from Acts, then says “The hysteria of crowds hasn’t changed much. I’m reminded of the Ephesian dustup after every widely reported campus disruption, like the one at Yale Law School on March 10.”

My Journey with Jesus

Kevin DeYoung looks to the past and says, “The dream was not a Christian takeover of government, but a nation founded on God-given freedom, shaped by Christian values, and filled with Christian teaching.”

Flashback: I Wish I Was Rich

Rather than spending your days dreaming about what you would do if you had more, spend your days working hard to make a living and then give with joyful generosity.
