A La Carte (April 18)

Today’s Kindle deals include a couple of good books, including a book on Romans written by Tim Keller.

Investigating the Birth Control Pill

Reformed Perspectives magazine has an article investigating the birth control pill and whether it’s a legitimate option for believers.

The Wisdom of Sex

Also on the theme of sexuality, here are several biblical themes for protecting ourselves from sexual sin.

Giving People a Chance to Grow

This is very important. “As I think through my past, I’m thankful to the many who not only didn’t count me out, but came along side me, and it dawned on me how much it hurts when people make up their minds about me and don’t give me a chance, and it convicted me how often I do that with people in my life.”

Disability Makes a Church Strong

“But over the years, God has used my unique vantage point to show me that families with disabled children have too much to teach the church about the gospel to remain at the periphery, even if motivated by noble sentiment.

Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave it with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind.

—C.S. Lewis
