But What About Gluttony? – Kevin DeYoung: “Why do conservative Christians make such a fuss about homosexuality and give everyone a free pass—most notably themselves—when it comes to gluttony? That’s a question you hear a lot of us these days and one you should expect to hear again and again, posed in a hundred different ways, in the years ahead.”

Owen’s Classics – Westminster Books has two John Owen classics on sale. I can’t think of too many books that have had a bigger and longer-lasting impact on me than Overcoming Sin & Temptation.

Liberating Our Teens – “Our teens need to have a biblical understanding of sex in order to navigate the challenges that await them in college…”

Jesus Is Better Than Porn – In a short video, Jimmy Needham talks about his battle against addiction and the truth that saved his life.

A Spiritual Family Tree – Jason Helopoulos: “What does your family tree look like? I am not so concerned about your biological family tree. Frankly, that is of very little interest to me. I’m interested in your spiritual family tree.”

    How Men Can Use Their Authority Well

    There are few topics that have proven trickier to navigate than the topic of authority. We know we need authority to function as families, churches, and nations, yet there is something deep within our sinful humanity that causes us to rebel against it wherever it exists. We both want it and despise it.

  • The Most Neglected Element of Worship

    The Most Neglected Element of Worship

    There are some elements of public worship that receive a great deal of attention. These elements are taught, practiced, rehearsed, and perfected until they are as good as they can be.
