I am probably not the only one succumbing to necessity and beginning to search YouTube for “how to cut your own hair.” The government has warned it could be a long time before non-essential businesses like barbers are allowed to open again…
Today’s Kindle deals include some really good options, including D.A. Carson’s The Enduring Authority of the Christian Scriptures, a massive book that is usually very expensive.

Fighting the Temptations of Successful Leadership
Any leader is prone to the temptations that come with success. “Other battles in life might grow easier, and other realities of age let you slow down. But not the fight for humility.

Where Is The Covid-19 MasterClass?
Like Anne Kennedy, I’ve been getting MasterClass advertisements constantly sent my way. “It’s an interesting mashup—on one hand, a proliferation of Masterclass offerings (which I will get to in just a moment) and also several memes in other places about how one of the worst parts of about the covid-19 war is that no one wants to trust coronavirus experts. What do they know? Are they even on Instagram or anything?”
Flashback: If I Wrote the Bible…
Looking at the Bible God has given us, and considering how I would write my own, makes something clear: No human would ever write the Bible. Not this Bible.
