Defining Healthy Masculinity

This is a helpful article for understanding and guiding young men. “Modern culture paints masculinity in extremes. On one side, masculinity is toxic—something to be suppressed, softened, or erased. On the other, masculinity is brutal, aggressive, and dominant—something to be weaponized. The result? A generation of men is confused about what they’re supposed to be.”

The Women Who Disappeared

“Celebrities 10, 15, and even 20 years my senior still flash the same edgy fashion of their youth. In many cases their skin looks as taut as the young. I remember watching the teaser for a reunion show of a 90s sitcom, and I saw time etch itself into every male cast member’s face. Then the female star walked in, and I received the message loud and clear: Women dare not age past a certain threshold.”

The Holiness of God by R.C. Sproul

There is no one like our God. Encountering His holiness leaves us forever changed, bringing new awareness of our sin and need for His grace. R.C. Sproul’s classic book, The Holiness of God, invites readers deeper into the truth of Scripture, that we may marvel at the Lord’s greatness and the wonder of His salvation through Jesus Christ. You can request the 40-anniversary edition of this celebrated book today with your donation to Ligonier Ministries. (Sponsored)

Dear Older Women

Abigail reminds older women that younger women are eager for their attention and mentorship.

A Storm in the Desert

I’ve been enjoying the new “A Storm in the Desert” podcast from 9Marks which tells how the Lord began a great work in the Middle East. You can find it wherever you listen to your podcasts.

Perspicuity (A Poem)

Seth shares a cheeky poem about perspicuity.

When Leaders Fall: Are You Next?

This is a good question for all of us to consider: “How many more headlines will it take before we take our own vulnerabilities seriously?”

Flashback: Daddy, I Need You

Our God is most present just when he is most needed—ever ready and ever eager to offer his sweet comfort. His compassion—his wondrous fatherly compassion—draws him near to us when we so desperately need his help.

The right manner of growth is to grow less in one’s own eyes.

—Thomas Watson

    Is It Fair of God?

    It’s a question every Christian is asked to consider at one time or another: Is God fair to punish those who have never heard of Jesus Christ? There are many ways to consider the issue and many ways to answer.
