Westminster Books has many different varieties of ESV Scripture Journals on sale this week in case that’s of interest.
Today’s Kindle deals include an excellent systematic theology along with some commentaries and books related to specific issues.
IVF Is Not Pro-Family
As Jonathan Van Maren explains, IVF is not pro-family as some are claiming. “Families are not ‘made great again’ by having unborn children created in labs, graded, discarded, or stored in freezers, and we must make this case both persuasively and emphatically.”
Don’t Talk About Yourself Like You’re a Machine
Trevin Wax explains why we need to be careful with the words we use to describe ourselves. If we talk about ourselves like we are machines we may begin to understand ourselves accordingly.
You Probably Won’t Get a Book Deal. We Still Need You to Write.
“It’s difficult to be published. Unless you have a large following, or catch a break, you may face an uphill battle in getting your book published. And yet, I would argue, it’s still important for you to write for at least a couple of reasons.”
A Shard, Sharpener, and Sin
Rachel draws a lesson from a grade school pencil sharpener. “Holding that little itty-bitty piece in my hand struck me with its resemblance to sin.”
Wandering: When You Are Plagued by the Unresolved
Karen Corcoran: “Wilderness and wandering go together for the sake of our hearts. What might God see about the wilderness journey as good for our hearts? When life’s direction seemingly feels harder than it should, I grow increasingly aware of how unsettled I feel. It feels like wandering an aimless trek, full of uncertainties. Unresolved things are, by nature, not settled or solved.”
Defining ‘Nation’: Peoples, Not Mere Propositions
It is important to define “nation” because God calls us to go to the nations and make disciples within them!
Flashback: Only the Christian Faith Begins At the Top
Just as a tower is straight only to the degree to which it matches the builder’s perfect line, our lives are right only to the degree to which they match God’s perfect law.
If we aren’t deliberate in developing our children’s understanding of God, then it will be developed by someone else.
—Sam Luce & Hunter Williams
