The Economics of Sex – I guarantee this is one of the most interesting things you will encounter all day.

Get the Bigger Pizza – I guess we can file this under “stewardship.” “The math of why bigger pizzas are such a good deal is simple: A pizza is a circle, and the area of a circle increases with the square of the radius. So, for example, a 16-inch pizza is actually four times as big as an 8-inch pizza.”

You Want to #EndIt? – Lore Ferguson: I’m glad to see respected voices of men and women publicly denouncing human trafficking. … You have to act. And acting on this stuff is not as hard as we make it seem—or as easy as marking a red X on your hand or buying a tshirt or retweeting a tweet. There are actual things you can do in your home and life to end slavery in our lifetime.”

Avoid Every Appearance of Evil – “Avoid every appearance of evil. It’s 1 Thes 5.22 and it puts a damper on everything. Wait a minute. Does it really mean this? Does it really mean that even if something looks like it’s evil to some, we can’t enjoy it? Hardly.”

Pursuing Your Wife – Here is an article for the husbands (or future husbands) to consider.

The “Well, maybe…” of Redemption – This is a great little overview of the Old Testament and, really, an overview of man’s attempts to live without a Savior.

    It is surprisingly difficult to find a list of Christian books that have been released in any given month—especially if you want that list to be filtered by books released through particular publishers. That’s one of the reasons why I close each month by coming up with my list of New and Notable books. I…

    Optimistic Denominationalism

    It is one of the realities of the Christian faith that people love to criticize—the reality that there are a host of different denominations and a multitude of different expressions of Christian worship.
