A La Carte (July 14)

A La Carte Collection cover image

Does He Need to Confess Adultery? – I appreciate Russell Moore’s answer to this difficult question: Does a man who had a brief affair several years ago need to confess it to his wife?

Cheap at Sea, Pricey on the Plate – Most weekends I enjoy reading a few longform articles. This one from The Globe and Mail was quite interesting as it simply follows a lobster from the sea (where it’s cheap) to the plate (where it’s expensive).

Arminianism FAQ – Roger Olson is probably the foremost champion of Arminianism today. He has put together a helpful FAQ that answers common questions about Arminianism. Start at that link and navigate to parts 2 and following. (I remain a Calvinist, but am glad to have firm answers to these questions.)

Open Letter to Gospel-Centered Preachers – Nick has an open letter to gospel-centered preachers. What he says is worth considering.

The Wonder of the Word – Matt Boswell considers the wonder of the Word in corporate worship.

Working Out Before Work – Here, from QZ, is a complete guide to working out before work.

Spurgeon

Little learning and much pride come of hasty reading.

    Everything I Might Have Been

    The world can feel unfair when we ponder all we might have been. But God sovereignly places each of us exactly where we can best serve and honor him.
