I’m really pleased to have been able to work with Logos to put together a Theology Bundle that will help you begin a solid theological library. It nicely complements the commentary bundles I’ve created in the past. The whole point in creating it was to have the bundle discounted, so be sure to give it a look. There’s an offer there for Get started with a free 60-day trial to Logos Pro and the Theology Bundle.
Be sure to check out Christ From Beginning to End, Broken Pieces and the God Who Mends Them, and some of today’s other Kindle deals.

Should Christians Practice Surrogacy?
This is quite a thorough article on moral and Scriptural concerns with surrogacy. “Whether planned or unplanned, children are a gift from the Lord.

However, modern medical technology confronts the church with weighty questions regarding the methods of procreation.”
Intentional Simplicity
I love this. “When we play music on Sunday, our goal is worship. And specifically, the worship of the whole church. This is not a time to scratch our artistic itch. It is a time to arrange the songs in a way that allows the congregation to sing with grace in their hearts to God. So we are trying to make simple arrangements. No big solos. No attention grabbing vocal riffs.”
