God and the Gay Christian – Christopher Yuan on God and the Gay Christian: “Matthew Vines rehashes older gay-friendly arguments for a modern audience. But those arguments still don’t square with Scripture.”

Balancing Family and Ministry – Heath Lambert has some good thoughts on balancing family and ministry. While it’s targetted at pastors, it will be useful for everyone.

One for Your Kids – David Murray wrote a blog post for your kids.

War Gear Flows to Police Departments – Am I the only one who finds this a little bit concerning?

Father’s House or Business? – Bill Mounce writes about another Greek to English conundrum. I’m glad there are smart guys who figure out this stuff for us.
