The Message of Jesus Is Jesus: How ‘God and Country’ Misses the Point
Trevin Wax: “The Christian message isn’t ‘do unto others.’ The Christian message is Christ. The central teaching of Jesus isn’t ‘love your neighbor.’ The central teaching of Jesus is about Jesus. The essence of Christianity isn’t showing compassion to your critics or loving your enemies. The essence of Christianity is Jesus Christ, and the center of his message is the kingdom of God he inaugurated as the Son of God, the Messiah of Israel, and the King of the world.”

An Insubstantial Book for a Weighty Problem
I always appreciate a thoughtful engagement with a book and that’s what Matthew Loftus offers in his review of a new title from Abigail Shrier. “Shrier’s most important argument regards iatrogenesis, the concept that a therapeutic intervention can cause unintended harm. Sometimes that harm outweighs the benefit that the intervention was meant to bring about.” Yet there is much to critique as well.

Flashback: Living Selflessly with Your Wife
I have often pondered one of the strange paradoxes of the married life—that the person I love the most is the person I will sin against the most.
That’s the scandal of grace. It means that if you’ve been working hard to be right with God, then you’ve been wasting your time because God welcomes everyone – righteous and unrighteous alike.
—Tim Chester
