A La Carte (March 4)

wednesday

I don’t know about you, but I think the Babylon Bee has been on point lately with hilarious headlines like In Major Gaffe, Bernie Sanders Forgets Words To Communist Manifesto and Christians Finally Vindicated As Sidehugs Found To Protect Against Coronavirus. My life’s better when it includes a little satire.

Logos users, get in on this year’s Logos March Madness and get us some discounted books.

It’s not a huge list of Kindle deals today, but the ones that are there range far and wide.

Turning Up the Volume: Joyful Noise or Noise Ordinance Violation?

Last week I was speaking to a pastor from another country where he and his congregation have to be discreet in their worship and sing quietly to avoid prosecution and/or persecution.

Flashback: It’s Not Just Sabbatarians Who Need Sabbath

We are weak and limited. Sabbath reminds us that we cannot do it all, and that we do not have to do it all. As we acknowledge our weakness, we learn to lean upon God’s strength.
