A La Carte (May 14)

How Many Children Should I Have? – I know this is a big topic and one for which some people have very strong convictions, but I quite like David Murray’s handling of it.

The Secret Things of the Lord – “What is the will of God for my life? In this excerpt from his Foundations teaching series, R.C. Sproul distinguishes between the decretive and the preceptive wills of God.” These are important distinctions.

Books for Grads – Westminster Books has some excellent books for grads on sale.

Seven Reasons Why Christians Doubt – “I want to briefly give you some of the more ‘mundane’ causes of why we, as Christians, might experience doubt, whether it be doubt in the existence of God, doubt in his love for us, or doubt in our salvation.”

Ornaments of the Soul – Though I’m not the target audience, I enjoyed this article from Jen Thorn.

The Debate – Kevin DeYoung will get you caught up on an interesting discussion of the connection of law and gospel.

Townsend

The greatest missionary is the Bible in the mother tongue. It needs no furlough and is never considered a foreigner.

    Prime Day Deals for Christians

    Amazon’s annual Prime Day deals are here, and for those of us who use Amazon anyway, it’s a time to get some deals. You’ll find items on sale across all categories. Of course, my interest is in books and, thankfully, there are lots of great deals to be had (in printed, not Kindle editions).
