A La Carte (May 26)

One Anothers – Ray Ortlund has a list of “one another” commands he can’t find in the New Testament. They include Sanctify one another, humble one another, scrutinize one another, pressure one another, embarrass one another and a whole lot more.

How YouTube and Internet Journalism Destroyed Tom Cruise – It’s an odd subject, I admit. But it’s a fascinating article about how we can ignore wider context and focus on the sound bite.

Whetting Your Appetite for the Word – “Recently, my wife and I had the joy of bringing our second son, Nathan, into the world. Newborns cry (for those of you who are not parents yet). Nathan cries amazingly loud when he’s hungry. He desires, with unfettered passion, to be fed every 2-3 hours. God reminds us in 1 Peter 2:2 that we are to desire his Word as babies desire to be fed.”

    A Front Door and a Family Meal

    Baptism is a kind of front door to the local church, the God-ordained means through which a person identifies with Jesus Christ and formally comes to belong to Christ’s body, the church. Baptism is the church’s sign that this person is one of us, a brother or sister in the Lord, who has now been…
