What Does 2 John Have to Teach Us about Partnering with False Teachers?

“It’s quite common for ostensibly evangelical pastors, teachers, and authors to share ministry platforms with those who preach a gospel other than that which was “once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 3). Many evangelicals find this pattern of association to be dangerous, damaging, and confusing. They argue that it’s not only unwise to share public ministry platforms with false teachers, but that it is in fact sin. Are these critics correct, or are they overreacting? Thankfully, we don’t have to try and use our own wisdom to try and untie this knot. Scripture speaks plainly and clearly on the matter.”

The Truth about Ancestral Worship

You can read, watch, or listen to this rather interesting discussion on African ancestral worship from TGC Africa.

Humans are hardwired for awe. Whether it’s the Grand Canyon, a beautiful work of art, or the birth of a baby, we love to be amazed. But there’s something—or Someone, rather—who surpasses all others: God himself. Helping us kindle an ever-growing passion for God’s glory, Awe: Why It Matters for Everything We Think, Say, and Do, by Paul David Tripp reminds us of the role awe plays in shaping everything we choose, decide, think, desire, say, and do. Reflecting on how awe for God impacts our approach to spiritual warfare, ministry, material things, and more, Tripp will energize your love for God by opening your eyes afresh to the glory of his love, grace, and power.

Enneagram Rhapsody (Video)

This is pretty silly, but they at least did it well! (Also, I don’t at all care for the enneagram, so save your hate mail!)

Every Movie Cliché We Have About Teenage Dating Is Basically Wrong

This article has some interesting things to say about how teenage dating is not how the movies make it. “Kids who don’t date in high school are less depressed, more together and generally more set up for success than the popular kids in every respect. So how did we get it all backwards for so long?”

Joe Carter provides 9 things you should know about global poverty.

God Is on His Throne, Everything Is Going His Way, and He Loves Me

“I had a friend who used to answer a common question in an uncommon way. He has since moved to another city, but his response has never left me. For a long time, when I would ask how he was, he gave a three-fold response…”

Flashback: What the Bible Says About Anger

I suppose it should come as no surprise that the Bible has a great deal to say about anger. Anger is, after all, not only a result of sin but also a common cause of sin.

Our ultimate goal is not to help people feel better. We have a much more important goal: to help them be better.

    How Donald Trump Upended Canadian Politics and Helped the Liberals Win

    On April 28, Canadians elected the Liberal Party of Canada to a fourth consecutive term.

    When God Plants an Acorn, He Means an Oak

    We stood together on the crest of a hill, a gentle breeze rustling the meadow around our feet. The fields ran gently downward until they met a creek that gurgled happily in its course. A few years prior, an acorn had somehow made its way to the highest point of this hill, carelessly dropped there…
