A La Carte (October 8)

A La Carte Collection cover image

Joan or John? – Russell Moore takes on a difficult pastoral situation. Joan tells you that when she was 20 she began the process of “transitioning” from life as a man to life as a woman. She underwent extensive hormone therapy, followed by extensive plastic surgery—including so-called “gender reassignment surgery.” She’s lived for the past 30 years—physically and socially—as a woman.

Thinking Like a Non-Musician – I know I link to a lot of articles by Jamie Brown, but he just has a way of saying helpful things. Here he writes about the value of musicians trying to think like non-musicians.

Does God Have Regret? – Kevin DeYoung writes about God’s regrets.

Self-Control and the Power of Christ – I completely agree: “It is at the height of Christian virtue in a fallen world, and its exercise is quite simply one of the most difficult things you can ever learn to do.”

Beautiful Chemical Reactions – This is proof that the microscopic world can be every bit as beautiful as the world we are more accustomed to seeing.

One Thing I Want My Kids to Remember – I feel much the same.

Farley

Christians do not create truth. The Truth creates the Christian.

    I Regret to Inform You That Heaven Tourism Is Back

    I regret to inform you, dear reader, that heaven tourism is back. The genre possibly never went away entirely, but it did at least disappear from the bestseller lists for several years. Sadly, it has returned in Gabe Poirot’s 18 Days in Heaven.
