As always, you’ll find another list of interesting Kindle deals to sort through today. We are spoiled for choice!
I have omitted stories about Charlie Kirk from today’s A La Carte after creating an entire special edition of A La Carte about his death yesterday (which I have since updated). You can find it here: A La Carte: Charlie Kirk Special Edition.
Shared Custody Laws Are Changing Divorce Forever
Aaron Renn takes a really interesting look at the way shared custody laws are changing divorce. He describes the old regime in which a mother was almost always awarded primary tcustody of the children, then says “in this egalitarian world, where women have careers and men are spending more time with the kids, this old regime became increasingly unsustainable.”
Silencing Dissent, Affirming Delusion
Carl Trueman explains why it’s far too early to declare any kind of victory when it comes to transgenderism and new notions of gender and sexuality. “Despite the turning of the tide on the scientific (and to some extent the political) front, the situation with transgenderism is still ambiguous and remains a danger both to its victims—preventing them from obtaining proper care, rather than ‘affirmation,’ for their condition—and to basic freedoms such as that of speech.”
Reading as Rebellion
I think you’ll be interested in reading why Trevin Wax encourages Christians to read as an act of rebellion. “I want you to rebel. That’s right. In today’s world, reading is an act of holy insurgency. I want you to ignore the chatter of parents and professors who claim you’re no longer able or willing to exercise your mind through reading. I want you to swim upstream against the currents that make it easy to settle for superficiality.”
Is the Bible Pro Abortion? (Video)
Tim Barnett responds to a recent guest on Joe Rogan’s show who tried to lay out a biblical case for abortion.
Just Ask
Brandon wants you to know that it’s okay to ask a grieving person how they are doing with the loss of their loved one.
How Is God Unchanging? (Video)
I’m looking forward to this new series from RTS in which they explore big questions in a short format.
Flashback: When God Removes the Asterisks
The adulterer will no longer be an adulterer, the thief will no longer be a thief, the fool will no longer be a fool. Even after every failure on this earth, God will welcome us simply to enjoy us. What a day that will be.
God is our heavenly Father. He has adopted us by his grace. He will always love his true children. But if we are his true children we will also love to please him. It will be our delight to delight in him and know that he is delighting in us.
—Kevin DeYoung
