A La Carte (September 13)

A La Carte Friday 2

Good morning from central Austria. I am resting today and looking forward to speaking nearby on both Saturday and Sunday.

Westminster Books is having a sale on What Do I Say When…? which I reviewed a couple of weeks ago and highly recommend for parents.

Today’s Kindle deals include a recent biography on John Newton, a resource to help you better understand Catholicism, Al Mohler’s examination of the Apostle’s Creed, and more. You’ll find a few interesting general market deals as well.

Will God Forgive My Worst Sin?

Of all the questions John Piper receives, the most common seem to be related to grave and serious sins. Here he offers wisdom and comfort to someone who committed a terrible sin and now lives in fear and dread.

Seeing Dignity Instead of Misery Among the Poor

Amy Straub has an important article here. “I used to assume that life must be joyless for those without all the material comforts that were commonplace to me. When I considered people who had only the clothes on their backs and just enough food for each day, my first and strongest reaction was pity. I felt it often in our early years in Zambia, and that revealed a lot to me about my true priorities. When we equate poverty with misery, our core values are exposed.”

The Gospel – A Matter of Life and Death

Aging Graciously in an Anti-Aging Culture

Elizabeth Turnage offers some wisdom on aging graciously in an anti-aging culture.

How Edgy Are You?

“We can all probably name someone who has dabbled at the edge of addiction, immorality, lying or cheating which led to a crumbling foundation and ultimately an epic fall. And, as blind as we are to our own ways, sometimes we need to gauge ourselves to see if we are on the same path.”

What Trump Should Have Said to Kamala on Abortion

Tim explains why Trump should have said to Harris when she spoke about abortion at the recent debate.

Flashback: If Satan Wrote a Book on Parenting

If Satan wrote a book on parenting, he would want you to raise them in strict accordance with law rather than gospel, with strict rules rather than free grace.

Living “worthy of the gospel of Christ” is not a matter of techniques. It involves the development of Christian character. It’s about who and what we become in Christ.
