A Tale of Two Mars Hills – Eric Geiger writes about the rise and waning of two Mars Hill Churches and their pastors.

A Gospeled Church – Jared Wilson at his best: “You cannot grow in holiness and holier-than-thou-ness at the same time. So a church that makes its main thing the gospel, and when faced with sin in its ranks doesn’t simply crack the whip of the law but says ‘remember the gospel,’ should gradually be seeing grace coming to bear.”

Redemption of a Modern-Day Psalmist – The Gospel Coalition is hosting “Sing Over Me,” a documentary about Dennis Jernigan and his struggles with same-sex attraction.

The Marriage Bed for the Exhausted Wife – Nikki Daniel speaks to a common and difficult issue within marriage.

    Amplify Not a Fool by Responding to His Folly 

    Where you think your wisdom may make the fool better, it’s more likely that his folly will make you worse. You are more likely to stoop to his level than he is to rise to yours. Ironically, fools can be clever at times and wise men naive, for the fool has an intuitive understanding of…
