I’m thankful to Lifeway for sponsoring the blog this week. They want to be sure you know about the Christian Standard Commentary which is a modern commentary steeped in ancient tradition.
Today’s Kindle deals include some newer books (like Urban Legends of Church History) along with some classics.

The Digital Allure of Being Attended To
Alan Noble has “been wrestling with the implications of people turning to AI Chatbots for friendship or, even more distressingly, romantic relationships, and what that means about our social fabric.

I really like this new song from Getty Music about God making all things right.
To the Parents of the Wild Ones
Melissa has an article for the parents of wild ones. “I find myself once again in the realm of the toddler, after so many years in the Promised Land of kids who can bathe themselves and put on their own pants.

Fire and Memories
Lisa LaGeorge: “Yesterday, the Hughes Fire in Santa Clarita kicked up from a brush fire to 10,000 acres in just a few hours. Some of our staff were evacuated from their homes, others received on a warning notice. The winds are high, and the flames and smoke plums seem apocalyptic. Like many of my fellow Angelenos, I have a stack of important papers and hard drives sitting next to the door, just in case. On top of that pile sits a plastic airplane, a 2-inch scrap from my childhood.”
Parenting and Pornography
The team behind the documentary Into the Light is back with two helpful new resources: Parenting and Pornography and TechSafe. Both are free to watch!
Flashback: A Message for Young Men
From the day he welcomed his precious little daughter into the world, he knew that he would at some point entrust her to another man. And so he began to pray.
Unity which is obtained by the sacrifice of truth is worth nothing. It is not the unity which pleases God.
—J.C. Ryle
