A La Carte Collection cover image

Kindle – Did you know you don’t need a Kindle device to read Kindle books? You can do it on your computer as well. Check it out right here.

PCUSA Redefines Marriage – This comes as no great surprise, of course. But it is still newsworthy.

She Had It All, and Lost It – “This incredibly beautiful, yet scarred woman was a bright ray of sunshine in that hospital bed. She could have been bitter… But every single day, Katherine and her husband Jay are pointing others to the Lord… Katherine is a living example that God’s grace really can be sufficient even when you’ve lost a great deal.”

Driving Away the Homeless – Here’s an interesting article about the ways cities drive away homeless people (and skateboarders, for that).

Reading Time – How much time do young people spend reading? Not very much according to this study.

What Is Hell? – R.C. Sproul answers.

  • Weekend A La Carte (July 18)

    This weekend’s collection of long-form and think-pieces covers declining fertility rates, the Boy Scouts, The Odyssey, AI and the elderly, and Gen Z, plus reader recommendations.

  • A Solid Defense of a Very Defensible Position

    Some issues in the church seem to arise once, but then get permanently put to rest. Others, though, seem to arise time and time again, often in slightly different forms. Gender roles are squarely in the latter category.

    Setting a financial finish line / A manifesto on generative AI writing / What the Bible teaches about karma / Dang it, social media / D.L. Moody’s commitment to God / Playing to not lose / Book reviews / Sales and deals / and more.

  • A La Carte (July 16)

    Gen-Z revival / Devotional material that hinders spiritual growth? / Does the day end in night / When you cannot sing, let the church sing for you / Three prayers for prodigal children / The ordinary and enduring gifts of the Spirit / and more.

  • Harder to Change

    I’m Finding It Harder to Change
