(Yesterday on the blog: Disrupted Journey)

The Maturation of New Calvinism

This is an interesting article from Aaron Renn who considers the maturation of the New Calvinism. “New Calvinism has shifted from an ‘All-Star team’ model designed to exert influence over the broader evangelical world to a post-superstar model that primarily serves its own community. This represents the maturity of the movement, perhaps putting it on a sustainable footing for the future.”

The Class Divide Over Screen Time

Alan Noble considers how the class divide today is not over who owns the technology but how much time they give to it. “What we discover is, that the divide which opens up with technology between the classes is not between who has technology and who doesn’t, but who moderates their use of technology and who doesn’t.”

As for Me and My House (Video)

Here’s a new song from the Gettys and Cochren & Co. The Gettys have just released a new live album recorded during the recent Sing! conference, and this is one of the tracks. You can find the new album wherever you listen to your music.

“That’s Just Your Interpretation”

“This is a common response when discussing Scripture, isn’t it? ‘That’s just your interpretation!’ No matter how clearly the Bible speaks, this objection seems to persist. But is it true? Can we really understand the Bible? This question takes us to the heart of the Christian faith and invites us into a discussion about the clarity and authority of God’s Word.”

Getting Organized for the Glory of God

I really appreciate what Justin says here about the importance of organization. “There must be a purposeful plan, a careful stewardship of the time and energy and money and people that God has placed in your life in order to accomplish the crucial purposes for which God has entrusted them to you.”

Keep Calm and Read Scripture

This is a valuable warning that when everything seems crazy and uncertain, we ought to keep calm and carry on.

Flashback: Showing Mercy in A Feeding Frenzy

God asks us to do no more than he has already done—to extend mercy to those who are in desperate need.

Ironically, it is only when we know how to die properly that we finally have some inkling about how to truly live here and now.

    Disrupted Journey

    I am convinced it is appropriate to acknowledge those who bear with chronic pain and illness and that it is especially fitting to give special honor to do those who do so with a deep sense of submission to God’s mysterious purposes in their suffering. But if that’s true, I believe it is also appropriate…

    Nick Would Be 25 Years Old Today

    I don’t why we place more emphasis on some birthdays than others. Why is 16 more significant than 17? Why are multiples of 5 more significant than multiples of 4 or 6? I don’t who decides these things or on what basis, but I suppose 25 is significant because it marks a quarter of a…
