Weekend A La Carte (May 23)

Here is an important word about Introverts in the Dearest Place on Earth. “Both extroverts and introverts must do the work to see that those with the gift of introversion are a grace to God’s Church. In this sense, I have some considerations for my fellow introverted church members and the extroverts who love them.”

Jonathan Leeman adds an important entry to the ongoing discussion of Can Women Teach Under the Authority of Elders?

Is This What Love Looks Like? I would say it is. “My husband and I have been married nearly 20 years, and because we live in a city (and attend a church) teeming with young, professional singles, we’re often asked about marriage. There are things I wish to tell those eager for advice.”

This is a sad but still helpful article about life in the P.I.C.U. “It is the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, but they call it ‘Pick-You.’ And you wonder over and over why you’ve been picked.”

I appreciate what Jake Meador says about Evangelicals and the Search for Credibility.

This little video goes a long to to debunking the myths of OCD. Of course I’d prefer it if the video also explored the spiritual angle of OCD…

Thank you to RPTS for sponsoring the blog this week with the article The Importance of Counseling Training in Pastoral Ministry.

We must be global Christians, with a global mission, because our God is a global God.

—John Stott

    I Regret to Inform You That Heaven Tourism Is Back

    I regret to inform you, dear reader, that heaven tourism is back. The genre possibly never went away entirely, but it did at least disappear from the bestseller lists for several years. Sadly, it has returned in Gabe Poirot’s 18 Days in Heaven.
