Jeremy Walker writes about Gospel Ripples and the importance of preaching and hearing the gospel again and again.

Denny Burk looks at what the Bible says about spanking. Is it a legitimate form of punishment? Under what circumstances?

Scotland is facing a critically important vote next week. Here’s one person’s take on The Scottish Referendum – How Should We Pray?. Whatever else the referendum does or decides, it will make a huge difference in the lives of many Christians, which gives us all the reason we need to pray.

I enjoyed reading this “Watch Guy’s” balanced take on the new Apple Watch.

Michael Bird’s Biblica Hipsteria is a pretty good and pretty funny parody of the Bibliotheca project.

I Wandered, then Motherhood is a sweet blog by Melissa Edgington. I especially like this: “Motherhood is long. It is so short that it hurts.” I feel the same about fatherhood.

Flavel

Christ is so in love with holiness, that at the price of his blood he will buy it for us.

—John Flavel
