Screen Sabbaths: A Modest Proposal for a Digital World
This is a Must Read article for Christians, Christian parents, and, well, everyone.
“Which means, if Christians are going to heed the summons of Romans 12:2 in a smartphone age — “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind” — we will need to do more than resist the false content on our phones. We will need to resist the false gravitational presence our phones so subtly exert upon us.”
Al Mohler’s The Briefing from Wednesday, November 23rd
The Annual Thanksgiving Edition of The Briefing is amazing, especially the first 8 or so minutes about turkeys. It’s a great one to listen to.
Do Unbelievers Get a Second Chance After Death?
This is an excellent article on some difficult texts of Scripture. I highly recommend it to all. You can, of course, listen to it as well.
What Is Distince Abou the Theology of Luke
“The four narratives present Jesus as true Israel and the divine Son of God who lived a faithful life, died for sins of his people, and rose from the dead, but each evangelist retells this story a bit differently. By tracing these differences, then, we can arrive at a distinct (yet complementary!) theology of each Gospel. The aim of this short essay is to summarize two unique layers of Luke’s narrative about the one gospel.”
Let The Nations Be Glad – Thirty Years Later
This book by John Piper holds a special place in my heart. It was roughly sixteen years ago, possibly event his month, that my now-wife and I began reading through this book together, over the phone (Vonage internet phone) while she served as a missionary in Peru and I was…well, getting my life back together. Glory to God!
The Parable of David French
“One of the most perplexing marks of our time is the defection of so many “conservatives” from the cause of conserving what Russell Kirk called “the permanent things.” If marriage is not conserved—if civil marriage is not conserved as a man-woman union—then nothing genuinely conservative can last, at least for long. Support for the Respect for Marriage Act is bad enough. The way David French frames his argument is worse. This is how conservatism dies, and this is how marriage is surrendered.”
This is a great article to read alongside Al Mohler’s The Briefing from November 22nd.
