My thoughts on the current/recent state of discipleship
Today’s Top Read:
The Need for the Creed
I stronly feel that the Southern Baptist Convention could do well having a creed as part of their statement of faith. The Nicene Creed would serve Southern Baptist well. This is a great article and something that I wish many would get behind for the sake of the church.
What are the “all things” I can do in Christ?
This is an incredible read about one of the most twisted and misused verses in all of Scripture.
When Victimhood Goes Too Far
While it’s not the article title, it’s an apt description of the read. I really think that people need to give playing victim a break. It’s quite sad when you play victim when there was really nothing wrong done in the first place that could have created a victim.
Don’t Settle for Status Quo in Preaching
“The difficulties of seeking to extend Christ’s mission in a yet fallen world with yet corruptible churches bludgeon us into deciding it’s safer to settle for the status quo. Fatigue, fear, and even temptations to doubt the message we are preaching can cut the nerve on the zeal we used to have for preaching as we surrender our vision of God effecting his gracious purposes in people’s lives through our stewardship of his word.”
A Readers Guide to the Lord of the Rings
This is just a great read for any fans of LotR.
