The Weekly Nerd – March 8th, 2021

Welcome to this week!

Monday’s Top Read:

The Sin of Doing Nothing
“Sin, as classically understood, is not just the doing of bad (commission) but also the failure of doing good (omission). I tend to care more about the first than the second. In a culture still sailing under the semblance of a theistic morality, we tend to judge ourselves by what we do instead of what we leave undone. But wars are not won on defense alone.”

What Biblical Questions Can I Answer With, ‘I Don’t Know’ ?
Being comfortable with answering a question with “I don’t know” is an important skill, I believe, in any line of work, not just Biblically speaking. However, for the believer, I think that this is a great listen because now knowing the answer is a question of “when?” not “if”.

Whatever Happened to “Surrendering to Ministry”?
It was actually reading an article put out by FTC or maybe Dr. Allen of MBTS that convicted me to, when giving an invitation at the end of the sermon, call those to surrender to the ministry. I believe that it is an important call to make.
“Every faithful ministry begins with a surrendered life, and that submissiveness shapes every aspect of one’s ministry, including why, where, and what one preaches.“

The Dangers of Doomscrolling
Ok, so yea, “doomscrolling” is a real thing.
“An article at Merriam-Webster’s “Words We’re Watching” describes doomscrolling as “the tendency to continue to surf or scroll through bad news, even though that news is saddening, disheartening, or depressing.””

This World Is Passing Away
Just read this. This is some great reading!

Love Your Enemies
“Perhaps at the cost of sacrificial love we settle for a sort of pseudo-love – a love that never lives up to its confession. If I say I love my enemy but grow bitter with every thought of them, have no charitable feeling toward them, and no sincere desire for their well-being, I simply do not love them. I have qualified the term lovebeyond recognition. I have sanctified my bitterness and developed a pseudo-love theology to justify it.”
