Kindle Deal: Know the Creeds and Councils by Justin Holcomb. $2.99.
Seven of the best articles I came across this week:
1. Andy Crouch – On “Thoughts and Prayers” After Another Mass Shooting. This article from Andy Crouch, written in 2015, is worth rereading this week.
2. Dante Stewart – Meet the Mother of Modern Missions. Rebecca Protten’s missionary efforts bridged different worlds. She lived a complicated and faithful life, forging a “distinctively international persona—obedient to a calling, yet adept at negotiating life’s possibilities, resourceful in any setting or language.”
3. John Hagen – Crisis Pregnancy Centers in Crisis. This extraordinary grassroots movement is increasingly becoming a target of abortion-rights activists.
4. Martin Luther – The Ninety-Five Theses. A beautiful, online presentation of the protest that changed the world. Worth reading again, 500 years later.
5. Casey Chalek – Poldark Celebrates Hard Work, Fidelity, Common Law, and Community. These are the reasons my wife and I enjoy this show.
6. Ashley Gorman – 6 Ways to Steward Your Screen Time. Practical helps and apps you may not be aware of.
7. Bob Smietana – 1 in 3 Protestant Churchgoers Personally Affected by Suicide. Fascinating statistics here and a big discrepancy in church leadership and church members.
