We’re moving, so there’s very little annotation to my list today, but here are some interesting articles that I read this week. Maybe you’ll find one that interests you too:
1. “Philadelphia Abortion Clinic Horror” by Kirsten Powers
Thankful that at least one major media news source is picking up this horrific story!
2. “8 Reasons for the Media Blackout on Kermit Gosnell” by Trevin Wax
Wax gives his take on why there’s been so little major media coverage of the Gosnell case.
3. “The New Canon: The 21 Books from the 21st Century Every Man Should Read” by GQ
There’s a lot of good books on this list, particularly Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, and from what I’ve heard Marilynne Robinson’s Gliead is excellent as well.
4. “Why Shouldn’t We Tell People ‘Be Anything You Want To Be’” by Conrad Tolosa
Another insightful commentary by my friend Conrad.
5. “How to Spot a Legalist” by Greg Stier
In light of my farewell sermon this last weekend, I thought this a timely piece.
6. “How To Engage in Spiritual Warfare” by David Mathis
Desiring God has a very interesting interview with Tope Koleoso on spiritual warfare. Check out the short video.
7. “My Take: How Churches Can Respond to Mental Illness” by Ed Stetzer
I appreciated Ed Stetzer’s take on this subject, particularly his points that Churches should “stop hiding mental illness” and they should “end the shame” associated with it.
8. “The Nature of Christian History – Revisited” by Nathan Finn
In light of my recent posts on inerrancy and history I found this discussion interesting. Nathan Finn, an actual historian, posted an introduction to an ongoing debate among Christian historians.
9. “The Trinity and The Christian Life” by Credo Magazine
The new issue of Credo Magazine looks great! I can’t wait to sink my teeth into it.\
10. “The Well Can’t Run Dry” by Petar Nenadov
A wonderful interview with one of my favorite musicians: Andrew Peterson.
11. “Detroit Students Restore Peace By Talking It Out” by Charles Honey
An interesting practice of conflict resolution at a particular Detroit charter school caught my attention largely because this is the area of the world I am moving to. But there’s a bigger story behind this school’s practices: the desire to be a restorative city!
