A La Carte (11/22)

Parenting and the Image of God – Mark Lauterbach on parenting: “They are image bearers. They are creatures, made by God and for God. They are given glory and honor by God. They have inherent value, of greater worth than animals. How we treat the image of God is how we treat God. The dignity of humans is built into the Law and the Prophets and the Gospel.

Leading Family Devos – I guess the title pretty much says it all: “How My Wife Helped Me Man-up & Lead Family Devo’s.”

No sin makes less noise, but none so surely damns the soul, as unbelief.

—J.C. Ryle
