A La Carte (12/4)

Schreiners Display Strong FaithBaptist Press has a story about the Schreiner family. “Tom Schreiner received news that his wife Diane was involved in a severe bicycle accident, leaving her unconscious with several broken bones and fractures and — of most urgent concern — bruising to her brain.”

God’s Presence – Bob Kauflin has begun a multi-part article on manufacturing, marketing and minimizing God’s presence. The first entry is well worth a read; I trust the follow-ups will as well.

Are We Playing God? – This long but interesting article at Matthias Media asks lots of questions of modern medical technology and our dedication to it. Modern medical technologies are raising many new ethical dilemmas.

Bringing Marriage Back to Earth – This article is well worth some reflection, I think. Writing for Tabletalk, Brian Tallman wonders if we’ve over-spiritualized marriage.

All of us would be wiser if we would resolve never to put people down, except on our prayer lists.

—D.A. Carson

    Don’t Be a Partial Christian

    The Bible is a canon, an authoritative collection of one author’s works. In this case, the author is God, and he has given us sixty-six books, each one unique and each one serving a distinct purpose. Each book was inspired by God’s Spirit to reveal God’s mind and unveil God’s plan.
