A La Carte (1/3)

Real Marriage – Denny Burk has just published an excellent (and lengthy) review of Real Marriage. He goes into more detail than I did in both specific praises and criticisms. His pastoral concerns are particularly worth noting, I think.

Prompted by His Word – Josh Harris has a great little quote from Calvin.

Sexual Confusion and the Gospel – In a few weeks I will be speaking at a conference in Indiana. The conference title is “Sexual Confusion and the Gospel.” If you’re in the area, I’d love to see you there!
