Kids, Meet World – “Fear is probably the most commonly used parenting model among Christians. While it is wrongheaded, I certainly understand why parents fret over their children. I have children and I don’t want them to rebel against God or reject Him in any way. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that I think daily about the faith/fear tension in my heart when it comes to parenting my kids.”

Church in a Tech Society – This is a thought-provoking article: “Whatever our reasons for using technology, we must make a deal. We must sign a contract with technology. Technology wants efficiency, and if we agree to its terms, we can use it for whatever goals we have. But technology’s methods alter our own practices and in the process often transform our goals.”

Forever – Westminster Books has a great sale on the new book by Paul David Tripp. They’ve got a few other items on sale as well. Meanwhile, CVBBS is also having a site-wide sale.

Who Pays for Your Spouse’s Sin? – I believe I may have linked to this article in the past, but I find it well worth another read. Even the title is worth pondering. Who pays for your spouse’s sin? Your spouse, or Jesus Christ?

Quotes – Here is a round-up of some of the best Christian quote sites.

Chastisement is designed for our good, to promote our highest interests. Look beyond the rod to the All-wise hand that wields it!

—A.W. Pink
