The Difference Between Outrage and Accountability – Yes! “For the Christian, shame and outrage can never be ends in themselves. While we value accountability, Christian accountability should always be oriented toward reconciliation and restoration – and seasoned with humility and love.”

What It Means And Does Not Mean To Honor Our President – Mark Altrogge follows up.

The Life and Theology of Paul – Ligonier Ministries is putting together a great selection of courses; the latest one looks at the life and theology of Paul; the first lecture is free. (Also consider their $5 Friday sale which has some good books and commentaries.)
