A La Carte (October 25)

A La Carte Friday 2

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you today.

Does Your Church Need to Repent for the Nursery?

The Family Integrated Church movement effectively says that churches ought to repent of having a nursery. Writing for The Cripplegate, Dan Crabtree explains how this binds consciences on an issue where Scripture does not.

Why We Won’t Spend Eternity in Heaven

It is important for Christians to know and understand that we won’t actually spend eternity in heaven (depending, of course, what we mean by heaven). “One pervasive misconception is that we’ll spend eternity in heaven, gathered around God’s throne with the angels.

How should you respond when Christians are mocked in popular culture? Here’s one solid answer to the question.

What Pastoral Productivity Can and Cannot Do For You

It is important for pastors to know what productivity can and cannot do for them. The same is true of non-pastors as well, of course.

Flashback: Why I Owe Everything To Don Lewis

Don found opportunities to explain the gospel of grace and to call dad to it. And eventually dad realized he had finally found ideas that were big enough to fill his mind and great enough to satisfy his heart.

Most men are notable for one conspicuous virtue or grace. Moses for meekness, Job for patience, John for love. But, in Jesus you find everything.

    Men in the Image of Women and Women in the Image of Men

    God made men and God made women. God made men distinct from women and women distinct from men. God made men and women equal in worth and value while also making them distinct in some purpose and function. It’s all obvious stuff, this—obvious matters of differences between the sexes.

    In the midst of our busy lives, we can sometimes wonder whether we really have the time to pray. Won’t prayer hinder our productivity? Won’t prayer keep us from getting done all the things we need to do?
