As iron sharpens iron,
one person sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17)
“One of the books I require the seminary men to read … is More Than a Battle: How to Experience Victory, Freedom, and Healing from Lust by our school’s president, Dr. Joe Rigney. The wise advice in that book is a gift for … those who are struggling with pornography and those who want to help.” - Andy Naselli
Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people? For example, what do we say when a Christian mother backs the car over the top of her little toddler crushing him to death? When a Christian man discovers he has brain cancer and must soon leave his three young children without a father? When a hurricane destroys the homes and disrupts the lives not only of unbelievers but also of believers? Perhaps you’ve asked that question while undergoing personal trial or tragedy.
“We always obey that which we desire the most. When we desire something more than we desire God, we will obey that something if ever and whenever we are faced with a choice to obey God or to obey it.” - Scott Sauls

“What does it mean that the husband is the head of his wife? …What is the covering?…What “head” does the woman dishonor?…What does Paul mean by ‘authority’ ”? - Kevin DeYoung
Thoughts from Russell Moore and Hannah Anderson at Christianity Today
“the idea that faithful Christians are safe from persecution even within Christendom has been proven false. …Christians across America—including dozens of Evangelical Christians within the halls of power—put another Christian man, Mike Pence, in mortal danger last year simply for having the basic integrity to uphold the rule of law.” - David French
“Given the unprecedented pressure to conform to the sexual and gender revolutions, we are about to see another great divide among schools that have identified as evangelical.” - Al Mohler
“Let me label this first group The Influencers. They want a Christianity-influenced nation. Though I think The Influencers need to drop the ‘Christian nationalism’ or ‘Christian nation’ label posthaste…you can count me in with this group.” - 9 Marks
“Dockery told trustees at the October meeting about plans to reduce the operational and personnel budget by around $3.6 million, with Dockery saying that some of their financial challenges ‘reflect multi-faceted matters covering a number of years.’” - CPost
