♢ The Biggest Intellectual Struggle Christians Face at College Isn't What You Think (video)
It's starting college season, so Michael Kruger shares the biggest intellectual struggle Christian's face at college.
For many young adults, the college years are an exciting period of self discovery full of new relationships, new independence, and new experiences. Yet college can also be a time of personal testing and intense questioning— especially for Christian students confronted with various challenges to Christianity and the Bible for the first time.
♢ No One Drifts Into Godliness—Why Spiritual Growth Is Not Accidental
We've all heard the stories of high profile Christians whose secret lives of sin were exposed. We should never think we're immune. This author wants to talk about how you can keep it from happening to you.
The Christian life isn’t accidental; it doesn’t unravel or flourish randomly. It is shaped by a small number of deeply embedded patterns that quietly, steadily form everything else. Christians have called these patterns ways, paths, or even disciplines. In our current cultural language, I prefer to call them keystone habits. They are practices that don’t just exist alongside the Christian life, but actually shape it at the heart level when practiced in the Spirit’s power.
♢ Men level up their reading game
This article talks about a newish genre that has been attracting male readers. And a Christian author in the genre whose work sounds pretty interesting.
The popularity of LitRPG is something of an anomaly. By and large, men aren’t picking up books very often, and that may be both a supply and demand problem. Screen time and podcast listening increasingly replace print reading, driving down the sales of nonfiction titles. And as men read less, publishing houses focus on content that appeals to women, leaving men with even fewer reasons to pick up a book. But as the success of LitRPG shows, men are willing to read if they can find a good story to draw them in.
♢ You Don’t Have to Be an Intellectual to Be a Theologian
Theology is not just for ministers and academics. It’s for every believer—and it’s easy to start. This article has some tips on getting your feet wet.
Theology can sound intimidating to some, but at its core, theology is just words about who God is and what God has done. And think about how God made us: Out of all his creatures, God delighted to give us minds that can know him and voices that can speak of him. He gave us the gift of language that we might “speak good of his Name” (Psalm 100:4, Coverdale Psalter). We were made to be theologians.
♢ Now Free Forever: R.C. Sproul’s Teaching Series (video)
Ligonier Ministries has a big announcement about their RC Sproul archive, available on their app or their website.
I don't agree with Sproul about every point of theology, but he was an excellent teacher, and I will absolutely be taking advantage of this.
