Weekly Links (6/15/2012)

We are saved, sanctified, and sustained by what Jesus did for us on the cross and through the power of the resurrection. If you add to or subtract from the cross, even if it is to factor in biblically mandated religious practices like prayer and evangelism, you rob God of his glory and Christ of his sufficiency. (Matt Chandler, The Explicit Gospel)

We have another great set of links for you to mull over this weekend.

  • The Christian Counseling & Education Foundation just published the next issue of the Journal of Biblical Counseling. You can view it free until the next issue is published.
  • The Cripplegate celebrated its first birthday. Look back on the ten most read posts in the past year. I particularly enjoyed the most read post, listed last at the bottom.
  • Ken Currie from Desiring God challenges us to share the gospel even when it’s awkward.
  • Glenn T. Stanton from the Gospel Coalition shares how fatherhood is the core of the universe. What is he talking about? Click through to find out.
  • Ray Ortlund writes from Mark 6:35-37 about Jesus’ expressing his fullness through us. While every command in Scriptures demand our obedience, it also comes with His power.
  • Rich Clark from the Gospel Coalition shares how we should respond to the video game crisis that is plaguing young men today.
  • Peter Saunders shares twenty questions that atheists struggle to answer. These are good questions to ask atheists to challenge their worldview.

That’s it, y’all. Hope you have a joyous weekend.
