The office of the law is to show us the disease, in such a way as to show us, at the same time, no hope of cure: the office of the gospel is, to bring a remedy to those that were past hope. For as the law leaves a man to himself, it condemns him, of necessity, to death; while the gospel, bringing him to Christ, opens the gate of life. (John Calvin)

• Thabiti Anyabwile has a 2-parter on leaving the church. The first is for members and you can find it here. And then here‘s the pastor’s edition.
• How we save or spend our money is a very important topic we need to think through if we haven’t already. Tim Challies gives us four questions we can ask to guide our thought process.
• I have from time to time linked to Jeremy Walker’s articles on his personal evangelism series. He has finally completed it, and you can find it here. On the topic of evangelism, Mark Dever shares five things evangelism is often mistaken as.
• When I reference Joe Carter on the Beacon, it’s usually in reference to “9 Things You Didn’t Know…”. However, this time he writes for the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission here on comforting those who are dying.
• Do you believe that God speaks to you? Daniel Hyde shares three purposes with which God speaks to us through His Word.
• For those of you who enjoy Steve Lawson, here is a great, impromptu presentation of the gospel message.

Enjoy!
