Many disparate believers, in many ways, have helped me toward the Lord. How could I be ungrateful? I don’t believe that verses like Romans 12:10 apply only to other Reformed believers. My heart has been stretched out beyond that circle, without diminishing my own convictions, and for that too I am grateful. (Ray Ortlund)

Feliz Friday! I pray this week’s links helps you to strive to live under Christ’s Lordship. Here we go!
- As the culture continues to shift away from a biblical worldview, many areas of Christian living need to be addressed with one another as believers in a post-Christian society. CBMW has been faithfully making headway into this by writing on how parents can teach their children biblical gender roles in all of life, how fathers can train their boys to be courageous, and even starting a new podcast, first of which is an interview with Pastor Ligon Duncan on parenting, family life, and challenges to complementarianism today.
- A lot has happened since the incarceration of Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. A lot of writing has happened as well. The best I’ve seen thus far have been from Harry Reeder, Richard Phillips, Lydia McGrew, and Ryan Anderson.
- A video that makes the claim, “I am a Christian but…” has gone viral this week. Denny Burk provides a clear response.
- Medical doctor Charles Hodges writes about new developments concerning medications, depression, and biblical counseling, specifically on the issue of serotonin and treatments.
- Using the example of a blind 8th-grade runner and her guide-dog, Ken Sande asks us a simple question: how much do you trust God?
- Another end-time prediction is looming on the horizon: four blood moons on September 28th is claimed to signal the end of the world. Clint Archer provides some simple and profound thoughts for believers to heed.
- This is a good heart check for everyone: ten more ways churches drive away first-time guests. Linked on that page is the first 10 ways (this is the next 10 ways). Please read and consider.
- R.C. Sproul has beena a trusted Bible teacher for quite some time. Consider his advice in getting a basic overview of the Bible. This is especially for those who aren’t sure where to start in their Bible reading.
That’s all for this week! Please be in prayer for the youth and collegians as they meet tonight at church, luau tomorrow, and corporate worship on Sunday!
