Wherever mission communities were around the world, the Moravians sought first to root them in Bible meditation along with ecstatic hymn singing and prayer. The Bible was a book about a missionary Father with a missionary Son who was wedded to a missionary Bride. (Evan Burns, “Moravian Missionary Piety and the Influence of Count Zinzendorf”)

Feliz Friday! I hope your weeks have been a joy to our Lord and a time of blessing to others. Hopefully, that continues on into the weekend, so here’s some links that will point you to our Savior!

• How do we engage the culture around us with a faithful Christian witness? Greg Koukl has spent his life teaching believers how to be winsome ambassadors of Christ, and has distilled his insights in ‘Diplomacy or D-Day?‘ Believe me when I tell you: this is must reading if you want to grow to be a more faithful witness to Christ and His gospel.
• Evangelist Jeff Durbin has begun airing a series of talks from his Apologia Academy that will be of interest to some of you. His first talk connects how to do presuppositional apologetics in critiquing Mormonism. Hopefully, it will benefit you long after watching.
• Over at the Grace to You blog, a new series is being posted, dealing with Frequently Abused Verses. So far, the eye of the needle and judging have been covered.
• If the occasion came to speak to your kids about death, what would you say? Jeff Robinson has some biblical insights worth considering.
• With the recent posting of the 10th video from the Center for Medical Progress, some may argue that the focus of these videos is on the ugliness of abortion. Though that may come through in some of the graphic images, the focus is more on Planned Parenthood profiting from the sale of baby parts. Keep that in mind.
• In light of the videos surrounding Planned Parenthood appearing nearly every week, now would be a good time to prepare for discussions concerning abortion. Learning to present a view towards life that honors God and shows love to those who have had an abortion requires training. To help towards that end, Wretched Radio is working alongside Scott Klusendorf of Life Training Institute to create a tv show dedicated to defending a pro-life view. It would also be helpful to know that medical science is on the side of life, in case you were wondering.
• How do you move from head to heart knowledge? In other words, what is most helpful to practically apply what you learn from God’s Word? Here are five ways to get you going.

That’s all for this week! I hope your weekend will bring many opportunities to represent Christ well, wherever you are. See you all on Sunday!
