“Every attack on the Bible is an attack on divine truth and God’s holy nature, no matter where the attack originates. And what is most shocking in this endless battle is how often Scripture is hit by friendly fire. Perhaps no doctrine has been as consistently assaulted from within the church as the inerrancy of Scripture.” (John MacArthur, Final Word: Why We Need the Bible)

Feliz Friday! Another week has come to an end, and the links just keep popping up. So here are this week’s links!

• The Discovery Institute has begun a series of videos contrasting common scientific slogans with science. This week, episode 4 came out, challenging Bill Nye’s “I suck” comment about the supposed insignificance of everyone in this world as a speck of specks. A great conversation-starter! For a good overview of the series, and all the previous episodes in one spot, click here.
• SBC Pastors Tom Ascol and Jared Longshore discuss the importance of manhood in light of the SBC’s attention on sexual abuse within the church on this week’s Sheologians podcast.
• Yet again, Stand to Reason’s Tim Barnett deals with another pro-choice meme meant to silence those against abortion, and not create opportunities for dialogue.
• Biblical counselor Mark Shaw addresses the recent decision by the World Health Organization to label “gaming disorder” as an disease and an addiction. Some heart questions are definitely in order here.
• How are teens tempted to embrace a false gospel? What are some of the most common false ideas influencing teens today? Biblical counselor Ellen Castillo gives four and good reason to hope for both counselor and teen.
• How do we understand the book of Job? Tyndall House writer-in-residence Christopher Ash gives nine guidelines to get a better grasp of this complex book.
• As complementarians, what is our responsibility towards women in the church and in our homes? Hohn Cho wrote a very helpful post detailing our role before God to care for our sisters in Christ.
• Pastor Robert Cheong lays out four priorities in the essentials of gospel care. This is definitely worth bookmarking and referring back to if you provide any counsel to those in need.
• In this week’s Crossway Podcast, medical doctor Kathryn Butler discusses her experiences as a trauma surgeon in the ICU, common misconceptions about intensive care medicine, and counsel she has provided to those who are reaching the end of their life.

That’s all for this week! Please pray for Salt and Light, as they will be having their Table for 5 event tomorrow. See you all on Sunday, at church and at FITS!
