A number of resources have turned up, and I&#8217;m excited to share what I&#8217;ve found!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Master&#8217;s Seminary just came out with their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tms.edu\/m\/msj28.2.pdf\" class=\"broken_link\">Fall issue<\/a>, focusing on Christian responses to claims from those who identify as LGBT. Don&#8217;t miss their book reviews.<\/li>\n<li>The Gospel Coalition has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/article\/free-online-courses-from-tgc\/\">announced<\/a>\u00a0a new learning platform called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/courses\">TGC Courses<\/a>, online classes taught by many great scholars in their respective fields on topics as wide as church history, Old and New Testament, apologetics, doctrine, counseling, and more! The ones I&#8217;m personally most excited about is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/course\/mining-gods-word\/#course-introduction\">&#8216;Mining God&#8217;s Word&#8217;<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/courses#tab-7\">&#8216;Theology for Children&#8217; songs<\/a>. Dive right in!<\/li>\n<li>Speaking of free courses, Biblical Training has added a course by textual critic Dan Wallace to their Institute called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblicaltraining.org\/textual-criticism\/daniel-wallace\" class=\"broken_link\">Textual Criticism<\/a>. This course requires a login to watch the lectures, but I promise it will be worth it!<\/li>\n<li>There have been a few cases that have been sent to the Supreme Court related to religious conscience that you may have heard about but don&#8217;t know much of the details. Kim Colby <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/article\/3-conscience-cases-supreme-court\/\">makes us aware of the three cases<\/a>\u00a0that are coming up, and it&#8217;s a good summary. Be on the lookout for them in the news, and pray for those involved.<\/li>\n<li>Listen in as Alasdair Groves <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ccef.org\/resources\/podcast\/best-psychology-david-powlison\">talks with David Powlison about psychology<\/a>. That alone should pique your interest.<\/li>\n<li>A new book critiquing theistic evolution is coming out at the end of this month called\u00a0<em>Theistic Evolution: A Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Critique<\/em>, edited by J.P. Moreland, Stephen Meyer, Christopher Shaw, Ann Gauger, and Wayne Grudem. Moreland was <a href=\"http:\/\/apologetics.com\/blog\/seanmcdowell\/new-critique-of-theistic-evolution-interview-with-author-j-p-moreland\/\" class=\"broken_link\">recently interviewed<\/a> about the book, and Andrew Naselli gave his <a href=\"http:\/\/andynaselli.com\/theistic-evolution-a-scientific-philosophical-and-theological-critique\">initial take<\/a> on the book last week, but it&#8217;s a convenient location to find a 79-page excerpt and a 9-minute video. Check it out!<\/li>\n<li>Lita Cosner and Dr. Robert Carter write a brief, but extremely helpful article for Christians on the amount of <a href=\"https:\/\/creation.com\/misinformation\">misinformation<\/a> that exists on the internet, and how to wisely discern what is true from what is false. This should be required reading for any believer who uses the internet.<\/li>\n<li>Do you sleep less than Jesus? If so, you may need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.desiringgod.org\/articles\/do-you-sleep-less-than-jesus\" class=\"broken_link\">read this article<\/a>, then get some sleep, please.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That&#8217;s all for this week! Please pray for the youth and collegians as they meet for Bible study tonight.
