This is a fantastic resource for anyone who wants to think deeper and better on the implications of financial support and mercy ministries. Highly recommended.<\/li>\n<li>I like to think that someone over at Logos noticed I made fun of their free offering for January, and in a spirit of reconciliation hired someone to hack into my WTS account and see what books I\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">do<\/span> like. Ok, that probably didn&#8217;t happen, but they\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">are<\/span> giving away Michael Lawrence&#8217;s\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.logos.com\/free-book-of-the-month\">Biblical Theology in the Life of the Church<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>which is excellent.

I have no jokes for that, because Hell is not funny. \u00a0It would also not be funny if you didn&#8217;t avail yourself to the excellent articles in Tabletalk.
