Kindle Deal: Notes From The Tilt-A-Whirl: Wide-Eyed Wonder in God’s Spoken World by N. D. Wilson. $2.99.
Seven of the best articles I came across this week:
1. Oli Tucker – The Whole Counsel of God. Which parts of Scripture are most popular with Bible-preaching churches? Oli Tucker has spent some time exploring selection bias by preachers. His findings might surprise you!
2. Walter Sinnott-Armstrong – How To Win Every Argument. An aversion to arguments is common, but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes profound problems for our personal and social lives — and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place.
3. Sarah Hamersma – Consumption Pharisees? On the New Minimalism. “Things” are still at the center of this new movement that is purportedly anti-consumerist.
4. Rachel Lu – We Need More Screen-Free Zones. On a recent trip to the zoo with my kids, I wondered, are there any unmediated experiences left?
5. Mindy Belz – Good News Wins. The upside-down rejoicing the apostles discovered is the deeper resilient joy that comes from cultivating first a realistic awareness of the world, then an appreciation for God at work in it.
6. Trillia Newbell – God Will Give You Everything You Need. May we be people who respond in gratitude and proclaim with confidence: “If God is for us”—and sent his only Son to die on a cross on our behalf—“who can be against us?”
7. What does it mean today for a journalist to be a serious reader? Good thoughts on here on reading well and widely.
