Can We “Agree To Disagree” On Sexuality and Marriage? | Trevin Wax, TGC
“The biggest issue confronting evangelicalism today is not over homosexuality and marriage, but whether or not these are ‘agree-to-disagree’ issues.”

Responding to a Culture Gone Mad: Singing the Lord’s Song | Prince on Preaching
“There is a lot of cultural talk these days about being on the right side of history. Let’s be clear. No matter how things appear, God is always on the right side of history because he is the author of history. ”

Returning “Home” | TGC

Help Me Teach the Bible: Christopher Ash on Job | Nancy Guthrie, TGC
“I sit down with Christopher Ash at his home in Cambridge, England, to get help for teaching the book of Job-perhaps the first book of the Bible written. Our conversation covers ways Job is often taught inadequately and the many ways to preach Christ through this ancient book.”

Essential Truths for Your Everyday Work | Robert Alexander, TGC
“We all want the work we do to make a difference, yet we feel the gap between the realities of daily work and our lives as Christians. We wonder: Am I doing the right thing?

“In 1979 the Lord saved my spiritual heart; in 2015 God gave me a renewed physical heart. Reformed pastors are most comfortable com menting on biblical texts, but like David sometimes we are all called to exegete our own lives -we all are – as we reflect on the grace of God through a personal trial. ”

The Number One Predictor of Divorce and How to Fix It  | John Gottman
“Dr. Gottman noticed a clear pattern among couples that didn’t stay together, identifying what he says is the #1 predictor of divorce. Ready for it? It’s contempt. ”

How Can We Be Angry and Not Sin? | Jon Bloom, Desiring God
“There is a kind of anger that comes from our regenerate, Spirit-directed nature, even if it is unavoidably tainted by our indwelling sin as it passes through the defective filters of our minds and mouths.
