4 Ways Pornography Hurts The Environment And National Security | Dustin Murphy, The Federalist
“Some say climate change is the greatest threat to national security, but pornography actually poses a serious national security threat. Pornography is harmful to the environment and a national security risk in four ways: it (1) is an intellectual-environmental hazard; (2) changes our view of sexuality and women; (3) causes selfish, self-absorbed, self-centered (S₃), and narcissistic people; and (4) discriminates against women.”

Top Ten Reasons to Attend Evening Worship | Danny Hyde, Meet the Puritans
“A while back in my weekly email to my congregation, I gave my people my ‘Top Ten Reasons to Attend Evening Worship’ in an ongoing effort to educate, encourage, and exhort. They are not exhaustive and they apply to my context, in particular, but the principles should be applicable to any who reads this. May God move his people in our time to sanctify the Christian Sabbath, leading to a renewal of evening worship.”

4 Methods To Organize Your Prayer Life | Tim Challies
“But the principle is clear: Give time and effort to your prayer life, not only in praying, but also in preparing yourself to pray.

“What are we to do? I suspect that’s a question many Christians have been asking lately. The rapid sexual descent of our culture either has or will force every Christian to seriously ask it–Christians who might otherwise be content to play the part of the ostrich with their head stuck firmly in the sand. ”

A Q&A with the Apostle Paul on What’s Wrong with the Human Race and What God Did About It | Justin Taylor, TGC
“We sometimes think of the second half of the first chapter of Romans as a discourse about atheists…But in reality, it’s much more than this: a universal text that applies to all of us apart from Christ—what we are, what we do, and what we would do apart from God’s restraining and redeeming grace, with graphic examples to illustrate our truth-suppression and idolatrous identity.”

The Most Powerful Apologetic Tool in the World | Jon Bloom, Desiring God
“The Bible itself is the greatest apologetic device that exists in the world. More people come to know and love Jesus Christ simply by reading the Bible than anything else.”
