VERSE OF THE WEEK

if we are faithless, he remains faithful—for he cannot deny himself [2 Tim. 2:13]

BOOK OF THE WEEK

The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan

One of the most widely read books of all time, this adventure reveals John Bunyan’s intense grasp of the Scriptures. Penned while in prison for refusing to compromise the gospel, The Pilgrim’s Progress is a guide for the journey from death to life. The times have changed, but the landmarks and adversaries are very much the same.

The Pilgrim’s Progress is a call to the high stakes of every Christian’s journey. Don’t pick it up expecting quaint amusement; it is a story of the undeniable truth, great cost, and overwhelming joy of the gospel.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“I want the presence of God Himself, or I don’t want anything at all to do with religion… I want all that God has or I don’t want any.” ― A.W. Tozer

POST OF THE WEEK

Is Social Justice a Gospel Issue?  by Kevin DeYoung

There is a simple, straightforward answer to the question posed in the title of this post: it depends.

Is social justice a gospel issue? That depends on what we mean by “social justice” and what we mean by “gospel issue.”

TIP OF THE WEEK

You Need Big Time for Big Projects

Oftentimes, I find myself trying to whittle away at a big project and frustration and defeat overwhelm me.  If you have a big project, you need more than a few minutes a day.  Carve out a good chunk of time to really identify all what you need to do and then find some time to get large sections of it done.
