“A Father-Daughter Bond, Page by Page” The New York Times shares the story of a father and daughter who read together every night for 3,218 straight days. This post is a few years, old, but is a great example to fathers. “In high school, I had friends who never talked to their parents. It never occurred to me not to. If someone takes care of you, you want to be with them.” “Older Men, Younger Men Need You” Noting the... Read more

How to Grow as a Husband (Part 1)

Last updated on: March 6, 2015 at 1:05 pm By Scott Slayton

When God created the world, he saw everything he made and said “it is good.” The first time the Lord declares something to not be good is Adam standing alone in the garden. After bringing every animal to Adam for him to name and not finding a suitable helper for him, God caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep. God removed one of Adam’s ribs and fashioned it into his wife. When Adam awakes, his creator presents his wife... Read more

“Wendell Berry, Burkean“ I mentioned my appreciation for Berry’s fiction in a post last week and enjoyed reading this interview with him in The American Conservative on a range of issues. While I would disagree with Berry’s definition of the core of Christianity, I appreciate his thoughts on localism. war, and the simple life. “When neighbors replace local stories with stories from television, and when they sit in the house and watch television instead of talking on front porches, a profound...

“Please Address Me as Mister. I Insist” Our culture tends to think of formality as inauthentic and informality as inauthentic. This has led us to jettison many of the ways we used to address each other based on our station in life. Michael Strain believes this informality hurts us and calls for a return to thinking through how we address other people. “And, ultimately, equality in all things is false. A PhD has added to the stock of human knowledge;... Read more

Romans 8-16 for You

Last updated on: February 16, 2015 at 2:25 am By Scott Slayton

The book of Romans holds a place of honor in the history of Christian exposition and theology. Paul’s longest letter sets forth the basic message of the Christian Gospel from beginning to end, showing both its power to save and its ability to change the lives of those who believe on this side of glory. Few bookshelves could hold all the scholarly literature written on Romans, but few resources combine exposition of the text with timely application to the life... Read more

“No Grey Area“ With the approaching release of 50 Shades of Grey, Kevin DeYoung writes about why Christians should avoid this movie that so many are celebrating. “But the Bible never titillates with its description of sin. It never paints vice with virtue’s colors. It does not entertain with evil (unless to mock it). The Bible does not dull the conscience by making sin look normal and righteousness look strange.” “Vaccination and the Christian“ A recent measles outbreak has brought... Read more

The Bible, Sexuality, and the State of Alabama

Last updated on: February 9, 2015 at 2:27 pm By Scott Slayton

Today is the first day same sex couples are allowed to marry in the state of Alabama. News outlets in the state have covered this issue extensively, and by extensively I mean that have run many articles in favor of same-sex marriage and only allowed Roy Moore to speak for those who believe marriage should be between a man and a woman. A couple of these articles have focused on the Bible’s teaching on marriage and represent the crassest form... Read more

How Ordinary Christians Can Make an Extraordinary Impact

Last updated on: January 14, 2015 at 11:16 am By Scott Slayton

The last decade has seen a surge in Christians coming awake to social justice issues. Unfortunately, many engage social justice issues in a manner that’s devoid of the Gospel and many who claim to be most committed to the Gospel don’t believe these issues are a priority. In addition, many Christians want to make a practical difference in the world and do not know where to start, so they sit powerless believing the task is to big for them to... Read more

“Faithful with Fifteen Minutes” Often we think about reading the Bible and get overwhelmed at its size. Rondi Lauterbach tallies up how much time you would cumulatively spend in God’s word if you spent 15 minutes a day in study. “The reality is, there are many times where fifteen minutes are all you get, and if that’s all you have, don’t just spend it, invest it. Don’t let it peter away to nothing. Don’t despise small amounts of time. Grab... Read more

How Can I Know that I’m a Christian

Last updated on: January 6, 2015 at 7:48 pm By Scott Slayton

Every Christian struggles with assurance at some point in their journey. We sometimes struggle to believe the Gospel is true and other times we doubt whether God is working within us. The good news for us is that God does not want to leave us in the struggle but rather gives us resources so that we can find assurance. Christians have wrestled with this issue for centuries and one of the best explanations of where we go to find Christian... Read more
