A critical skill for Christian maturity is discerning between the “good” (those tasks that need to be done, but that are not necessarily tasks to which God is calling or equipping me or my group to do) and the “better/best” (those tasks that God is particular calling and equipping me or my group to do).

Charity Amidst the Ruins of Norway?

Last updated on: August 1, 2011 at 8:19 pm By Guest Contributor

[Editor’s Note: This post by David Cloutier from the blog Catholic Moral Theology, is part of a roundtable hosted by the Patheos Book Club on the new book The Betrayal of Charity, by Matthew Levering.] St. John tells us that “There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear” (1 Jn 4:18).

"Assuming that everything’s lousy and getting worse can make us feel hopeless, that there’s no point in trying to improve things. In contrast, understanding that the world has improved in many ways, and thinking critically about what remains to be done, are more likely to foster progress."

Radical Together: Changing the Way We “Do Church”

Last updated on: July 22, 2011 at 5:52 pm By Guest Contributor

Where David Platt's book "Radical" focused on changing the way we think about our lives as Christians, "Radical Together" focuses on changing the way we “do church.” I have often suspected that many of our churches aren’t the strongholds of the Gospel that they could be, but instead are mere country clubs with bad golf courses. Mr. Platt’s new book confirms that in spades and suggests a model that is not only more effective but is also more consistent with the Gospel itself. Read more

Kent Annan of Haiti Partners reflects on David Platt's new book "Radical Together." Read more
