The beginning of a new month is an ideal time to consider that right now, at this very moment, God is reigning from his throne. All will be well.
A new month always brings an especially big batch of Kindle deals. And sure enough, there is a whole lot to look at and choose from. Probably the best Kindle deal I’ve ever seen tops the general market list: The complete The Last Lion trilogy, the definitive account of the life of Winston Churchill. I’ve read it all and it’s incredible.
What Happened When a Berkeley Feminist Had Three Sons
Sheluyang Peng takes a very interesting look at what happened when a Berkeley feminist had three sons. “There’s an old joke that goes ‘Nobody will win the battle of the sexes. There’s just too much fraternizing with the enemy.’ In feminist writer Ruth Whippman’s new book BoyMom: Reimagining Boyhood in the Age of Impossible Masculinity, she doesn’t just fraternize with the ‘enemy,’ she gives birth to three of them.”
The Tragedy of IVF
I believe Christians have a lot of thinking to do about IVF so am thankful for Carl Trueman’s thoughts in this article. “While I do not deny the humanity of the child born by IVF or surrogacy, the procedures do. The child in the womb is treated not as a person but as a thing, not as a subject but as an object, not as intrinsically valuable but as having value only as instrumental to some other end.”

Dan Crabtree has a pastoral letter that may give comfort to those who don’t feel like God has forgiven them.
How Not to Respond to Suffering
John Piper considers Job’s wife and offers counsel on how not to respond to suffering. “What’s the author’s purpose in telling us about Job’s wife’s apparent despair? I think it has a double purpose. One is to show that, in our suffering, our most precious friend or loved one may turn against us (at least, it may seem so). Our flesh and bone, part of our very self, may become part of Satan’s test.”
What Exactly Is “Sola Scriptura” Protecting Us Against?
It is good to consider what the precious doctrine of sola scriptura is actually protecting us against.
Sanctification and Sexual Purity: God’s Will for Your Life
“There is a direct link between our holiness and our sexual purity. There’s a direct link between your body which is united to Christ and what you do with your body. And that my friends is not popular.”
Flashback: Living Sorrows and Departed Joys
…while I find little benefit in comparing one kind of grief to another, I am certain the sorrow of watching a living child careen toward hell is every bit as sharp as the pain of losing a child, but knowing he is safely in heaven.
Church growth experts often advise pastors to shape the church around the desires, opinions, and values of the culture. But a “user-friendly” philosophy of ministry only makes the church like the world.
