“My suggestion is to take this book at face value. Fesko is well versed in historical theology, and his treatment of the doctrines included in this book is worth reading. Some might want to do a deeper study and examine Fesko’s quotations of biblical counseling authors in their context. Most readers, however, would do best to take a charitable approach to both Fesko and the authors he quotes and focus on the content of his criticism.” –@SimonettaCarr

"We need a revolution within our souls to make us capable of freedom, because I am quite sure that as long as we remain the same, no political revolution will lead us there.” (Albertine de Broglie, born aftr the chaos of the French Reign of Terror)
We rarely hear about early Protestant missionaries to South America. Here's one: Pablo Besson: Bringing the Gospel to Argentina -w/ guest: Samuel Masters share.google/Bv59s34L8oXG3Iq…
"A godly person observed that Christians are usually to blame for three things: they seek in themselves what they can only find in Christ; they seek in the law what will only be found in the Gospel; and they seek on earth what will only be enjoyed in heaven." (Thomas Manton).

Please pray for Pastor Frank and Shiloh Community Church in North Phoenix as they seek to care for families affected by serious mental illness. This is our first @P82home Caregiver Support Group launch. We are humbled and grateful. In person meetings begin this September.
In his famous statement, 'What has Athens to do with Jerusalem?' it sounds as if Tertullian is saying, 'Forget the Romans, forget the Greeks, just read the Bible,' but he's not really saying this, and he himself quotes Greco-Roman classics all the time.'" (Nadya Williams)
Now that everyone is talking about the Odyssey, you might enjoy listening to this (she doesn't talk about the Odyssey but about Greco-Roman classics in general and how the early Christians viewed them) alliancenet.org/episode/how-…

The racist, kinist, and ethnonationalist response to the adoption, by the majority of the NAPARC churches, of a simple, short condemnation of racism/kinism illustrates why this action was necessary. Most of these accounts are anonymous, but some of them are in our churches. The people behind those accounts need to hear the law of God applied concretely to this sin.
They need to know that their views are outside the pale and that they need to repent.
Preaching the law of God, calling sin what is, and seeking repentance is not virtue signaling. It is a basic part of the ministry of the Word of God.

I remember when my kids were little, there was a whole VBS circuit, that all the moms knew about. You could have your kid in a VBS each week of summer and have your summer childcare covered. There were charts, with churches and times, and everything.
Some of the older people got mad about this. Said this was about Jesus, not people getting free childcare.
And that's the wrong take. These kids learned to feel safe in church. They heard about Jesus. They met every pastor in town. The financial burden on neighborhood families were lifted. And you didn't see the fruit right away. But when there was a death in the family, or a tragedy, old VBS attenders knew who to reach out to. And they met with Jesus when it mattered, and the Holy Spirit controls the timing, not us.
Grace is lavish. The gospel is lavish. Just look at the parable of the sower. He's just throwing seed every which way, on rocks, on thorns, on good soil. Sow lavishly, because the seed we are sowing is lavish. Grace sown stingy isn't grace.
My goodness, everyone needs to go and read/watch "Babette's Feast." Learn something about the transforming power of grace when it's given generously.

MAHA has truly brought out the worst in the anti-psych camp. They are posting the most awful memes & CCHR (Scientology) garbage in online support groups for families of adults with severe schizophrenia living in unbearable crisis situations. It’s so harmful & will cause more tragedies.
