Most of these will probably be from last week as I am playing catch-up, from missing a week of blogging.
Sanctification in the Everyday
John Piper—or more accurately someone on his staff–has compiled some of his sermons on sanctification into an ebook. As typical with DG the book is yours for free. Just click this link and pick which format you want the book in.
Have Our Children Forgotten How to Play Outdoors?
Taking his cues from author Richard Louv, Al Mohler wonders whether or not our children have a nature-deficit disorder. I appreciate Mohler’s insight as well as his pointing out this interesting looking book. You can buy Louv’s book here.
Spare the Rod, Spoil the Church
Wes Pastor blends parenting discipline with church discipline and notes that neglecting either is deadly. I really appreciate this piece. Be sure to read the comments as well as they actually add to the discussion (which is unfortunately not-typical).
With the Jerry Sandusky trial having been completed and the after effects now hitting Penn State I commend Steve Cornell’s work here in profiling an abuser. The greatest damage isn’t Sandusky’s prison sentence, taking down Paterno’s statue, or the punishment meted out by the NCAA. The greatest damage is that which Sandusky did to his victims. Here Cornell profiles abusers so that parents will see red flags before its too late.
Wow! Count me as one that is impressed:
