Overcoming Pornography: Recovery or Redemption
Garrett Higbee of The Biblical Counseling Coalition addresses to vastly different approaches to overcoming pornography. Read his important distinctions in Overcoming Pornography: Recovery or Redemption.
Low Self-Esteem, High Self-Esteem, or Something Very Different?
Andy Naselli outlines Tim Keller’s biblical teaching that low self-esteem is not our problem and high self-esteem is not God’s solution. Instead, tracing the life of the Apostle Paul, Keller argues that self-forgetfulness on the basis of Christ-esteem and Christ-image (our position and identity in Christ) is God’s final soul-u-tion. Read Keller’s thoughts in The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness.
I See Resurrected People
The Resurgence re-posted my blog where I ask whether as Christians we truly understand our new identity in Christ. Read it at The Resurgence at I See Resurrected People.
You Don’t Have to Sin
Since we are resurrected people, we don’t have to sin. No, that does not mean we are perfect or glorified. However, it does mean that through our regeneration and redemption in Christ, we do have the power to say “No!” to sin. Mark Altrogge outlines some of the biblical reasons why this is true in You Don’t Have to Sin (Even When It Feels Like You Will Explode If You Don’t).
Ayn Rand, Anti-Christ
Joel Miller shares some important cautions to Christians whose political affiliation leans libertarian or conservative or capitalistic. No, he is not opposing those political views. He is opposing Ayn Rand as a source of those views, given her decidedly anti-Christian life philosophy. Read Miller’s thoughts in Ayn Rand, Anti-Christ.
