Each Friday, I’ll post links to 3–5 resources from around the web you may want to check out.
Resurrection Déjà Vu
Here’s a reminder (including lots of links) about the evidence for Jesus’s resurrection. The Christian faith is built on historical facts, and despite claims to the contrary, there are plenty of good reasons to believe those facts. (You can read or listen to this article.)
Good News! God Hates Sin.
Yes, God hates sin. But it’s important for us to understand the reasons why, because there’s good news in there!
This is why we must do better at explaining why God hates sin. It’s not enough to say sin is bad. We must show how sin is a parasite, feeding on the good and beautiful things God has made, warping our affections, deceiving our hearts, and leading to destruction. Sin is what keeps us from the God we were made for. Sins are like spiders that must be stomped.
Overcoming Discouragement
A number of CCEF counselors discussed discouragement on a podcast episode recently. They talked about why having language about the feeling of discouragement is important, along with how to overcome discouragement. (For those not into podcasts, a transcript is also posted.)
Thanks to Cliff L for his help in rounding up links this week!
