Gospel Coalition: Ancient Wisdom for a Sexualized World

“In his new book The Mingling of Souls: God’s Design for Love, Marriage, Sex, and Redemption, Matt Chandler tackles an array of pertinent questions—both the ones we’re asking and the ones we should be. Working from Scripture’s erotic, covenantal love ballad The Song of Songs, Chandler helps us navigate landmine-laced terrain with timely wisdom and gospel grace.”

Desiring God: But God…

“’But God.’ These two words are overflowing with gospel. For sinners like you and me who were lost and completely unable to save ourselves from our dead-set rebellion against God, there may not be two more hopeful words that we could utter.”

Paul Robinson: Why Grace Means We are Free to Sin

“What if we truly believe that no matter what we do, that Grace is enough to set us free? That even if we spent everyday of our lives sinning over and over that we are still saved from sin? That no matter what we do we are still loved and always will be?”

Covenant Eyes: How to Raise a Porn Addict

“Now that the first of the Internet generation has entered adulthood, porn use has become more common than ever before. Old Internet filtering approaches aren’t enough anymore. Parents need to understand the problem and create an atmosphere of love and accountability in the home. The goal is not merely to keep kids safe online but train kids to become responsible adults.”

Rey Reynoso: Eleven Reminders for Dealing with Sin

“On this side of eternity we will sin. I’m not saying we must sin. Sin is not necessary to human life but it is part of human life. On this side of eternity we will struggle with it. We will sin.”

Sammy Adebiyi: How to Mute Inadequacy

“The temptation is to run to self-help in a search for a cure to our inadequacy but Jesus offers us something bigger and better. He offers us grace. Grace is God saying I’ll let you bat even though you just went 0 for 23596. Grace is unmerited favor. Grace is God saying I’m always FOR you in spite of you. Grace is throwing us a party after we return home from wasting our lives.”

CCEF: The Hopeless Marriage

“I hate that hopelessness. The choices are to persist in the relationship and see who dies first or to craft an independent life and try to pretend you don’t care. Either way, your soul withers. It is hard to have a vibrant life with God when your primary relationship is in the dumper.”

Desiring God: Lecrae Confesses Abortion, Invites Others into the Light

“Years down the line I was going through premarital, getting rid of pictures of my ex-girlfriends, to say my mind and my heart are focused on this woman here, and I don’t need any reminders of anything. And I came across her picture and I couldn’t throw it away. And my wife said, ‘Just throw it in the trash.’ I literally broke down over the guilt and the remorse and the shame of it all. That was the beginning of the healing process for me.”

Storyline: You Should Give Yourself a Little More Grace

“He also mentioned that it was important for people to have some grace toward themselves about behavior change. The idea is to keep moving forward, but when we slip up, simply plant our feet and keep moving, slowly, but further than the place where we slipped up before.”

Redemption Pictures: For They Shall See God

“What if being pure in heart isn’t about being void of traditional immoralities (lying, swearing, sex), but rather unadulterated by the darker demons that twist and corrupt love into something unrecognizable (fear, doubt, and all the little ways their horde robs the soul of its life)?”

The Porn Effect: An Open Letter From a Former Porn Star

“I was a ‘porn star’ for only six months but featured in over twenty films. I’ve been there, I’ve done that, and I’ve seen the reality of what the porn industry is really like. I think many people believe falsehoods about porn. Falsehoods which, if they knew them to be such, would probably try harder (or try at all) to stop watching porn.”

Joe Dallas: The Walking Wounded

“If I have any of that in me – any humility, any tenderness, any ability to connect – it sure didn’t come from a book. Or genes, or a seminar. It was born out of the times I was humiliated, passed over, ridiculed, rejected. The only reason I can say ‘I’ve been there’ to anyone else is because I have, and it wasn’t good. But dear Lord, did it ever turn out to be priceless.”

Stand to Reason: The Myth of Hate

“I realize I don’t speak for every Christian, but I know and have met a lot of Christians across the country. I’ve been travelling and specifically talking about this topic for over a decade. I’ve met Baptists, Lutherans, Catholics, Coptics, Presbyterians, Evangelicals, Seventh Day Adventists, Mennonites, Methodists, Anabaptists, Anglicans, Episcopalians, Orthodox, and others. Guess what? I don’t find they hate homosexuals. In fact, they’re often frustrated that no one believes them that they, as Christ commanded, love all people.”

Redemption Pictures: After Three Beers

“I want to be the person that I am after three beers. After three beers, I am unafraid. I dance without thinking about how I look, without trying to remember what my feet should be doing…”
