(1) Remember the infertile on Mother’s Day: Russell Moore writes, “Mother’s Day is a particularly sensitive time in many congregations, and often their husbands, are still often grieving in the shadows.” In his short article, he offers some very helpful suggestions for pastors as to how to care for these precious souls on a day that is for them, only a harsh reminder of what they do not have. Truly excellent!

(2) Though I do not know these men personally at all, this interview with C.J. Mahaney and James McDonald was a real blessing. The final seven minutes (where James MacDonald speaks and asks questions of C.J.) are outstanding! Very insightful.. and don’t miss the great line in the last few seconds!

(3) Ligonier has a few excellent deals in this week’s $5 Friday sale here. Remember, if you do decide to purchase material, you can claim a 10% discount on these and on ALL products as a reader of this blog by using the coupon code: EGRACE10

“All” means “all” right?

Well, no, not always.

I would kindly ask my Arminian friends to please take note concerning how I am using the word “all” here. As is always the case, the word “all” has a context. In using the word “all,” I am not referring to ALL products on planet earth; past, present and future. I guess you could try to use this special code at Kmart, at the Gas Station, or at the grocery store. Best of luck with that! I don’t think the code will be useful to you in those settings, but, of course, you are welcome to try. Instead, I am referring to ALL within a certain category or group; in this case, ALL products available through Ligonier Ministries. 🙂

(4) This short video by Dr. J. I. Packer on hell is alarming. That is because the biblical doctrine of hell IS alarming!
