Favorite reads of the week

There's always so many articles to read, but here were a few that helped me in various ways:

Justin Taylor - Spectrums of Theological Truth and Error
Justin Taylor - Ray Comfort's 180 - watched it last week.  Thought-provoking and challenging questions. 
Tim Challies - Did I Marry the Wrong Person?  - I know, I know.  The title is scary.  But I promise, it's not what you think.  A very humbling and joyful reminder of the sanctification of marriage.  So thankful for my dear wifey.
Thabiti - Moms - cute anectdote
Thabiti - Marriage - one of my favorite articles this year.  Way to go, Thabs
Last, but not least, I love gadgets and I thought this one looked pretty cool, especially since I bike a lot.  Would I actually get it?  Not sure.

If It Wasn't For You by Jimmy Needham

My favorite part of the song:
"to run and work, the law commands
but gives me neither feet nor hands.
Better news the gospel brings:
Bids me fly and gives me wings!"

What a good reminder that under the law of works we will fail every time by our fallen nature. But under the law of Christ, we are set free to live for the Lord, knowing that we are right with God because of Christ.

The Father's Love

I read this article today and was put to shame for all the times I complain and am ungrateful in light of what God has done.

A good song to respond to God's amazing love?  I'm glad you asked:

The Father's Love

On a side note, one of my favorite songs, Before the Throne, Shaneified (man, he hits some crazy high notes)
