Credo’s Cache

Each week we will be highlighting important resources. Check back each Friday to see what we have dug up for you. From this week’s cache:

1. To Tame the World: By N.D. Wilson – Wilson notes that: “Our stories and philosophies should help widen our eyes to the glorious personality of our Father. We are here, in a place where words are made flesh all around us, where dragonflies dart like living metallic origami while kids jump off docks into liquid. Where the Word himself was made flesh and showed us love stronger than the armies of Pharaoh.”

2. Our Make-Believe Parents: When Adam Becomes More Fiction than Fact: By Jared Oliphint– Olihphint points out that: “Fortunately, there are Christians who do not reject science as a discipline but instead use it to God’s glory in demonstrating the truth about his world. They are looking at the same scientific data regarding the origins of life and coming to orthodox conclusions in ways that do justice to the appropriate parameters and integrity of the scientific disciplines.”

3. Jesus Overpowers Your Envy: By Tim Chaddick – I appreciate the words that Chaddick offers in this article. He says: “We need to drop the mask, call envy what it is, confess it, repent of it, and embrace the full, beautiful truth of all the goodness God gave us in the gospel.”

4. Work Is a Glorious Thing: By John Piper – Piper notes: “Work is a glorious thing. If you are starting to grow lazy, I summon you back to joy. God made us to work. He formed our minds to think and our hands to make. He gave us strength — little or great — to be about the business of altering the way things are.”

5. The Mercy Seat: Connecting the Dots: By Stephen Nicholas – Nicholas rightly notes: “Christ is our mercy seat. There, in and through Christ, God meets us. The dots are connected.”
