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. Westminster Seminary California’s 2014 Conference — “Transforming Grace: Our Need for Holiness”: By Kim Riddlebarger – Check out Westminster Seminary’s live conference feed on transforming grace on January 17th and 18th!

2. Mortifying the Fear of Academic Books: By Jared Oliphint – Oliphint notes: “If you can clear the fog of fear and hesitation hovering over academic books, you might find an unexpected depth and richness between the pages. Heavy theological reading will never take the place of a heart-gripping novel or a devotional full of soaring words of worship. But a rich read can often add color, dimension, and vibrancy to your Christian walk and give those devotionals a few more volts.”

3. Evolution is Most Certainly a Matter of Belief – and so is Christianity: By Albert Mohler – Mohler says: “Every mode of thinking requires belief in basic presuppositions. Science, in this respect, is no different than theology. Those basic presuppositions are themselves unprovable, but they set the trajectory for every thought that follows.”

4. Papa Please Preach: By Nick Lannon – Lannon says: “A proper sermon, a true proclamation of law and gospel, should convict at the beginning and pardon at the end. We never end with conviction because it is not we who have been convicted…it is Christ in our place.”

5. 8 Characteristics of Sanctification: By Dustin Crowe – Crowe notes: “Gospel-centered sanctification tethers becoming (growing) to being (identity) by making Christ’s accomplishments and provision for us the catalyst of our lives.”
