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. Why Is This Issue Different?By Kevin DeYoung – DeYoung notes: “In short, those who pervert the grace of God into a license for sensuality are false teachers who do not preach the gospel rightly. A true church does not encourage people in deliberate sin when it ought to call them to repentance.”

2. Intellectual Discipleship?By Albert Mohler – Mohler notes: “By God’s grace, we are allowed to love God with our minds in order that we may serve him with our lives. Christian faithfulness requires the conscious development of a worldview that begins and ends with God at its center.”

3. Pastors Need GraceBy Paul Tripp – Tripp says: “The personal and ministerial security of a pastor do not rest in his knowledge, experience, or skill. No, his place of rest and hope is exactly the same as everyone to whom he ministers: the rescuing and transforming grace of Christ Jesus.”

4. Have You Ever Had a Pastoral Visit?By Michael Horton – Horton points out that: “Many Christians today don’t have any idea of this visitation practice.  It’s odd, unfamiliar—to pastors  and to the congregation.  This is especially true where the ‘preacher’ the congregation sees on a Jumbotron screen is someone other than the person they meet and encounter as their own spiritual leader week-in and week-out.  That’s just wrong.”

5. Is It True That Natural Man Cannot Do Any Good?By Derek Thomas – Thomas notes: “The unbeliever’s moral inability to do good—good that may be credited to his account by way of righteousness—means that there is only one possible way of salvation: it must come from outside himself. God alone can provide new life where there is inability and blindness.”
