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. When Hope and History RhymeBy Tim Keller – Keller says: “History ends with resurrection. Resurrection is complete restoration, but only after death and destruction. This approach avoids the unbalanced optimism of modernity but also the hopelessness of dystopianism.”

2. Conflict is an Opportunity for GraceBy David Mathis– Mathis notes: “We’re quick to believe the lie that if we just avoid the conflict, or at least minimize it, then it will diminish over time and eventually go away. But wisdom speaks a different word. Sure, there are offenses we can forebear and personal frustrations we can get over, but interpersonal conflict doesn’t go away with inattention. It festers. It deepens. It curdles.”

3. The Sin We Don’t Speak OfBy Courtney Reissig – Reissig says: “In God’s eyes, sin is sin. No amount of human ordering changes that for him. We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23). This sin is the great equalizer before him. There are no sins that are beyond his reach for cleansing and there are no sins that make us any better or worse in his eyes. Without Christ, the verdict is the same—guilty.”

 4. 4 Principles for Finishing WellBy Joe Keller – Keller says: “What are ways that we lean on our own understanding? What does it look like to trust in the Lord in those times without neglecting our responsibilities? What are some ways we can combat personal distractions to stay focused in the moment? What motivates you to work hard? How can you be an encouragement to others to work hard when it is hard to work hard?”

5. 10 Unforgettable Lessons on FatherhoodBy Ray Ortlund– Ortlund says: “In public, my dad was one of the great pastors of his generation. He served most notably for twenty fruitful years at Lake Avenue Congregational Church in Pasadena, where John and Noel Piper worshiped during their Fuller Seminary days. Dad and John were dear friends.”

Matt Manry is the Assistant Pastor at Life Bible Church in Canton, Georgia. He is currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Religion at Reformed Theological Seminary and a Masters of Arts in Christian and Classical Studies from Knox Theological Seminary.
