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. Do You Believe in Common Grace?: Ray Ortlund – Ortlund says, “The glory and honor of human cultures — the music, the clothing, the literature, the dance, the languages, the customs, the humor, the traditions, and so forth — it will be cleansed and brought in forever. So Eric Clapton’s blues guitar, for example, is a preview of coming attractions.”

2. A Safe Place for Sexual Sinners: Phillip Holmes – Holmes says, “Sexual sin is one of the greatest threats to thriving and vibrant Christian living. Many Christians, especially young singles, are discouraged and defeated in their fight to overcome sexual sin.”

3. 5 Habits of Pastor Dad: Dayton Hartman – Hartman says, “Dear pastor, the most important flock you will ever shepherd number in the hundreds and they will never pay you. The most important people you’ve been given to shepherd are the members of your family, especially your children.”

4. Neighborhood Missionaries: Brad Hauer – Hauer says, “I can’t say how the Holy Spirit may be leading you to share the gospel with your neighbors, but in the context of many interactions with them, you will encounter times where the gospel will be particularly relevant.”

5. Four Ways to Deal with Anxiety as a Pastor: Erik Reed – Reed says, “I had just experienced my first panic-attack. It was brought on by a slow-building, but ever-increasing, internal war. Though I was unaware of it before the panic-attack, and was not very clear about it afterwards, I was suffering from anxiety.”
