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. Grieve and Recieve the Gift of Special Needs: Andrew Wilson – Wilson says, “Sometimes gifts are not quite what we wanted — and we need to allow ourselves the space to say so, while acknowledging that God knows what he is doing.”

2. 10 Things You Should Know About Satan: Sam Storms – Storms notes, “Satan is not eternal. He is a finite creature. He is, therefore, God’s Devil. Satan is not the equal and opposite power of God (contra dualism). His power is not infinite. He does not possess divine attributes. In sum, he is no match for God! At most, Satan is the equal and opposite power of the archangel Michael.”

3. The Reluctant Missionary: Ben Riggs – Riggs says, “Grace came from the extravagance of Heaven into the everydayness of Earth. And Grace knows the depth of a tomb so we can know the heights of the Kingdom. I’ve learned that Grace scares us from the stories we want, and surprises us with stories we could never ask for, nor imagine.”

4. No Adam, No Christ!: Nick Batzig – Batzig says, “Nevertheless, the connection between the creation account and the subsequent redemptive revelation form the internal witness of Scripture to the idea that the historicity and theology of the creation narrative is inseparably linked to the historicity and theology of the redemptive (i.e. new creation) revelation.”

5. When Honor Becomes Toxic: Dave Harvey – Harvey notes, “Toxic honor. You’ve seen it. I know I have. In fact I’ve done it. The public introductions that went way too long, the private praise that slid towards flattery. It’s honor overkill, and I carry the toxins. I’ve maneuvered conversations for a small slice of praise and instantly felt starved the moment praise fell silent.”
