Resource Round Up: Black Lives Matter, Racism, and Truth

I tried to wait a lengthy portion of time before posting on this issue. Wisdom dictates careful analysis and patient prayer, not rash activism and emotional outbursts.

I am not sure I have waited long enough. But here are some resources that myself have found helpful during this time. Right action must be preceded by right thinking. Right thinking is always preceded by truth.

Weekly Roundup: COVID-19, Part 2

With the world practicing social distancing to prevent spreading COVID-19—which, for anyone not living in 2020, basically means we’re all stuck in our houses—lots of Christian bloggers have taken to writing.

Weekly Roundup: COVID-19, Part 1

The whole world is talking, writing, posting, worrying, preparing, and responding to the COVID-19, also called Coronavirus Disease 2019. This post is not meant to share medical information about the virus, or discuss what ought to be done, but instead to curate some of the pastoral responses and the encouraging stories that don’t make it on the major news outlets.

May we respond to such a time as this with faith, not fear, with courage and trust, not despair, for our gracious God is with us and reigns as King forevermore.

This week’s articles are all about lament: what it is, it’s importance, and how to do so. May you be freed to cry out to God as His beloved child.

Weekly Roundup: Complementarianism

If you’ve been anywhere near the Christian Twitter world in the past couple of months, you would know that there’s a complementarian crisis. So, for this week’s roundup, I read through 9Marks’ Journal —Complementarianism: A Moment of Reckoning.
