Applied Theology
Anthony Carter describes the practical nature of our doctrine of justification. It is unfortunate that many may know the doctrine in their heads but struggle to feel it in their hearts. If anyone has been in involved in any sort of relationship, for any length of time, this article The Cross and Self Justification is a must read. It will pin you down and force you to look upon the work of Christ in justifying sinners by faith.
Social/Politics
I was very thankful for this article The Forever Recession. In it, Seth Godin discusses the implications of the current recession as well as those of the "forever recession." Technology and pragmatic consumerism is taking us to places we have never been as a culture. To act as if this is not happening, and to build strategies accordingly, is like building sand castles right at the shoreline. All of the efforts are soon whipped completely out, because we fail to recognize and account for our current context.
Pornography
Al Mohler gives a sobering description of two types of men in our present over-sexualized, pornographic culture. Take the time to read this. I would also consider discussing it with young men that are within your circle of influence.
Funny
What can I say? I love pranks!
