What I’ve Been Reading – April 2, 2022

By

  • The good news of your God-given limits – Acton Institute PowerBlog– “McGever argues that the basic problem with the productivity genre is not that it doesn’t adequately account for our limits. It’s that productivity authors “fail to account for theological anthropology—or to put it simply, they don’t consider what it means for human beings to be created by a Creator.”
  • The Centrality of Communication in the Missionary Task – OutreachMagazine.com – “Evangelism is the most basic and radical ministry possible to a human being. This is true not because the spiritual is more important than the physical, but because the eternal is more important than the temporal.”
  • Arianna Huffington On Cancel Culture and the Need for Redemption – “But true change at the systemic level has to be accompanied by change at the personal level. As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn put it, “the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either — but right through every human heart.” Dr. King knew that, which is why he had made it clear that to change society, “you’ve got to change the heart.”
  • How Suffering Can Save Us All – Warrior Poet Supply Co – “Our primitive selves see suffering as a threat to our survival. But really, comfort, not suffering, is what’s causing us to crumble and melt like snowflakes. The right kinds of suffering, though, make us tough as nails—physically and spiritually. The right kinds of suffering can save us all.”
