5 to Live By: 5 Top Christian Blog Posts of the Week 

5 top Christian blog posts of the week—posts on prayer, freedom from porn, nouthetic counseling, worship, & more. 

Have You Been Burned by a NANC Counselor? 

The National Association of Nouthetic Counselors have launched a new blog site. One of their first posts is by their incoming Executive Director, Heath Lambert. He wades into an important topic. There are some who believe the counsel they have received by people presenting themselves as NANC counselors has been harmful. Heath has five responses to that in Have You Been Burned by a NANC Counselor?  

NANC Proposed Name Change 

Keeping with NANC’s new blog site…perhaps you’ve been wondering, “What in the world is a NANC!?” Heath Lambert is glad you asked. Read his post about NANC Proposed Name Change and find out what the new proposed name is. 

How Grace Sets Us Free from Porn 

Pornography can be enslaving and life-dominating. We often respond to the temptation toward porn with more effort. Luke Gilkerson interviews Heath Lambert (did not mean for today’s 5 to Live By to be the Heath Show) on how grace-inspired identity in Christ can lead to grace-energized victory over pornography in How Grace Sets Us Free from Porn.  

Pray Like a Puritan 

We hear all sorts of viewpoints on the Puritans and all sorts of things about their beliefs. However, they were anything but just theologians. One major example of that is in their prayer life. Learn from Tim Challies how to Pray Like a Puritan.  

God as the Center of Attention 

Titus Curtis, worship pastor at Faith Church in Lafayette, Indiana writes about making God the center of our attention in worship—rather than our preferences being the center of our attention. Learn more in Making God the Center of Congregational Worship.
