Denny Burk responds to Christianity Today’s editorial against spanking in CT Goes on the Record against Spanking.
Learning (Good and Bad) from Job’s Counselors
Pastor Paul Tautges’ Counseling One Another is always a “can’t miss” blog. Every post is valuable. Today I link you to a two part series on learning (good and bad) from Job’s counselors. Part One: How to Be a Miserable Counselor. Part Two: The Comforting Power of Quiet Presence.
Self-Esteem Is Out
It’s not often that I link you to the Washington Post, but today I’ll make an exception. Read this fascinating article on how educators are moving away from a (failed) generation of “self-esteem.” It’s a clunky title, but a good article: In Schools, Self-esteem Boosting Is Losing Favor to Rigor, Finer-tuned Praise.
20 Words of Wisdom for Theologians
Even if you don’t consider yourself a “theologian,” and even if the very word “theology” terrifies you, this two-part post by Nate Claiborne is well worth ready. Nate summaries 20 lessons that theologian John Frame believes young theologians would be wise to learn. Read Part One and Part Two.
