5 top Christian blog posts of the week—on forgiveness, speaking in tongues, and post by Al Mohler, Paul Tripp, and more. 

The Christian Leader in the Digital Age 

Dr. Al Mohler explains that it’s well past time we stopped making distinctions between the digital world and the “real world.” The digital world is real and Christian leaders must become an active, positive, gospel-centered part of it. As Dr. Mohler explains: 

“Content is king. People come to your Web site because they are looking for information. Make sure they can find it, and make certain it is worth finding. Your Web presence advertises to the world who you are, what your organization is all about, and the seriousness of your commitment to that mission. The information on your site must be up to date, regularly updated, and worthy of attention. If your Internet presence looks stale, visitors will assume that your organization is stale as well. 

As a leader, consider establishing your own Internet presence as a part of your organization’s Internet site. If this seems self-aggrandizing, just recognize that this comes with the territory when you are a leader. Visitors want to know what you think, how you communicate your organization’s mission, and whether you inspire trust. 

You have a message to communicate, and there is absolutely no virtue in failing to communicate that message. Make it serve the mission of your organization and drive visitors into its Web pages. Offer good content, and visitors will come back again. Let it grow old, and they will go elsewhere. This means a loss for your organization and its mission. Never forget that.”

You’re Not a Superhero 

Paul Tripp shares what we all know, but with a pointed application. 

“When you admit your limits, you’re a humble and restful person. You’re humble enough to admit weakness, always open to learning. And you’re restful, because you know that control is in the hands of God—and not yours. Let me encourage you here—there’s only one Superhero in the Bible. His name is Jesus Christ. Every other man and woman documented in Scripture was a failure. Rest and peace is found when you abandon control and admit your limits.”

Are Tongues Real Languages? 

Nathan Busenitz begins a blog series where he will be asking and answering the question: 

“Has the church, historically, been right to conclude that the gift of tongues in the New Testament consists of the supernatural ability to speak in foreign languages previously unknown to the speaker? Or is the modern charismatic movement right to conclude that the gift of tongues encompasses something other than cognitive foreign languages?”
