Credo’s Cache

Each week we will be highlighting important resources. Check back each Friday to see what we have dug up for you. From this week’s cache:

1. Avoiding Short Lived Ministry: By Kevin DeYoung – DeYoung notes: “A huge part of ministry is constantly training up others, releasing others, and empowering others, so that they can replicate what you do or replace you when you’re done.”

2. What Is Conscience?: By Joe Carter – Carter notes: “This is why to protect our conscience and keep it in working order we must preach the gospel to ourselves daily. We must call on the Holy Spirit to convict us of sin, lead us to righteousness, and remind us of the judgment that we are spared by our union with Christ Jesus.”

3. You’re Going to Die (and So Might Your Dreams): By Jared Wilson – Wilson says:  “As great as you can make yourself, as many wonderful things as you can accomplish in your lifetime — even religious things — it will all be a blip on the radar of eternity.”

4. Legalist!: By Dan Doriani – Doriani says:  “So by all means let us strive to love doctrine and holiness in equal measure. And let us love our Lord all the more, for he loves, forgives, and restores us when we miss that mark.”

5. Spiritual Schizophrenia: By Paul Tripp – Tripp notes:  “Is there somehow, someway, however slight, that a separation exists between your reality and your spirituality? Pray that God would close that gap in your life.”
