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. When Jesus Said Farewell: By Collin Hansen – Hansen says: “We Christians sometimes buy into a lie. We assume that if we’re not like those hateful, judgmental people who call themselves Christians, then the world will see that we’re actually pretty reasonable folks and want to follow Jesus.”

2. The Assumption We Cannot Afford: By Jen Wilkin – Wilkin notes: “As I read their notes joy always trumps discouragement. Celebration overturns grief. Thankfulness overrides frustration. And because the need is great, I commit myself to wade through another stack of commentaries, to write another curriculum on another book of the Bible, to give another year to building the house of Bible literacy in which the furnishings of doctrine and other worthy topics can take their rightful places.”

3. Jesus’ Thirst and Our Spiritual Rehydration: By William Boekestein – Boekestein says: “Jesus died thirsty, but He arose refreshed. In His suffering, Jesus thirsted after the full restoration of His Father’s fellowship, that the smile of His Father’s face might be turned toward Him and His people again.”

4. Christ the King in His Suffering: By William VanDoodewaard – VanDoodewaard says: “Understanding more of Christ’s kingship displayed through his sufferings and death should profoundly deepen our love for him. As his children we desire to obey His good commands, pursuing holiness by His grace to His glory.”

5. Silent Wednesday: By Jeremy Writebol – Writebol notes: “So how much so does our Heavenly Father care for us, even when he isn’t giving us the answers or the information. Even when he walks us into the wilderness without any knowledge of why we are there, we have to remember that he is utterly trustworthy.”
