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. The Gospel and Total DepravityBy Rick Phillips – Phillips says: “Thank God the believer in Christ is no longer totally depraved! We show our thanks and affirm our new status as Christ’s people through a changed life that obeys and pleases God.”

2. Faith and Mental IllnessBy Michael Horton – Horton notes: “And yet, when it comes to mental illness, we still don’t really believe that it is a medical problem. Many of us were raised in an era when ‘it’s all in your head’ meant that mental illnesses weren’t real—at least not as real as a broken arm. This tendency reflects not only a lack of appreciation for the rapid growth in medical diagnosis and treatment of such disorders, but a cluster of theological misunderstandings. So here are a few introductory theses to consider.”

3. The Problem With “The Problem’s Never At God’s End”By Andrew Wilson – Wilson says: “‘When people don’t get healed, the problem is never at God’s end.’ Pithy, popular, memorable, intuitive – but also misleading, and sometimes very unhelpful. Here are three reasons why.”

4. Praying for Our Children’s SalvationBy Joel Beeke– Beeke says: “There is nothing automatic about salvation. There is no room for mere presumption; Christian parenting is an enterprise of faith. God’s promise gives us a solid foundation for all our prayers and for all our hopes for our children.”

5. Killing the Lone RangerBy Stuart McCormack– McCormack notes: “We need to disciple within the context of gospel-centered communities centered on God and going in mission together. Community offers us accountability to grow in faith in a loving and supportive environment as we share life together in the spiritual and practical experiences and conversations we have.”
