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 Media, Evangelicals, and Me: On Being a Pessimist in a Progressive Age: By Matthew Lee Anderson – Anderson says: “The paradox which I face, and which I cannot escape, is that in bearing the message I engage in the same vices. The messenger is, in this case, highly unsuited for the task he discerns necessary. Such are, perhaps, the deepest and most profound sources for my pessimism.”

2. This Argument Has Reached Retirement Age: By Brain Mattson – Mattson notes: “Readers can judge for themselves the merits of these things, but there is one thing I can no longer do: sit idly by and let Enns continue to trot out his argument that Exodus 12:8-9 and Deuteronomy 16:5-7 contradict each other.”

3. What is Reformation Day All About?: By Robert Rothwell – Rothwell says: “As we consider his importance this Reformation Day, let us equip ourselves to be knowledgeable proclaimers and defenders of biblical truth. May we be eager to preach the Gospel of God to the world and thereby spark a new reformation of church and culture.”

4. Open the Door to Halloween: By Jonathan Parnell – Parnell says: “It is easy for us to get locked into Christian bubbles and soon lose contact with those who desperately need to know the good news. And it’s easy to mistake sanctification to mean separate from the world instead of separated for God’s work in the world.”

5. Recovering from Evangelism: By Jonathan Dodson – Dodson says: “Evangelism is something many Christians are trying to recover from. The word stirs up memories of a bygone era—Christendom—where rehearsed presentations, awkward door-to-door witnessing, a steady flow of tracts, and conversions in revival-like settings were commonplace.”

6. Reformation Brazil, Part 1: By White Horse Inn – “On this program Michael Horton will talks with Augustus Nicodemus Lopes about the opportunities for Reformation in the country of Brazil.”

7. Reformation Brazil, Part 2: By White Horse Inn – “During the second half of the program, Mike talks with Heber Campos Jr. about the state of Brazilian Christianity.”
