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. Not That Kind of Homosexuality?: By Kevin DeYoung – DeYoung says: “To suggest that only certain kinds of homosexual practice (the bad kinds) were known in the ancient world is a claim that flies in the face of many Greek texts.”

2. Rescuing Christian Masculinity: By Alastair Roberts – Roberts notes: “Behind all of these things, it seems to me, there lies a deep crisis in contemporary masculinity, which in turn is a symptom of a crisis of contemporary society. Unfortunately, few people have put their finger upon this.”

3. Memorize the Mind of God: By David Mathis – Mathis says: “You’ve heard the pitch for Scripture memory a thousand times. You’re persuaded the benefits would be incalculable, and that there may be no better use of your time than to hide God’s word in your heart and store it away for future use. But you’ve tried your hand at it again and again, and just never got the magic working.”

4. Does Old-Earth Creationism Undermine the Gospel? A Response to Kevin Bauder: By Gavin Ortlund – Ortlund says: “I would like to offer a few reflections on Bauder’s piece because it touches on some important issues. I’m not sure how many people will read his article and be influenced by it, but I do know that there are many people in our culture, both in and out of the body of Christ, who have the impression that science and the Bible tell fundamentally incompatible stories of origins.”

5. Is Christianity in Britain in Terminal Decline?: By Mike Gilbert-Smith – Gilbert-Smith says: “According to many of the widely published and accepted figures, both church attendance and professing Christianity in Britain are in rapid decline.”
