For your attention

1. Great Commission hospitality – David Mathis, executive editor for Desiring God, shows from the New Testament how hospitality can be an important way in our day of helping fulfill the church’s Great Commission from Jesus. This important post can help us understand the opportunity we have to use our homes for a gospel purpose.

2. Is Proverbs 22:6 a promise? – Christian George, an assistant professor of biblical and theological studies at Oklahoma Baptist University, uses Proverbs 22:6 – “Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it” – as a launching pad to explain why we should not interpret proverbs to be promises. His insight on interpreting the Bible’s wisdom literature could help save you from “legalism, moralism and disillusionment.”

3. Reasons for suffering – New England pastor Jared Wilson provides some scriptural reasons for our suffering in his latest book, Gospel Deeps: Reveling in the Excellencies of Jesus. At this link, blogger Justin Taylor outlines Wilson’s 10 reasons from his book.

4. Jesus-drenched churches – Matt Chandler, lead teaching pastor at The Village Church in the Dallas metroplex, gives some insight into what marks a church that is Jesus- or gospel-centered. Chandler answers questions from Matt Smethurst, an associate editor for The Gospel Coalition, based on a new book he co-authored, Creature of the Word: The Jesus-Centered Church.
