Links I like (5/4/13)

The most important type of church. Alistair Begg said it’s a Bible-centered one. Nicole Cottrell disagrees.

4 ways Christians are getting the gay debate wrong. Jason Collins’ recent announcement sparked lots of talk. Here’s a view by Justin Lee, author of Torn (a book I highly recommend for Christians read to better understand our gay brothers and sisters).

How to stop getting paralyzed and start making better decisions. By Jeff Goins.

Silencing techniques. If you’ve ever silenced anyone with one of these techniques, stop. If you’ve ever been silenced by someone, next time speak up about it.

Christians, we must love our Muslim neighbors, too. Josh Graves took some heat for this—especially in light of the Tsarnaev brothers’ recent atrocity—but he speaks truth.

Lisa, thanks for the links you posted.
I was esp. appreciative of the one by Justin Lee.
This past week with all the media coverage over Jason Collins has been a tender time for me.
I was in his ex-fiancees shoes a bit over 35 years ago and have been revisiting that time.
It has not been painful, although it was "then" but we walked through it together.

I'd like to read the book and I hope that many people will.
It is a subject that runs deeper than most people think about beyond a blink.

I appreciate you sharing that piece of your story, Lynn. I'm sure it was a painful time for both of you. :-( But it gives you a measure of empathy that many probably can't relate to. I do hope you (and many others) will be able to read the book. Justin writes very balanced and compassionately, sharing his personal story as well as providing facts in general.

Hi Lisa,

Wow, number four grabbed my attention just now since our church is recovering from a split from a few years ago. Interesting and convicting. Thanks.

Re your comment on my post "Running in My Head Like a Memory," I would be honored to have you share my post on your "Hide His Word" facebook page this week. Thanks.

Have a great week.

I hear you about the silencing techniques. I've seen it happen over and over in church as well--not necessarily intentionally, but effectively nonetheless. :-( That's why that post caught my attention.

Hope you have a great week, too!
