Lots of talk in the press recently about marriage. I wanted to take a few moments to remind you of our position statement on marriage and divorce and make you aware of some helpful resources for thinking about faithfulness to Christ in our particular moment:

Tired of the Gay Marriage Debate? by Barnabas Piper

A blog post by Ed Stetzer
Helpful resources for seeking the biblical vision for marriage by the power of the Spirit:
Gospel-focused Marriage, audio by Tim & Kathy Keller
What Did You Expect? book by Paul Tripp
Excellent resource on learning discernment:
Being in the world but not of it by Denis Haack
Today’s catechism reading was
What happens after death to those not united to Christ by faith?
At the day of judgment they will receive the fearful but just sentence of condemnation pronounced against them. They will be cast out from the favorable presence of God, into hell, to be justly and grievously punished, forever.
— more info from Gospel Coalition, including a 3 minute teaching by Jon Lin.
— a basic bible study by JI Packer
Awesome time plunging into:
