Is the Church the true Israel?
It's R.C. Sproul vs. John MacArthur in the epic rap battle that they surely must have had at one of those Ligonier conferences back in the day...
But who would build the roads?
One of the justifications for our ever expanding government is the notion, "If the government doesn't do it, who will?" That was the justification for the takeover of everything from education to healthcare, garbage pickup to mail delivery, and so much more. I live in a city in which garbage pickup is done by private enterprise, which I couldn't have imagined anyone but the government doing... until I saw it being done better by a business. So this article, about how some roads were built long ago by private citizens, is an exercise in imagination – who knows how small we might be able to shrink our inefficient government if only we started considering what might well be possible without them?
Dying to give
Aaron Renn with why parents should financially bless their children now, and not wait until after the funeral: "A dollar at 25 can change a destiny. A dollar at 55 barely moves the needle."
That's true, but of course there is some middle path that needs to sought here – too much help too early might amount to spoiling your 20-year-old's drive. Too little help, when it was yours to offer, might mean they are stopped from achieving what they otherwise might have been able to do with your help.
4 sermons many churches won't preach
Worth noting, even if you go to a conservative church where these will be heard, because the pressure to shut up about these still exists even there – the world presses in.
20 US Democratic presidential contenders are asked whether a man can become a woman...
...and guess how many said "no"? It's getting to a point in the US where the Left doesn't want to stand too strongly for trans ideology. But they also won't speak against it. Only one was willing, and even he still wanted parents to be allowed to poison their kids with cross-gender hormones that – he himself acknowledges – won't transition anyone. The GOP is certainly not God's Own Party, but it's not a bit of slander to say the Democrats are indeed the Devil's very own, and this is just one more example.
Is morality subjective?
Lying is wrong, but if there is a Nazi soldier at your door asking whether you are hiding Jews, lying can be right. So does that mean morality is subjective? The Christian knows that's not so – we aren't lying just for kicks, but because we are acting out of love for our neighbor. God's Law is still the objective standard for our actions.
But even the moral relativist will get tripped up here. Their case for subjectivism just doesn't stand.

“...even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” - Matthew 20:28

God’s provision to pay the widow’s debt points us to His payment for our debt of sin. It wasn’t just a widow back in Elisha’s day who had a debt so large >
