Worth A Look (Spring 2026)
The Worth A Look feature in the blog is meant to bring helpful resources to your attention. Here are three that are worth a look:
Considering Our Gatherings: Why Sunday Worship Is “Required” by Ihor Zhakunets (podcast w/audio)
Excerpt -- "This does not mean there won’t be emergencies, illnesses, or unexpected events that disrupt our schedule. But because this gathering is “required,” we joyfully treat it as such. As Nate Pickowicz wrote, “Church should be your excuse for missing everything else.” A helpful (though not perfect) rule of thumb is this: if I wouldn’t skip a day of work for it, I probably shouldn’t skip the Sunday morning church gathering for it."
Freedom From Porn by Matt Timmons (a new book Lucerna Press)
Though lust has been a problem since the fall of man in Eden, the current availability of pornography has made the external temptation to lust ubiquitous—with snares waiting at every turn. The majority of men and an ever-rising contingent of women have been ensnared by pornography. But for the Christian, freedom from porn is possible and available in Jesus Christ. This short book is a biblical guide to such freedom. Matt Timmons, a pastor and biblical counselor, outlines the key elements God uses to set his people free from sin.
Easter Isn't Pagan by Wes Huff (video)
"It's commonly asserted that many of our modern Easter traditions — including the name of the celebration itself — have pagan origins. This idea, although popular on the internet and in popular shows, when actually dug into (much like the accusation around the pagan origins of Christmas) really start to fall apart."
