Amplify Not a Fool by Responding to His Folly 

Concerning social media, Tim Challis notes, “This is not like a system of weight and counterweight in which, as one rises, the other necessarily falls. No, these rise together, so the fool grows the reach of the wise man and the wise man grows the reach of the fool. Social media offers twin powers: The power of having a voice yourself and the power of giving a voice to others. Both must be stewarded with the greatest of care.”

The Great Omission

The “great omission” that Jen Wilkins highlights is biblical illiteracy. He laments, “Our lack of biblical literacy compounds into theological illiteracy. When we don’t know our Bibles, it follows that we will also lose our theological moorings.”

The Art of Clear Teaching and Preaching

“Some people have the unfortunate gift of making simple things complicated. Others leave hard things sounding hard. But the art of the best teachers and preachers is to take complicated things and make them simple. Simple, but not simplistic. They don’t reduce truths of substance to something trite or superficial. Instead, they help you see much more clearly the true depth and beauty of truths that previously seemed obscure or inaccessible.”
