I was asked to give a lecture next week at a church in Minnesota on what I see as the most pressing issues facing Christians. Here's my rundown I'm working on for my lecture.
— The beginning of life: Reproduction and human dignity.
— The manufacture of life: Genetic engineering and designer children.
— The simulation of life: Artificial intelligence and digital personhood.
— The enhancement of life: Transhumanism and human augmentation.
— The embodiment of life: Biological sex and bodily identity.
— The commodification of life: Surrogacy and reproductive markets.
— The manipulation of life: Surveillance, algorithms, and human agency.
— The extension of life: Longevity and the pursuit of immortality.
— The quality of life: Disability, dependency, and the meaning of dignity.
— The end of life: Assisted suicide and euthanasia.
In a word: bioethics.
The central moral question of our age is increasingly whether human nature is a gift to be received, enhanced beyond our native capacities, or a problem to be solved.
Christians need to be prepared to answer it. I am confident that our doctrine of the imago Dei, coupled with the Christian natural law tradition, provides a sufficient basis and bulwark to guide civilization, if civilization will entertain them.
What encourages me to hold fast? The unchangeable character of God--it is the "sure and steadfast anchor of the soul." (Hebrews 6:17-19)
“What a joyful spectacle is this to Satan and his faction, to see those that are separated from the world fall in pieces among themselves! Our discord is our enemy’s melody.”
- Richard Sibbes
“Far better than the sweet harmonies of a few trained singers is the rough and hale sound of pardoned criminals, delighting with one voice in their Savior.
The most beautiful instrument in any Christian service is the sound of the congregation singing.”
- Jonathan Leeman
“Church should be a training school in dying to self…. The consumeristic mindset is so deadly. You should approach church thinking about the Lord Jesus first, your neighbors second, and yourself last.”
- Isaac Adams
Whether or not you do what this article suggests, I’m curious:
1) Did you read it all?
2) What do you think about it?

“The glory of the gospel is this: the one from whom we need to be saved is the one who has saved us.” (R. C. Sproul)
Amazing grace, indeed!

Marriage is. . . where fun goes to die.
Actually, the data says the opposite. At every decade from your 20s to 60s, about 1-in-2 married people call life "exciting." Never-married adults start close (45%) but fade to 33% by their 60s.
Marriage clearly doesn't kill the fun.
"Our doubts do not destroy God's love, nor does our faith create it. It originates in the very nature of God, who is love, and it flows to us through our union with His beloved Son."
- Jerry Bridges
Michigan should have lost that game. Great throw and incredible catch at the end, but they did not deserve to win.

Sometimes the only difference between a stable, mature, and wise Christian and an unsteady, immature, and foolish Christian is that the former has benefited from hundreds of good sermons and thousands of good quiet times while the latter has not.
"Vice is a monster of so frightful mien
As to be hated needs but to be seen;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace."
Alexander Pope

A “high view of Scripture” involves not just quoting the Bible when it’s convenient, but submitting to it when it’s not.
“It is impossible to answer the question ‘What is a Christian?’ without ending up in a conversation about the church.”
- Mark Dever
Yikes.
This is always true but not always easy.
