You may have noticed that the bottom of our Faith Bible Church‘s main website has a little section called “Worth Reading.” I try to keep that regularly updated with great articles that I find online or that have been sent to me. But the reality is that its getting woefully out-of-date!

I tend to read blogs by Kevin DeYoung, Justin Taylor, Tim Challies, Al Mohler, Thabiti Anyabwile and a few others. To be clear, I don’t read everything that they write, but I skim the titles and read the ones that pique my interest. The best of those get shared to FBC’s main page.

But I’m far behind. There’s too much to share and too little space. So here’s a roundup #1 of some of the most helpful articles I read in the last month.
