"I Kissed Dating Goodbye" Goes Liberal

C.J. Mahaney shares some reflections on a recent endorsement of I Kissed Dating Goodbye by a self-described liberal feminist professor at Boston University. The professor, writing in Christianity Today, observes among very liberal and immodest collegians a real hunger for resources on modesty. When they read Harris' book, they leave thinking positively about modesty and helped to see the crudeness of campus culture. What a thrilling thing to see the Lord use I Kissed Dating Goodbye in the lives of many young people in the university, the epicenter of cultural, sexual, and moral confusion.


A good brother here, Paul Thompson, has been grinding slowly through the book with about 20 twenty-somethings here in Cayman. In a sometimes decadent and sensuous "island paradise" culture, it's been praiseworthy to see the Lord use the book and Paul's love for the young people here to challenge long-standing, unexamined ideas here as well. I praise the Lord for moving Josh to write this and for making it fruitful in the lives of so many who need it.

Don't Waste Your Pulpit; Don't Waste Your Child's Education

Thanks Justin for these two videos.

Josh Harris on gospel humility shown toward others who make different education decisions than we make.



John Piper exhorting us not to waste our pulpits.



I'm really thankful for the way Josh used his pulpit, his pastoral comments, to encourage his people not to waste their gospel opportunity to think more highly of others than themselves. Excellent pastoral work for us to study and apply.
