Ecclesiastical Separation
Nearly four centuries ago the Puritan William Perkins drew a useful distinction. He suggested that there is a working difference between error and heresy. He wrote that error of itself is no ground for breaking fellowship, that any doctrinal discrepancy between two Christians means that one or both are in error.

Husbands and Fathers…
I picked up a Pandigital Digital Photo Frame at Bed Bath & Beyond this weekend. It’s pretty nice – an 8″ frame that has 1GB of internal memory, plus plays MP3s and AVIs.
The second best part of it was the cost – it will only be $34 after rebate. They’re $80, plus if you have one of those 20% off coupons that BB&B sends to everyone on the planet, your in-store cost is only $64. Then you get a $30 mail-in rebate form. Sweet!
The best part, though?
It sits on my desk at work and every time I look at it I am reminded how much I love my wife and kids, all day long. You can’t put a price tag on that. I recommend something like this for every husband and father out there.

Between Two Worlds: The Cross and Criticism
“A believer is one who identifies with all that God affirms and condemns in Christ’s crucifixion.”
In other words, in Christ’s cross I agree with God’s judgment of me and I agree with God’s justification of me. Both have a radical impact on how we take and give criticism.
