Here’s some articles that I found interesting this week.

The Pastor’s PTSD[1] – “My wife, Judy, and I know what it is like to live through a season of church conflict and not be OK, even after the trouble subsides. And we have found the idea of PTSD to be a helpful analogy to understand what we have been through.”

Eight Traits of Church Bullies[2] – “Church bullies are a problem in many churches. Here are eight ways to spot them in your church.”

Have Lots of Children. It’s Good for the Planet.[3] – “The biggest spikes in population growth in our history coincide with the greatest growth in wealth and innovation for a good reason.”

J. Alec Motyer (1924-2016)[4] – An author and Bible scholar who I’ve been blogging about for the past few months went home to be with the Lord this week.

Report Debunks “Transgender” Label for Kids[5] – A stunning new report on sexuality and gender exposes the shaky science behind the LGBT “born that way” narrative and the push to label young kids as “transgender.”
