The Meaning of "the World" and the Problem of Pleasure
The apostle John talks about “the world” in dramatically different ways. In John 3:16 we read that “God so loved the world…” but in his first epistle, John tells us “not to love the world or anything in the world.” How should we understand this and how does it influence our understanding of our attitudes toward pleasure? Dr. Gary Thomas presents a lecture on this topic. Redemption Seminary uses lecture content like this to produce studies that are the building blocks for its courses. Work through this short study and see if it helps with your daily growth in grace and understanding of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Helping Someone Overcome Shame and Despondence
Elyse Fitzpatrick takes us through a case study involving a homeschooling mother of five who has faithfully worked to educate her children and train them for the Lord. But the unthinkable has just happened. We will call her Madeline and her eldest daughter, who is 17, is pregnant. Madeline is crushed when she discovers that Hannah has been living a double life.
Elyse Fitzpatrick provides insights for helping people in situations like these overcome their shame and despondence by using gospel truths of forgiveness, belovedness, and adoption.
