Today’s Links // Serving Latin America, Advice for College Students, Daily Killing Sin, North Koreans Turning to Christ

A new project of mine is running a Spanish blog similar to what you see here at Anchored in Christ. Visit AncladoenCristo.org and follow me on Facebook and Twitter. (This new blog shouldn’t dramatically impact my writing here since much of it will be translations or curated content.)

I love Latin America and want to do all I can for Kingdom advance there. I’m hoping this blog will be a vehicle to connect with pastors and leaders for LRI’s training in biblical exposition. We’re seeing a movement ignite in Ecuador, I’d love to see God’s Word go forth in power from every pulpit in Latin America.

Join me in prayer to glorify God and bless His church through this new initiative!

I wasn’t going to link to another DeYoung post on Game of Thrones, but his answers critics of his first post was too good to leave off. His response to one detractor who said, “Stop judging and shaming!”:

Judgmentalism is a spirit of censorious nitpicking. Making moral evaluations is what Christians do all the time, like arguing that a television show is not appropriate or that a blog post is judgmental.
