Curated links for your weekend reading:

[The Gospel Coalition 2020 Book Awards](https://go.dashhouse.com/2VmB?ref=dashhouse.com)

> Congratulations to the winners of our The Gospel Coalition 2020 Book Awards.

[In Praise of Slow Reading](https://go.dashhouse.com/2W19?ref=dashhouse.com)

> It’s fun to listen to a book closely rather than skimming for highlights you can tweet or blog about. Reading should be pleasurable, and slow reading is, for me anyway, the way I get the most pleasure from it.

[How a Former Radical Sparked the New Calvinist Movement](https://go.dashhouse.com/2VmP?ref=dashhouse.com)

> “If we try to take short cuts, to do ministry and to provide seeming relevance to our culture, we’re not doing them or us any favors, because what we need is a bigger vision of God and his holiness and his Word.”

[The Biggest Threat Faced by the Church](https://go.dashhouse.com/2VmK?ref=dashhouse.com)

> Tyranny is always a danger, but tyranny is not the biggest threat faced by the church in the U.S. or any other nation.

[Why Biblical Theology Is Needed for Preaching and Teaching](https://go.dashhouse.com/2VmS?ref=dashhouse.com)

> Biblical theology provides a map to help us understand the overall unity of the Bible and identify a central message to the Bible, rather than just a bunch of unrelated stories and themes.

[What to Pray Before You Preach](https://go.dashhouse.com/2VmI?ref=dashhouse.com)

> In this article, I’m going to give you some ideas to pray for your sermon, some from me and some from other preachers.

[Balanced Principles from Luther’s “Whether One May Flee From A Deadly Plague”](https://go.dashhouse.com/2VmR?ref=dashhouse.com)

> I decided to read and study Luther’s article myself. As I suspected, on this subject Luther spoke with much more balance than his modern admirers often reflect in their quotes from him.

[Is Ministry Incarnational?](https://go.dashhouse.com/2VmG?ref=dashhouse.com)

> Do Christians engage in incarnational ministry? not exactly.

My [column](https://go.dashhouse.com/straightpaths?ref=dashhouse.com) this week at The Gospel Coalition Canada: [When Scripture’s Teaching on Sex Seems Implausible](https://link.dashhouse.com/tduAz?ref=dashhouse.com)

> Let’s work to show that the Christian view of sex is both plausible and beautiful in our own churches and beyond.
