Read the USA Today story of a Job-like pastor in Haiti: “In 2003, a year and a half after his wedding, Sainton’s wife became ill and was hospitalized. She tested positive for HIV. He took the test, too, and tested positive. The news, he says, came as a shock.” …and pray for him. (HT: @PastorMark)

Happy 448th Birthday, Heidleberg Catechism!
Umm, what’s a Heidleberg? Great question. The Heidleberg Catechism (1563) is a commentary on (1) the Apostles’ Creed, (2) the Ten Commandments, and (3) the Lord’s Prayer. It is a systematic collection of the most important truths of our faith. It is also one of the most widely circulated books in human history. In this article, Fred Sanders calls it “one of the best pieces of theology ever written” and explains why you should read it. [note: ignore the title's typo; it is 448, not 446] (HT: JT)
