Heart-idolatry can stem from virtually any desire—even those that appear "good."

Which means, as fallen sinners, husbands and wives get a front row seat to each other's exposed sin on a regular basis.
In this episode, Brent and Janet discuss how healthy marriages should be a safe space — not for sin to persist— but one where sinners can receive compassion and help from each other as they fight sin together.

Onward in the FaithThe Only Solution to Our Mental Health Struggles (Christians & Psychology #7)We finish our series on Christians & Psychology by answering the most important question - What, or who, is the answer to our problems? Once we've properly interpreted our problems, it's important to seek a solution that will address the root issues we face. Jesus is that answer, but not in a lazy, "Pray more to feel better" way. Jesus is the ultimate solution to everything related to our sin, whether it's clearing our guilt before God or cleansing us from a prideful and idolatrous heart by setting our focus on Him.

So Very Wrong About Games#151: Dogs of WarToo much news! So much news, in fact, that we had to cut some news. Some news, though news-y, will keep until next week. The key is to wrap the roots of the news in damp paper towel, put the news in a plastic bag, and put the bag in the fridge. The news will keep up to a couple weeks that way, whereas it would have become limp news on the counter in as little as a day.

So Very Wrong About Games#141: Lost Ruins of ArnakThe unofficial motto of SVWAG has always been, "stop trying to make fetch happen." Similarly, you can't just make up words out of thin air--it's not like they're holidays or anything that can be conjured ex nihilo (Happy Arkhipov Day!). What's an Arnak, anyway? Can you lose ruins of something that never existed? I suppose a fantasy is a good pretext to give us an arm's length distance from generations of pith-decked looters and graverobbers. Relatedly, Walker desperately wants to coin the term "Azteckian," but Mark's not having it.Games Played Last Week: 01:32 -Quantum (Eric Zimmerman, Funforge, 2013)2020-10-271h 02
