It’s great to see discussions like these happening. While I may have worded the counsel provided in this article differently, I think it is still very useful. There’s also some good import from this article on how does our faith influence our art. https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/not-cliquish-silent-faith-work/ UPDATE: 20191017 A solid basic introduction to the Bible and friendship. Another good serieson friendship from TGC by Kevin DeYoung, which I utilized in some discipleship meetings with a student, is his “The Gift of Friendship and the Godliness of Good Friends”.

This blog post by Dr. Michael J. Kruger hits on issues of theology, politics, culture, and even the arts (or at least a performer of art). A good and humorous read explaining the importance of the need for a standard of truth over and against subjective claims! As Dr. Kruger mentions, you can find the consistent teaching of the Church laid out in one convenient work of history here. This book sits on my shelf waiting for a good read.
