"How great is [God's] goodness, and how great His beauty!" - Zechariah 9:17
David Powlison describes Jay Adams' foundational work in biblical counseling, and how the movement has grown since. Excellent principles described well. This is a free PDF download of the editorial for the Journal of Biblical Counseling - great resource.
I picked up an old First Things issue I had never gotten around to. R.R. Reno is great on what freedom really is.
"In post-Obergefell America, Evangelicals and other orthodox Christians will be unable to outrun our freakishness. That is no reason for panic. Some will suggest that a Christian sexual ethic puts the churches on the 'wrong side of history.' Well, we've been on the wrong side of history since A.D. 33. The 'right side of history' was the Eternal City of Rome. And then the right side of history was the French Revolution. And then the right side of history was scientific naturalism and state socialism. And yet, there stands Jesus still, on the wrong side of history but at the right hand of the Father."
Russell Moore, "Evangelicals Won't Cave," First Things, Oct 2015, pg 30.
