A La Carte (4/5)

The Resolutions Poster – I like this–a poster that lists Jonathan Edwards’ resolutions. “In addition to spurring you on to good works by displaying the timeless tenets of one of America’s most famous preachers, Jonathan Edwards, it will also help other Christians pursue a more godly life, as all proceeds will be used to pay for tuition, books and other education-related expenses for fellow believers wishing to attend the prestigious Ligonier Academy.”

Desktop Wallpaper – In case you missed it on the weekend, here are some free wallpapers to pretty up your desktop (or iPhone or iPad or…) this month.

KJV@400 – I haven’t been able to listen to these messages yet, but they sound intriguing–Leland Ryken discussing the impact of the KJV 400 years later.

Many more foreigners were injured and there are reports of other deaths in other incidents. See this vivid account.”

Mormon Prophets – An interesting article from USA Today. “Mormon President Thomas S. Monson, his two right-hand men and 12 apostles will take to the podium at this weekend’s General Conference and offer sermons that many Mormons will treat like faxes from God.”

The Hiding PlaceThe Hiding Place is this month’s free download at ChristianAudio.

None but God knows what an abyss of corruption is in my heart.

—Robert Murray M’Cheyne

In this world, few see the conflict between “trans-affirming” and “pro-woman.” And the same person using mushrooms to aid spiritual “connection” tells us to “trust the science” about human…

    A Simple Way To Ensure You Use AI Well (And Not Poorly) 

    Every new technology introduces both benefits and drawbacks to its users and to the wider culture. The world being what it is, there are always plusses and minuses, so that even as a new tech gives with one hand, it takes away with the other.

  • Duty

    For Our Good, Not For Our Bondage

    Matthew Henry once said that when we are out of the way of duty, we are in the way of temptation. Yet Jerry Bridges warns that the spiritual disciplines are privileges to be used, not duties to be performed. So are they duties or are they not?
