Music: Jars of Clay just released a new album and AOL is offering the full version for free via streaming audio. You can get it here or here (the second seems to work best for Firefox).

Music Bonus: And while we are on the subject of music, don’t forget that Derek Webb has begun offering his latest album (Mockingbird) for free. It’s a great album and well worth owning. You can get it at freederekwebb.com.

Blog: “Pulpit Magazine,” the online magazine of the Shepherd’s Fellowship, has just moved. It looks like it will be updated daily and will be well worth reading.

Book: The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is giving away John Piper’s book “Don’t Waste Your Life.” You can’t beat free!

Parents, Cuddle Your Children – This is my takeaway from a rather interesting article: “No matter how obvious the observation, how eternal the topic, how great the works of literature that have tackled any given theme, or how insightful the philosophers who have studied a matter, the modern mind cannot fathom reaching a conclusion without…

A Common Contradiction Between Belief and Practice

Many Christians experience a contradiction between what we believe to be true about the Bible and our actual practice of reading the Bible. Often our theology is superior to our habits. We profess that the Bible is infallible, inerrant, authoritative, and sufficient, but we then neglect it in our daily lives. We agree with David…

Would You Consider Supporting My Work?

One of my great desires has always been to freely give away as much as possible. I intend for it to always remain entirely free for all who visit. While for obvious reasons this can’t happen when it comes to books, I’ve made it my goal to ensure that everything else has been freely and widely…

Modesty Requires Looking Away

The plane reached the terminal in Recife, Brazil and the ground crew opened the door. I have been through more airports than I can count1 and find they all kind of blur together—jetways, corridors, escalators, luggage belts. But for some reason, I remembered this one from my previous visit. After exiting the secure area, I…

You’re Exactly As Holy As You Want To Be

Every Christian is a work in progress. Every Christian is striving for holiness, laboring to put off the old man and put on the new. Though none of us is as holy as we will be in heaven, I trust that each of us is holier now than when we first came to Christ. And…
