Celebrity Rock Star Pastors – Thabiti Anyabwile is on a roll lately over at his blog. Today he is talking about the rock star, celebrity pastor.

American Politics – David Murray makes a rare foray into American politics and I think I pretty much agree with what he’s saying about Mitt Romney. The press has conveniently forgotten that he is a Mormon. If he gains the Republican nomination, they’ll suddenly remember.

Old, Settled and Reformed – Doug Wilson wonders where the young, restless, Reformed will be when they’re not so young anymore. “The young, restless and Reformed movement has all the hallmarks of the kind of thing we tend to do in waves.

The Love of God – A free MP3 of “The Love of God” by Redemption Hill Music.
