Here is a slightly abbreviated “the last two days were a little less organized than I had thought they would be” edition of A La Carte.

God’s Technology – My friend Chris Larson did an interview with my friend David Murray on the subject of technology. Did you get all that?

The Heart of Fasting – A couple of people have asked me recently about fasting. It turns out that John MacArthur is beginning a series on that very topic.

Family-Friendly Films – “With the exception of Christopher Nolan’s psychological thriller ‘Inception,’ the top-grossing films of 2010 were all aimed squarely at families.” Let’s hope that the studios are paying attention!

Letters to a Young Calvinist – I quite enjoyed Wes Bredenhof’s review of the book Letters to a Young Calvinist. He does a good job of addressing some of the book’s weaknesses.

reFocus – Here’s a conference I’m excited to be going to next month. If you’re anywhere near Vancouver you may want to check it out.

Apple’s App Store – Here’s a list of some of the best items available in Apple’s new Mac App Store.

  • Do you know who God says you are?

    Identity matters for at least two key reasons. First, understanding our identity—our true God-given identity—is vital to understand why we exist and what we’re to do in life, as it is likewise essential for framing a fitting perspective of others.

    A Collection of Random Thoughts on Christian Living

    Not every thought makes a good article and sometimes an entire article can be distilled down to a single thought.
