Spare the Rod, Spoil the Student – I enjoyed this as a story that nicely illustrates the maxim of “spare the rod, spoil the child.” (Note: there’s one bad word in there).

Personal Libraries of the (Near) Future – A cartoon for you. (HT)

Gnosticism, Nicea and Celebrity – Carl Trueman on recent events: “Now that it is official that the kind of questions raised in the third and fourth centuries relative to Trinitarianism are nothing more than the constructs of a bunch of middle aged white guys, it is worth perhaps spending a few moments in methodological and historical reflection.”

Tabletalk – Ligonier Ministries’ Tabletalk magazine offers up a batch of free articles every month and this month’s selection includes a few interesting ones!

The Three Little Pigs – This is a clever little bit of comedy.

—J.I. Packer

  • Good News Rock Bottom

    Good News at Rock Bottom

    Life most certainly brings its challenges. Some of these are just little ruts along the way, some are deep and dark valleys, and some are lower still—the kind of rock bottom experiences that are so dreadful we wonder if we will be able to endure them with our faith intact.
