Deep Roots Library – I really like what I’m seeing out of Deep Roots Library, which “exists to serve the Church by making writings from Christian history accessible, readable, affordable, and searchable. We believe that there is great value in fellowship among believers, even if they are centuries removed from where we are today.” Today only you can get 25 ebooks for free just for visiting the site.

6 Principles for Giving – Are you wiser than a miser? This article from Clint Archer provides six principles for giving your money generously.

Measuring the Universe – The Royal Observatory in Greenwich describes the process of measuring things that are very, very big and/or very, very far away.

Credo Magazine – A new issue of Credo Magazine is now available (for free). “The title of this May’s issue … is “Chosen by Grace.” Contributors include : Timothy George, Paul Helm, Matthew Barrett, Bruce Ware, Fred Zaspel, Greg Gilbert, Thomas Nettles, R. Scott Clark, David Murray, Thomas Schreiner, Graham Cole, Greg Forster, and many others.”

Quotes from Pastor Meyer – This blogger creates regular roundups of funny things John Piper says. “Now that the vote is in and Pastor Jason is being called to be our new pastor (with 99% affirming the call), I have compiled the amusing quotes from Pastor Meyer’s season of candidating and posted them here.”

What Shall I Preach on Next? – Here’s a helpful article for pastors. It gives some guidance on how to choose what you’ll preach next.

What we think about when we are free to think about what we will – that is what we are or will soon become.
