Not Just a Sinner – “I don’t ever want to hear you say, ‘I’m just a sinner saved by grace!’” I think there’s some wise counsel in this blog post from Trevin Wax.

Summer Reading – Al Mohler has shared his annual summer reading list. There are at least a few on there that I’m going to pick up.

How the NT Books Were Chosen – Here’s a good little refresher on how the books of the New Testament were chosen.

Misdating – I’ve seen a few articles along these lines lately. “Scientists are accused of distorting theory of human evolution by misdating bones. Briton says Spanish researchers are out by 200,000 years and have even got the wrong species.”

    A family member was recently paying a visit to a doctor who provided his diagnosis of the condition and suggested a course of treatment. My family member listened patiently but then said, “I was wondering if we could actually try another treatment instead.” The doctor playfully rolled his eyes and said, “I see you’ve been…
