A La Carte Collection cover image

Understanding the Times – The current edition of Tabletalk magazine has an interesting interview with Carl Trueman. I especially appreciated his take on the importance of church history and the real scandal of the Evangelical mind.

Discovery – Here’s a high-resolution 360 degree view of the flight deck of Space Shuttle Discovery. It’s amazingly rudimentary when you compare it to the Airbus A380.

Extreme Views on Abortion – Denny Burk asks who really holds the extreme views on abortion.

Canada Explained – It’s obviously not entirely without some left-leaning political bias, but video does a pretty good job of describing Canada’s strange political system. (The video came in a time when Canada had a minority government; this is no longer the case)

Facebook and Privacy – Here are a few tricks Facebook uses to make money off you.

Spurgeon Manuscript – If you’ve ever wanted to own one of those Charles Spurgeon manuscript pages, here’s your chance; Rare Document Traders has them on sale over the Labor Day weekend.

At that time Caleb Morell was working as Pastor Mark Dever’s personal assistant. Dever tasked him with finding out how the church had responded to the Spanish flu epidemic a…
