Our Irrational Fear of Flying – “Flying a 975,000-pound metal tube 6 miles off the ground at 570 mph will always carry some risk. Crashes will occasionally happen, and the grisly images of the aftermath will continue to evoke an irrational fear of flying.”

TGC 15 – If you’re into conferences, you may enjoy watching The Gospel Coalition conference as it unfolds over the next few days. The livestream gets underway at 1 PM EST.

Southern Baptists and the Sin of Racism – The Atlantic writes about Russell Moore, Southern Baptists, and racism.

Facebook Would Like a Monopoly on Your Entire Life – The title overstates it a little bit, but I guess it’s not too far from the truth.

ESV App – Today Crossway is releasing (at last!) a great update to the ESV app.

He that reads his Bible to find fault with it will soon discover that the Bible finds fault with him.
