The Alone Instrument – I’ve really been enjoying this album from Columbia Presbyterian Church. I especially like the adaptation of “To God Be the Glory.”

Sticks and Stones – Steve Morrison makes lots of interesting points in this excerpt from a new book.

Themelios – The Gospel Coalition just released a new edition of Themelios (free). You may also be interested in the new edition of CCEF’s Journal of Biblical Counseling (free preview, $6 for the issue).

Don’t Be a Commentary Junkie – With all due respect to commentaries, they need to be used in the right way.

—C.H. Spurgeon
