A La Carte Collection cover image

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.

Editors and Writers Together – Gavin Ortlund offers suggestions on how writers and editors can best work together.

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.

Work Worth Doing – Dorothy Sayers said it well: “We should clamor to be engaged on work that was worth doing, and in which we can take pride.”

The gospel is not for you who can save yourselves, but for those who are lost.

—C.H. Spurgeon

    The Winds Blow Hardest Against the Tallest Trees

    Through the weekend had many questions about Christian leaders who fall.
