Inerrant Word – InerrantWord is a new web site from John MacArthur dedicated to the always-important subject of inerrancy. It is part of the lead-up to next year’s Shepherds’ Conference Summit on Inerrancy.

Fall in Love Again – This is a good one from Paul Tripp.

Stop Forgiving Those Who Don’t Want Forgiveness – David writes about those who say they forgive others, even when they don’t want forgiveness. “I understand the motive, and also the desire to present an attractive witness about Christian forgiveness to the world.
