Women, Stop Submitting to Men? – This is good stuff from Russell Moore: “Those of us who hold to so-called ‘traditional gender roles’ are often assumed to believe that women should submit to men. This isn’t true.” Not quite.

Bible Translation and I.T. – I appreciate this–a quick look at how I.T. plays a crucial role in Bible translation work.

John Frame’s Writings – This week’s deals from Westminster Books will be of special interest to people who love theology.

The Brown Sisters – “The Brown sisters have been photographed every year since 1975. The latest image in the series is published here for the first time.”

How to Think About Persecution – Here’s some guidance on how to think about persecution when you’re not very persecuted.

The softest call from Jesus can silence the Enemy’s greatest roar.
