Don’t Take it From Me – Kathy Keller on why you shouldn’t marry an unbeliever: “Over the course of our ministry, the most common pastoral issue that Tim and I have confronted is probably marriages—either actual or proposed—between Christians and non-Christians. I have often thought how much simpler it would be if I could remove myself from the conversation and invite those already married to unbelievers do the talking to singles who are desperately trying to find a loophole that would allow them to marry someone who does not share their faith.”

Using the Web to Sell Girls – This heart-breaking article talks about how the Web is used to sell the services of girls.

The Ekranoplane – An interesting little slice of history: “In the thick of the Cold War, the Soviet Union built an immense vessel to carry their troops across the seas and into Western Europe.

Reasons to Manuscript – Here’s an article I enjoyed. It discusses the value of manuscripting sermons.

—C.H. Spurgeon
