Not Just a Sinner – “I don’t ever want to hear you say, ‘I’m just a sinner saved by grace!’” I think there’s some wise counsel in this blog post from Trevin Wax. Summer Reading – Al Mohler has shared his annual summer reading list. There are at least a few on there that I’m…

Beautiful Photographs, Beautiful Cause – JT highlights the work of David Sacks. “David has recently produced a beautiful coffee table book of photographs he has taken there. It’s called True Africa.

TGC Atlantic – If you’re out on the east coast, or are looking for a good excuse to be, Kevin DeYoung, Mike Bullmore and I will be speaking at The Gospel Coalition Atlantic. It will run from August 7-9 and will be in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Dull Meets Boring – It may sound like…

Answering Objections – STR: “I was listening to a sermon by Tim Keller that addressed common objections to the Bible as God’s Word, and I thought this was a very clever point. He has a way of turning an objection into a virtue.” They describe how he does that. The Humility to Be an Example…

Grace to You – The June issue of Tabletalk magazine has an interview with John MacArthur. I think the most interesting bit comes at the end where he discusses his friendship with R.C. Sproul. That Dog Walking to Two Legs – In this article Carl Trueman writes about a research service meant to help pastors…

Able to Teach – Here is help from Thabiti Anyabwile on what the Apostle Paul meant when he said that an elder or pastor must be “able to teach.” Economics for Everybody – This looks like a fascinating new teaching series from R.C.

Why We Lie – This is a thoroughly secular, but still interesting take on why it is that human beings lie. “We like to believe that a few bad apples spoil the virtuous bunch. But research shows that everyone cheats a little—right up to the point where they lose their sense of integrity.” Colosse –…

I trust that my American readers will enjoy their Memorial Day today (and presumably most of them will enjoy the day by not spending a lot of time online). For the rest of us, here are some links worth checking out: Six Ways of Minimizing Sin – “I found these six ways of minimizing sin…

As Good As It Gets – Phillip Jensen: “‘This is as good as it gets’ the man assured me. I was initially shocked, but then deeply saddened by his statement. It was an astonishing statement—but there was no doubting the sincerity with which he was speaking.” This is a great article. The Man Who Took…

Costly Faithfulness – “It was the Anglican congregation’s firm stance on the authority of God’s word and the moral wrong of homosexuality that cost the 4,000-member church nearly everything they owned. Six years ago when the mainline Episcopal Church ordained an openly practicing homosexual bishop, 90 percent of The Falls Church congregation voted to break…

Dancing on the Edge of Finished – Seth Godin has an important word to say here: “Before, when your shift was done, you were finished. When the inbox was empty, when the forms were processed, you could stop. Now, of course, there’s always one more tweet to make, post to write, words with friends move…

Deep Roots Library – I really like what I’m seeing out of Deep Roots Library, which “exists to serve the Church by making writings from Christian history accessible, readable, affordable, and searchable.
