First of all don’t forget to vote for Borrowed Light at the SBC Blog Madness.
Haven’t listened to these yet but Tony tells us about a free album of hymns put to indie rock.
C.J. Mahaney introduces us to David Powlison. (As a side note I have only recently stumbled across Powlison’s material–and have been tremendously blessed. Expect a review of Seeing with New Eyes in the near future). Also in regards to Powlison check out this discussion with Justin Taylor about homosexuality.
It is unbelievable that Time has listed The New Calvinism as #3 on it’s 10 Ideas Changing the World Right Now. I like Driscoll’s take on it here and here. JT also points us to an article from 1947.
Jared lists 10 people in church that you should not trust.
I wonder if this one will get as many comments: Part 3 of Stetzer’s inteview with Andy Stanley.
Everyone, even if they had to create a blog just to link to it, has linked to this article by Michael Spencer (iMonk): The Coming Evangelical Collapse.
Phil Johnson on Preachin’ Dirty. If my students read that title they would be cracking up since a few months ago (actually while shooting our fan movie) I got my pants very dirty. They enjoyed my rap song–“gonna catch me preachin’ dirty”. It’s funny because I am very white and had actually never heard the song. Read the article it has nothing to do with preaching with dirty pants on.
Last week I linked to Piper’s discussion about wrasslin’ girls. Dan Phillips has some interesting points here; he’s for it, well sort of.
Can an elder be divorced? Mounce weighs in.
I know that you have already heard about the murder of Pastor Fred Winters. As a follow up I really like these suggestions by Mark Driscoll concerning church safety.
Alex and Brett Harris are writing another book and they need our help.
This is convicting: Prayerlessness is a sign of self-sufficiency.
I really like Ray LaMontagne’s music. I thought he did a great job on SNL:
Steve,
I let the last comment slide. Not this time. I appreciate your passion to preserve the biblical faith. I don’t think you are going about it the right way. Going around the web finding sites that link to CJ and posting the same cut phrase and links is NOT helpful. This is pointless. We both know that CJ preaches the biblical gospel. If you disagree with polity then you disagree with polity but please take your complaints elsewhere. There are far bigger problems and far greater things to spend our time on…making sure everyone knows that SGM has faults is not one of them.
Thanks,
Mike
