This morning I caught up on some blog reading (I only check them sporadically these days). Here are a variety of links that I found interesting and beneficial:
Al Mohler, “The Delay of Marriage and the Decline of Church Attendance”- Al Mohler, “The Real Population Threat”
- “How to Pray for Joni Eareckson Tada” (and many others who suffer):
- Pray that my fragile bones become stronger.
- Ask God to infuse courage into my heart daily!
- Over all, my pain levels are getting much better but still, please pray away any anxiety.
- Help me not to become me-centered when I’m in pain!
- Pain medication is never fun to take. Pray that soon and very soon I won’t have to lean as heavily on it.
- Plead to God that I might know Jesus better through all of this and not “waste” my sufferings!!
- Ligonier’s annual conference (this year’s theme was “The Holiness of God”) was held recently and the videos have been made available to watch for free (among the speakers were R. C. Sproul, Al Mohler, Steve Lawson, Sinclair Ferguson, Ligon Duncan, Alister Begg, and Thabiti Anyabwile).
- Free audio sermons by Martyn Lloyd-Jones
- Some new or soon to be released books that look to be compelling reading:
- Jonathan Morrow, Welcome to College: A Christ-Follower’s Guide for the Journey (a brief review and the author’s website)
- Bryan Chapell, Christ-Centered Worship: Letting the Gospel Shape Our Practice
- Kevin DeYoung, Just Do Something: A Liberating Approach to Finding God’s Will
- Nancy Guthrie, Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross: Experiencing the Passion and Power of Easter
- William Zinsser, “Visions and Revisions” (he is the author of the classic book On Writing Well)
- Theological Word of the Day — including movements, people, and theological and biblical terms
