Around the Web
I don’t usually do a lot of links on my blog. There are others who do that much better than I could (e.g., JT, Challies), and I usually just end up stealing there stuff anyway. But here are a few things worth checking out:
Marriage and the Seinfeld Effect. Do more and more people really approve of homosexuality? Or do more and more people just think they should approve? If it is the latter, this is one more reason why the church must not be silent on this issue–winsome and gracious, but not silent.
Church Planter. Good trailer for a new book from Darrin Patrick. Looks promising.
Andrew Peterson on Poverty, Simplicity, and Raising a Family. You really should read this piece. Peterson, who is best known for his wonderful music, has written a thoughtful, balanced, wise article about the tension between his respect for the radical Christians who grow long hair and walk around barefoot and, on the other hand, his need as a father to provide.
Lady Vicar Tells Anglicans to Learn from Black Sabbath. Is it possible this is satire? It doesn’t seem to be, but I wish it were: “The Reverend Rachel Mann writes in the Church Times that the outpourings of Black Sabbath and their musical descendants demonstrated a ‘liberative theology of darkness’ enabling acolytes to be ‘relaxed and fun.’”
Last but certainly not least, be sure to read the new 9Marks eJournal on Hell: Remembering The Awful Reality. These eJournals are always worth reading. This one features articles by Mark Dever, Kevin DeYoung, Sinclair Ferguson, Greg Gilbert, Andy Naselli, James Hamilton, and an annotated bibliography by Gavin Ortlund.
