Trevin's Seven
1. When Morality Collapses: Dr. Mohler shows how the response to Fort Hood massacre exposes the illegitimacy of the therapeutic worldview.
The therapeutic mentality is all that remains when a moral framework is abandoned. No civilization can survive this evasion of moral responsibility. Sick is no adequate substitute for evil. Medicalizing morality means the end of right and wrong as meaningful categories.
We are just left with Dr. Phil, and his concern that a massacre is “not a well act.” If that is all we can say — even the first thing that we say — we are not a well society.
2. A map that shows the percentage of job loss across America. I’m surprised at how hard the West Coast, Michigan, and Mississippi are hit.
3. Why pastors and church leaders should “think hybrid”
4. Tim Challies on why he dislikes the idea of speed-reading. I speed-read often – but it depends on the kind of book I’m reading. One can hardly speed read through John Owen, Fyodor Dostoevsky or C.S. Lewis. Yet good stewardship of time demands that certain books be read quickly.
5. 5 ways that bloggers can make subscribers happy. 5 ways that subscribers can make bloggers happy.
6. Defending the pro-life view just takes a little dancing.
7. The 50 films most likely to dominate the box office in 2010.
