Links for your weekend reading:

1. How Christian Humility Upended the World - John Dickson

2. Check out this interview with Jared Wilson about his book, Gospel Wakefulness. I love what Jared says about how gospel wakefulness arises from the depths of profound brokenness. Read this book and exult in the Savior!

3. Along the lines of my Apollinarian post this week, Justin Taylor asks, “Can someone be saved who distorts or denies the biblical doctrine of justification?” and takes a look at how John Owen, Jonathan Edwards, and John Piper answer. Very helpful.

Seven links for your weekend reading:

1. Why John Piper thinks you should see Courageous this weekend

“I watched Courageous with my wife and was thoroughly engaged. I like action, and I like reflection, and I like affection—explosive moments, wrack-your-brain moments, and break-your-heart moments. Rarely do movies combine them all. For me this one captured me. Does the movie preach? Well, it sure has a point. But about the time you think you might get preached at, a bullet may cut through your car door. I would willingly take anyone to see this film, assuming they can handle suspense. And I think the conversations afterward would not be superficial.”

2. Praying for Your Kids

3. Worship is Love On Its Knees

4. Why is it popular to be a heretic?

5. Amazon Fires Barrage at Apple: Cheap Kindle, Touch Kindle, Tablet Kindle
