Links of the Week

  1. Al Mohler on A massive shift coming in what it means to be a Christian. I am always stunned when Christians stop believing in a part of the Bible they don’t like.
  2. C.J. Mahaney on leadership and criticism. The best stuff I’ve seen on criticism. His post on how to criticize a pastor is helpful for any church member.
  3. Justin Holcomb on Defending and proving the resurrection of Jesus.
  4. Bryan Chapell on Preaching the power of grace.
  5. E.M. Bounds on What makes great preaching.
  6. Parents, don’t dress your daughters like tramps. Sad that CNN has to say this, but Christian parents and the church needs to step up to the plate and teach modesty and character among young girls.
  7. Church planter or pastor, does your wife share your calling to ministry? If not, don’t do it or get out of it.
  8. Ed Marcelle on Restoration and relationship in marriage.

Links of the Week

  1. Steven Furtick on Anxiety. This is right on and this is something way too many of us deal with and as followers of Jesus, we shouldn’t.
  2. Jason Poling on Jon & Kate Plus 9 Million. Great look at marriage and how to work through things and why this show is not helping in this area.
  3. The church needs to get angry. What things should the church be angry about? Not just protesting, but angry about?
  4. John Piper on Whether or not to twitter during a worship service. I have to admit, that even as a tweeter, his points make sense. Especially not tweeting while having sex (has someone tried this?), truer words have never been spoken.
  5. Time Magazine on Tweeting during church. This is the flipside of Piper’s argument.
