Weekly Links (4/29/2010)

by Stephen Rodgers

Hey everyone! Welcome back to this edition of the weekly links. I feel like I’m slowly learning how to find the right number of articles to offer…not too few, but not too many. To that end, I’ve decided to try to limit the number of articles that show up here, so I can really focus on just bringing you the sort of material that would hopefully minister to the most people. So, without further ado…

  • We’ve covered this several times already, but judging from the questions I get at church, we really can’t answer it enough. So, first up is an article over at Kevin DeYoung’s blog that asks Does Calvinism Discourage Evangelism? (WEB)
  • Next up is an article from a blog I just found on Christian counseling. Ed Welch writes on How to Disarm an Angry Person. I think we’ve all been in situations where knowing the answer to that problem would have been very helpful. (WEB)
  • Next up, for everyone who likes video, let’s catch up on the Michael Horton interviews. There are three short videos you haven’t seen yet: what is the greatest theological challenge facing the next generation of pastors, building a kingdom vs. receiving a kingdom, and the gospel-driven life. (VIDEO)
  • Over at his blog, Greg Lucas reflects on his disabled son and asks how will my son be saved? He offers some great words of wisdom and comfort. (WEB)
  • For all you book nerds out there (yes, sometimes I even talk to myself on this blog!) there are some new reviews over at the TGC Reviews site that you might want to check out. (WEB)
  • And for everyone who needs some new, FREE Christian music, Mars Hill church has made their Good Friday music available, and Page CXVI has made their first album of hymns freely available. Enjoy! (MP3)
  • Now, this is targeted more at pastors than members, but I think as members there are some good insights into how we can support our pastors. Over at the SBTS website, Garrett Wishall writes about seven sure-fire ways to blow up a church. (WEB)
  • Matt and Lauren Chandler have posted another update as to how they’re doing. If you feel out of the loop on that, you can hit up this link to see any updates you might have missed. (VIDEO)
  • And last but not least, Erik over at Irish Calvinist writes about how we can sometimes be so “biblical” that we forget to be Christian. I put this one last so that we could all reflect and ponder on his insight. (WEB)

See you Sunday!
