Blogspotting: My pastor thinks Josh Harris must be confused. Take a look and see if you agree.

Education: ESV Blog pointed me to Biblical Training, a site that offers online courses by a wide variety of notable Christian teachers. Looks like there is lots to learn there!

People: Snopes.com, the Urban Legend Reference site responds to an email that buzzed around the Internet claiming that Steve Irwin became a Christian shortly before his death. To this point the status of the story is “undetermined” but sadly it seems unlikely to be true.

Bible: Bible Explorer is giving away version 4.0 of their product with some Bibles and Reference books including Talking Strongs Greek and Hebrew Dictionary. They’ll be adding a new book every week including some solidly Reformed works.

Books: Grace and Truth Books is offering a great deal on one of my favorite books, Bruce Ware’s “Father, Son and Holy Spirit.” They have it on sale for only $9.50, far less than any other place I’ve seen. There are a limited number available so grab a couple now!

    A La Carte (March 18)

    A La Carte: God is good and does good—even in our pain / Dear bride and groom / Sin won’t comfort you / Worthy of the gospel / From self-sufficiency to trusting God’s people / The gods fight for our devotion / and more.

  • Confidence

    God Takes Us Into His Confidence

    Here is another Sunday devotional—a brief thought to orient your heart toward the Lord. God takes the initiative in establishing relationship by reaching out to helpless humanity. He reveals himself to the creatures he has made. But what does it mean for him to provide such revelation of himself? John Calvin began his Institutes by…
