Du Jour: Mark Dever shares some wise and humble words about pride as impatience. Impatience “is a disguise for the sin of pride, the ugliest of all sins, and the most direct rejection of God’s authority and of a humble joy in His provision for me in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”

Music: Here’s one for all the U2 fans. “Bono, the rock star and campaigner against Third World debt, is asking the Irish government to contribute more to Africa. At the same time, he’s reducing tax payments that could help fund that aid.”

Humor? Old Truth pictures the absurd, taking issue with those (he?) who believes that Calvinists are worse than Muslims.

Beauty: GirlTalk discusses distorted beauty (complete with an interesting video).

An interesting mix of items: One on humility vs. pride and impatience; one on how over-emphasis on appearance has caused great anguish to many women (another issue of pride vs. humility); and a link to a debate among “Christians” where both sides seem to be letting their pride and arrogance show, with very little humility to be seen anywhere!
