Dr. Mohler writes about Rick Warren and his choice to pray at Obama's inauguration. "It doesn't take much. We would all like to be considered cool. Cultural opposition is a tough challenge and bearing public hatred is a hard burden. Being cool means being considered mainstream, acceptable, and admirable."
On Sex Within Marriage
Piper pens a very useful article on this question: "How should a husband and wife manage having opposite sex-drives?" He says, "Compete with each other about how to bring the other person joy, to maximize the other person's gladness and satisfaction."

Get Thee Behind Us
Christianity Today writes about a company that will send "mystery worshipers" to your church to help gauge how your church performs in welcoming visitors. Mark Galli writes, "It's hard to know where to begin. This is a near-perfect example of what happens when we let marketing experts into the church building."

Great links today Tim. Thanks and Merry Christmas.
Tim,Thanks for the challenge. I memorized Romans 6 a few years ago in an effort to combat persistent sin in my life I use to write it out every morning but still struggled with my sin and was very frustrated with my not "experiencing" this reality until I read in one of Jerry Bridges books not sure which one something to the effect of, not a verbatim quote, he said in reference to Ro. 6 this chapter is something to be believed not necessarily experiencedwhether I misunderstood him or not it really freed me and have found freedom from certain annoying persistent sins and have applied this principle to all my scriptural memorization and meditation.
