That’s My King!
Yes, you’ve probably heard/seen this before. But it’s worth listening to again. Don’t watch the slides–just listen to the words.


What Are They Buying?
A wise article from Thomas Sowell looks at the bailout package. He says ” Using long, drawn-out processes to put money into circulation to meet an emergency is like mailing a letter to the fire department to tell them that your house is on fire. “


Deidox
Deidox seeks to bring compelling stories to life through short documentary films. “Our hope is that these short films will inspire you to realize anew how big and active God is, how He is reaching and changing lives in all countries and using His people to accomplish His work.”


Driscoll on Nightline
Nightline recently did a feature on Mark Driscoll. You can watch it here.

    Weekend A La Carte (March 16)

    A La Carte: I believe in the death of Julius Caesar and the resurrection of Jesus Christ / Reasons students and pastors shouldn’t use ChatGPT / A 1.3 gigpixel photo of a supernova / What two raw vegans taught me about sharing Jesus / If we realize we’re undeserving, suddenly the world comes alive /…
