Pillar Commentary Sale
Westminster Books is having a sale on the excellent Pillar Commentary series (edited by D.A. Carson). They have the brand new Hebrews volume in stock. Buy two of the commentaries and you’ll get a further 10% off any others you buy. This is a good time to stock up on the series while it is still young and you don’t have too many volumes to catch up with!
Driscoll on Avatar
I’m a bit late to the party with this one, but I finally caught up with Driscoll’s comments on Avatar. They’re worth reading.
A Special Guest at T4G
Mark Dever: “Our brother Matt Chandler (pastor of the Village Church near Dallas, TX) has graciously agreed, health permitting, to be with us. During CJ’s slot on Thursday, CJ will introduce Matt, and Matt will then share with us about what God has been teaching him through his recent struggles. CJ will then ask him some questions, and exhort us as we conclude our time together. Pray for him and for us, that God would use this time for His glory.”
Preacher’s Essential Library
A friend pointed out that you can learn a lot about the state of contemporary evangelical preaching by looking at the contents of this “Essential Library” for the preacher.

I think Driscoll went a bit over the top with his Avatar criticism…
I would like you to elaborate on the “Essential Library” comment. It seems that it would be beneficial and edifying to all of us to hear what discernment you have to offer on this issue. Thanks for all the hard work you come up with to keep us on “The Narrow Way.”
I think, Normand, that it goes without saying that its a reflection on the “SAD” state, generally, on contemporary evangelical preaching when The major respectable bible software seller is able with a straight face to say that what is essential along with your bible as a preacher is largely a bunch of stories, giggles and laughs. A list of light toys rather than mature workman’s heavy duty tools to forge something of substance that should be expected as essential from our pulpits.
Does that come close to what you were implying Tim?
Tim, where did all the previous comments on this go? I think there were something like 26 comments entered (mainly about Driscoll, go figure).
I don’t think that what Driscoll had to say about Avatar was over the top at all. He was just telling it like it is. Period.
