Thursday July 24, 2008T4G Slideshow
Together for the Gospel has released a great slideshow from the T4G 08 Conference. It is set to “How Sweet and Awful Is the Place.”
The Spirit of Revival
At the Ligonier blog we’re serializing a great bit of writing from R.C. Sproul. He writes about revival and how we can distinguish between true and false revival. It is a great read when so much talk about supposed revival is in the news.
Faith-Based Currency
A good article by Ron Paul addresses fiat currency. “Some are blaming the recent shakeup in the markets to “whining” or financial fear-mongering, which misses the whole point. History has shown that fiat money, or “faith-based currency” always fails, because when governments claim this power, they always behave irresponsibly.”
Rick Warren’s Presidential Forum
Rick Warren is defending his decision to hold a Presidential forum at his church despite the fact that it is co-sponsored by “the liberal social justice group Faith in Public Life, whose board president is Meg Riley, a Unitarian Universalist minister who previously ran the denomination’s homosexual advocacy office.”
Watching Joel Osteen
Sean Michael Lucas gives some good reflections on what makes Joel Osteen so popular.

About the link to Ron Paul’s article, the return to the Gold standard is the plank of his platform that I like least. Money is to an economy what oil is to an engine. A bigger engine needs a bigger supply of oil; a bigger economy needs a larger supply of cash in order to run smoothly. Put too much or too little oil into your car engine, and disaster will follow; the same goes for having too much or too little cash in the economy. The Gold Standard results in an economy that has too little cash in it. Churchill’s return to the Gold Standard in the 1950s after Attlee led directly to the death of most heavy industry in Britain. Paul conveniently forgets this when he decries fiat currencies.
