A La Carte (9/28)

Al Mohler on Changing His Mind - Trevin has a transcription of an interesting talk from Al Mohler in which he discusses how he came to change his mind on the role of women in ministry.

An Open Letter - Nancy Guthrie has penned an open letter to her pastors addressing the recent Glenn Beck rally in Washington.

Fast Food - Your infographic du jour. This one tells the fatty truth about fast food.

The Myth of Short Web Content - This article tries to put to rest the old and common belief that content on the web must be kept very short in order for people to actually read it. I am a bit on the fence on this one. If you really want to have people read it, you’ll need to keep it short.

Greek Questions - I don’t even know why I enjoy Mondays with Mounce so much. But this week’s question was another interesting one: how do you know when a Greek sentence is meant to be a question?

Humility is to expect nothing, to wonder at nothing done to us, to feel nothing against us. It is to be at rest when nobody praises us and when we are blamed and despised. It is to have a blessed home in the Lord where we can go in and shut the door and kneel to our Father in secret, and be at peace when all around is trouble. —Andrew Murray

I’m not sure how I feel about that definition of humility… sounds almost like asceticism or Buddhist enlightenment.

With all due respect to Mrs. Guthrie, who I deeply admire, I think it is possible to preach Christ from the pulpit and celebrate the best of the principles of America. I think way too many of my fellow Reformed pastors are falling into a false dichotomy over the whole Glenn Beck Rally. The left, like Scot McKnight over at Jesus Creed has committed a similar error as I blogged about today.

Grace and peace,

Did anyone else find it ironic that the article on why you do not have to write short blog posts, was itself a short blog post?

I read the Nancy Guthrie open letter as well and I highly recommend it. Another reminder that our job as ministers of the Word is to preach the Word, which is the only true power to change.
