One Anothers – Ray Ortlund has a list of “one another” commands he can’t find in the New Testament. They include Sanctify one another, humble one another, scrutinize one another, pressure one another, embarrass one another and a whole lot more.

How YouTube and Internet Journalism Destroyed Tom Cruise – It’s an odd subject, I admit. But it’s a fascinating article about how we can ignore wider context and focus on the sound bite.

God reminds us in 1 Peter 2:2 that we are to desire his Word as babies desire to be fed.”

War on Boys – This video is worth watching.

This generation of Christians is responsible for this generation of souls on earth.

    The Path to Contentment

    I wonder if you have ever considered that the solution to discontentment almost always seems to be more. If I only had more money I would be content.
