"The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment is a truly important work-one that should be required reading not only for church leaders, but for all sober-minded laypeople as well."

John MacArthur (From the Foreword)

"If you were more discerning you’d probably buy this book. If you do read this book, you will be! This book on discernment is simple, clear, well-written and well-illustrated...

New Version of Movabletype

The folks at Movabletype have released the long-awaited version 3.0 of their software. This is the software that runs many of the blogs you and I read on a daily basis (including this one). Among the best features they now offer is TypeKey, a key that will allow people to comment on multiple blogs using the same account. By allowing only people with a TypeKey to comment on a blog you are effectively blocking all spam, so that is quite an exciting feature.

When it comes to new version of software I am always a bit nervous to upgrade before there have been a few patches released, so I will probably wait a little while. It is a case of “once bitten, twice shy.” If you know of anyone who has made the upgrade please let me know as I would like to get some more information about how the new version works.

A couple of downsides to the new software. First, they really want you to pay for it this time. In the past it was free for personal (ie non-business) use. The price for the Personal Edition is now $99.95 (though for a limited time they have discounted it to $69.95). The free version is still available, but as per the license agreement you have to provide a link to Movabletype.org on every page on your site. This version is unsupported and can have only one author.
