A Tale of Two Little Girls
Kirk Wellum reminds us that our society is hardly immune to the kind of thoughts that replaced a less attractive little Chinese girl with a more attractive one.
16 Days of Atrocity
From The Point: "To keep the excitement over Phelps and company on the U.S. Olympic team (much deserved admiration, definitely) from drowning out those in China and elsewhere who cannot share the joy because of the communist regime's evil acts, we're going to post an "Atrocity of the Day" throughout the remainder of the Olympic season."
Life After Lakeland
An article in Charisma wrestles with the aftermath of the Lakeland "Revival." "Among those who jumped on the Lakeland bandwagon, discernment was discouraged. They were expected to swallow and follow. The message was clear: 'This is God. Don't question.'"

I imagine you have or will soon see this, Tim, but readers might be interested to read John Piper’s response to this article at the Desiring God blog.

i was sad to hear about China’s eagerness to create and save face in the Olympic opening ceremonies in general, and it was only renewed when i heard about these two little girls. what a terrible message to send! i couldn’t help but feel a little appalled and disgusted at the terrible hypocrisy in American media’s decrying of the practice, though. ugh.
