A La Carte (5/6)

Biblical Productivity Series
C.J. Mahaney's "Biblical Productivity" series is now available as a single PDF file if you'd like to download and read the whole thing.
Free Downloads from Truth for Life
Alistair Begg: "In conjunction with [The Basicss] conference, we will be announcing the latest venture from Truth For Life. On May 11, 2009, we are making our archives of downloadable MP3 messages available for free. Let me encourage you to take immediate advantage of this and also to make it as widely known as you possibly can. This plan is in keeping not only with our stated purpose, but also with the expressed desire of the apostles to make every effort to proclaim the Gospel."
Who is Coming to America?
This infographic is a look at the 20 countries from which the most people came to America in 2008, how many immigrants already had family there, and how many received asylum when they arrived on its shores.
Complacent Repentance
From Burk Parsons: "The church at the beginning of the twenty-first century is not eager to repent because we are not eager for the return of Christ. What is more, the church is not eager for the return of Christ because we are not eager to repent."

I’d like to see a chart of # of immigrants per capita based on the population of the originating country. It’s not surprising that there relatively few people coming from, say, New Zealand, because there are relatively few people in New Zealand to begin with.

If I get inspired (bored) I may cook it up myself.
