Review: Reformation21 has a review of Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell. While suggesting that Bell was well-intentioned, the reviewer says this, “is not a healthy book and the emergent church movement it belongs to is not a healthy movement.”

Theology: Andrew of “Faith & Practice” asks Is John MacArthur a Fundamentalist?

Blogspotting: Rebecca, in her ongoing quest to get organizes, provides proof that she is not Tim Challies. Yeah, that Tim Challies.

Du Jour: Tim Irvin pays tribute to his friend and his… barber. When I move one of the first things I do is try to find a “Joe” – an old-school, masculine, career barber who doesn’t frost, highlight, gel or say “fabulous.”

    Biblical Wisdom for Everyday Life

    There are some categories of books that can be written once and remain relevant for generations. There are other categories that need to be written anew nearly every generation. Books on living life well often fall in that second category.
