Superbowl: It wasn’t a bad Superbowl, as these things go. But I’ve got to say – that was the absolute worst rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner” I have ever heard.

Review: LJ Smith, who blogs at “A New Creation in Christ,” is writing a multi-part review of John MacArthur’s Fool’s Gold.

Du Jour: And speaking of series, Al Mohler is also beginning a new series, this time focusing on “The Recovery of Authentic Worship.” “The very combination of the words “worship” and “war” should lead us to very sincere and sober biblical reflection.

Prayer: Josh Harris has a prayer request, asking that we pray for the safe and timely delivery of his third child.
