I Hate Porn – There are a lot of people who hate porn, but who still look at it every day. I’m hoping they read this and learn to really hate it.

Vulnerable to Attack – Chuck Lawless: “Based on years of my studying spiritual warfare, here are eight ways I’ve seen leaders allow themselves to be vulnerable to the enemy’s arrows…” Speaking of pastors, here are 10 productivity experiments pastors may like to try.

Killing Jesus – Stand to Reason reviews Bill O’Reilly’s Killing Jesus.

The Teeth of Our Exertions – Here’s some investigation into a great Spurgeon quote: “If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our dead bodies. And if they perish, let them perish with our arms wrapped about their knees, imploring them to stay. If Hell must be filled, let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go unwarned and unprayed for.”

Regular Bedtime Helps Behavior – “Overall, children who went to bed at a consistent time had fewer behavior problems than those whose bedtimes varied.” The funny thing is, I think it’s largely true for adults as well.

When we reach the outer limit of what Scripture says, it is time to stop arguing and start worshipping.

—J.I. Packer
