We’re All Witnesses – This columnist is hardly a Tebow fanboy. And yet… “We’re watching a new reality unfold, right before our eyes, and what we saw Sunday strained credibility. It was incredible. It was fantastical.”

Jesus vs Movies – John Piper asks a good question: “What should you do if you know someone who seems to be more excited about movies than Jesus?

Or the latest game they watched. Something is amiss.”

Critics, Criticism and Character – Aaron Armstrong has a good article here dealing with being a critic and responding to criticism.

Evangelical Exhibitionists – One of the consequences of Mark Driscoll’s new book is that a lot of people are thinking about “how much is too much” when it comes to discussing sex and sexuality. Phil Johnson’s critique of Real Marriage is, in a word, devastating.

Your state is not at all to be measured by the opposition that sin makes to you, but by the opposition you make to it.

—John Owen
