John Piper on Strange Fire – John Piper has begun to answer some questions about John MacArthur’s Strange Fire conference. (Here is a second Q&A)

Resolving Supposed Contradictions in Scripture – Derek Thomas offers a couple of examples of how to resolve supposed contradictions in Scripture.

The Operating System of Life – This is pretty amazing and gets me just one step closer to learning what I never figured out in tenth grade.

No soldiers of Christ are ever lost, missing or left dead on the battlefield.

—J.C. Ryle
