T-t-t-talkin’ ‘Bout My Generation – Carl Trueman is talking about this generation, but thinking about the next. “One cannot truly assess a Christian leader until one can see clearly what his legacy is. That is sobering to anyone who is a minister, from the pastor of a small church to the international statesman.”

As White As Snow – We got our first snow yesterday and Dr. Haykin wrote a poem about it (he lives not too far from my home).

The Most Important Book – Westminster Books is having a big one-week sale on Bibles. Some of them are up to 65% off.

Pastoral Counseling with Tedd Tripp – From January 7-12, Midwest Center for Theological Studies will be live-streaming a course on pastoral counseling with Tedd Tripp. It’s free for all!

A Translation Conundrum – Bill Mounce always does a good job of showing just what a difficult thing it is to translate the Bible. Here he shows once again how all translators are traitors.

Fallacies do not cease to be fallacies because they become fashions.

—G.K. Chesterton
