10 Things Not to Say
Here are ten things not to say in the final weeks of pregnancy (HT: Amy).

John Adams: The Film
This HBO mini-series looks excellent. It’s a film adaptation of McCullough’s biography of John Adams. It’s coming this March (and will hopefully make it to DVD not too long after).

Bible.org Redesigned
Bible.org, a site filled with excellent resources, has recently undergone a very nice redesign.

Go to the Ant
On YouTube is a remarkable video from the Science Channel showing an expansive ant colony and describing the work it took to make it.

Help Tullian
Tullian is posting excerpts of the book he’s working on and is looking for outside input.

The Power of a Single Snowflake

There are blessings that come with living in a part of the world that sees four distinct seasons. There are trials, too, like when the days are scorching or the nights are bitterly cold. But if I were to leave this part of the world, I know I would miss the seasonality of Southern Ontario…

If You Had Written the Bible

Have you ever thought about what the Bible would be like if you had been in charge of writing or editing it? Whatever you would do, I am quite certain you would end up with something that would bear far more resemblance to a systematic theology text than the Bible we hold in our hands…

On the Far Side of Obedience

To be human is to be finite—to be limited in our knowledge of past, present, and future. We exist within strict boundaries of time and space, so that we cannot see beyond our present location or beyond our present moment. This is a feature of our humanity and not a bug…

How Much Money Is God Not Concerned About?

Here is the kind of question I sometimes enjoy pondering: How much money is God not really concerned about? I guess I’d better explain what I mean by that. If someone told me a wealthy neighbor was handing out $100 bills to anyone who dropped by, no strings attached, I would immediately go over and…
