Prayer: Author and professor Don Whitney has been diagnosed with colon cancer and will be undergoing surgery on December 20 (4 PM EST). Please keep Don and his family in your prayers. He is likely to be in hospital for 4 to 7 days. Updates on his condition should be posted on an ongoing basis at biblicalspirituality.org.

Purpose: Critical Issues Commentary has provided A Berean’s Discernment Tool
for The Purpose Driven Life
.

Christmas: Justin Taylor debunks the ever-popular fallacy (or fantasy) that Christmas Day was timed to coincide with pagan holidays. Haven’t we believed this one long enough already?

Award: Marc of Purgatorio fame has granted me an indulgence for “consistent Godward blogging.” Woohoo!
