What’s Next for The Gospel Coalition?
CT interviews D.A. Carson on The Gospel Coalition. “Our aim is not to keep the coalition as an end in itself. It’s a coalition of people for the sake of promoting the gospel. And if the gospel is so implanted in enough things that are taking it forward in all kinds of useful and happy ways, then we should morph into something else or stop as an organization.”


Thoughts for Christian Bloggers
Matt Heerema, whom I enjoyed meeting at The Gospel Coalition, has written an article that contains some useful thoughts for Christian bloggers.


Death Is Not Dying
“After four and a half years of vigilantly fighting breast cancer, Rachel Barkey, a 37-year-old wife and mother of two was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Rachel’s story is not unlike what thousands of women around the world have experienced. A diagnosis that changes a woman’s life and inevitably takes from her what we consider to be most precious.” (HT:Josh Harris)
