Happy Canada Day! It’s July 1 which makes it Canada up here in the great white north–a day we celebrate the great nation God has given us. It’s always a good day.

Who Is Coming to America? – An interesting infographic.

Erasing Hell – Monergism Books is offering great pricing on Francis Chan’s new book Erasing Hell (which is, of course, a response to Rob Bell’s Love Wins). They also have a very deep discount on R.C. Sproul’s When Worlds Collide ($3.75) and Carl Trueman’s new Reformation: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.

Search Committees – Mark Dever asks what’s wrong with pastoral search committees. He also answers the question, of course.

Cruciform Press – I’m encouraged by what this pastor says about Cruciform Press: “Thus far, I’ve received Cruciform, But God and Smooth Stones. I’ve managed to read each book in less than a day (usually two sittings), but each has required significantly longer to consider and think about. I don’t know what your book budget is, but I’m almost certain you can justify $6.49 to broaden your theological scope and widen it’s depth. I honestly don’t think you can afford not to.”

Do not give fair names to foul sins. Call them what you will, they will smell no sweeter.

—C.H. Spurgeon

    Let Them Leap To Hell Over Our Bodies

    One of the most sacred and most important of our tasks in prayer is to intercede on behalf of the lost. We know that every one of our friends, neighbors, and family members needs to hear the good news of the gospel and repent and believe. We know that God is the Good Shepherd, who…
