Amazon’s Same-Day Service – Amazon has a new tactic in battling retail stories: “Now that it has agreed to collect sales taxes, [Amazon] can legally set up warehouses right inside some of the largest metropolitan areas in the nation.

Cutting Christ to Pieces – Writing for Christianity Today, Michael Horton shows that “struggling with homosexuality is a paradox, but embracing homosexuality is a contradiction.” He responds specifically to “the controversy provoked by a recent interview in the Atlantic with Alan Chambers, the president of Exodus International.”

Mercy Ministry in the Church – The new edition of the 9Marks Journal is out. It focuses on mercy ministry in the local church.

—C.H. Spurgeon
