My apologies to those who were looking for the final post in Reading Classics Together. I was on vacation last week and just plain forgot to write up the Reading Classics article. I’ll catch up this Thursday! Meanwhile, here are some links that may be of interest…

9 Lessons Concerning Sickeness – Here are 9 lessons from God concerning sickness (care of J.C. Ryle).

Google and Memory – Another interesting article on what the Internet is doing to memory.

Something’s Missing – Something is missing from your giving, according to this writer. And I think he raises a point that is worth considering–how do you decide what (and how) to give?

The only thing that a man can contribute to his own redemption is the sin from which he needs to be redeemed.

—William Temple

We hear it from skeptics: If Christianity is true and if it really changes people, then why can’t you get along? We…
