Is Glory God’s Only Goal? – Here is something worth considering: “Has the glory of God become a cliche among the young, restless, Reformed crowd? The vocabulary of glory is on the rise, but certain misunderstandings and imbalances linger. Will ‘the glory of God’ become a cliche, much like ‘the love of God’ to the previous generation, which too often reduced love to sentimentality?”
The Endless Train Wreck – I often wonder what Neil Postman would say if he was able to help us think through the implications of today’s Internet. I’m sure he would have something to say about the recent endless train wreck.
Rick Warren Returns – TIME reports on Rick Warren’s first sermon since his son’s death. “Almost four months after their son committed suicide, Pastor Rick Warren and his wife Kay addressed their congregation for the first time, promising to remove the stigma of mental illness from the church”
Engaging With Keller – Engaging With Keller is a new book in which several theologians interact with what they consider some of Tim Keller’s dangerous ideas. This is a helpful review of the book.

Over the past several days, commentators have burst forth with a cacophony of competing ideas for your revival. The following list contains some potentially promising options for you to consider…”
UpDesk – I use an UpDesk; they recently updated it to make it even better and to address what I identified as some of the previous generation’s weaknesses.
If you do not desire to be holy I do not see that you have any right to think that you are a Christian.
