The Unforgivable Sin – Jonathan Pennington, associate professor of New Testament interpretation at Southern Seminary in Louisville, takes on this always-pertinent question: What is the unforgivable sin Jesus spoke of? I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve been asked that one.
All the Radical I Can Manage – Barnabas Piper: “Sometimes faith isn’t radical; sometimes it’s just holding on. It’s not intellectual in the slightest and neither is it particularly well-argued.

5 Things I Learned in Canada – Daniel Darling was in Canada last week to speak at a Gospel Coalition event in PEI (an event I spoke at last year). I’m linking his article mostly because he boasts about my co-pastor Paul Martin, but also because he gives you reasons you should attend the event next year.
5 Worst Books for Your Children – Here are 5 books you shouldn’t read to your children. “The following five works of fiction do not encourage and inspire the love of reading in children.

Gospel Centered Discipleship – Gospel Centered Discipleship has a pretty good collection of ebooks and, for a limited time, they’ve marked them all down to $0.99.
When There Is Nothing to Say – This is another difficult but helpful article on helping others through their grief. It suggests what you might say or do when there is nothing to say.
I hold it to be a fact, that if all persons knew what each said of the other, there would not be four friends in the world.
—Blaise Pascal
