Gospel in Life – Gospel in Life is a new site that brings together resources from Tim Keller.

God’s Great Dance Floor – This is an interesting look at modern worship music and the influence of electronic dance music.

Dealing with Digital Cruelty – There’s a bit of psychobabble in this one, but the heart of the article is interesting. The author tries to figure out why people are so mean when they go online and what we can do when people are cruel to us.
