A La Carte (July 8)

NeuYear Calendars – Over at Facebook I am giving away 10 of those awesome NeuYear calendars. These are academic year calendars designed specifically for students.

Sing to the Lord a Simple Song – There is something to be said for this (though I wish the author had given a few examples). I believe there is a place for simple songs, like “The Gospel Song.”

Theological Fitness – The theme of this week’s deals at Westminster Books is theological growth and health (for women in particular).

Indelible Grace – Indelible Grace is touring this fall and may be coming to a city near you. Unfortunately they aren’t coming to Toronto…

How a Film Projector Works – I found this downright fascinating. “Bill Hammack tears apart a film projector to reveal the amazing mechanisms used in the pre-digital age to trick the mind into seeing a moving image.”

Catching Sleep and Catching Revival – John Starke has a helpful reflection on revival. “Smith uses the analogy of sleep to help us think about rhythms of discipleship, but what if the dynamic of sleep is the same for spiritual awakening in our churches?”

Wilson

Only the Gospel goes deep enough to effect real hard change. Everything else is just behavior modification.

  • Execution

    Would You Attend Your Son’s Execution?

    I have never known a mother whose son was executed, much less a mother whose son was executed despite being provably innocent. Though I can’t ask, I have sometimes wondered: Is it typical for a mother to attend her son’s execution?
