One Anothers – Ray Ortlund has a list of “one another” commands he can’t find in the New Testament. They include Sanctify one another, humble one another, scrutinize one another, pressure one another, embarrass one another and a whole lot more.

How YouTube and Internet Journalism Destroyed Tom Cruise – It’s an odd subject, I admit. But it’s a fascinating article about how we can ignore wider context and focus on the sound bite.
