Is Anxiety Really Sin? – Julian begins an article on anxiety in this way: “‘Stress’ is not a biblical word. ‘Worry’ and ‘anxiety’ are. And they are sins. That’s the thought that started a conversation the other day. Can we actually say that something like anxiety is sin? What makes it a sin? Isn’t it just a weakness to be delivered from? Or, rather, shouldn’t we conceive of it as a mental illness?”

Ask John Piper – Desiring God relaunches the feature “Ask Pastor John.” “The point of the podcast is to connect more frequently with Pastor John throughout the week and hear his thoughts on the Bible, theology, ministry, and leadership, as well as his answers to theological questions and reactions to current events.”

30 Things – Here are 30 things you may not know about C.S. Lewis.

How God Solved My Grandfather’s Problem – I enjoyed reading this short story of how God solved one man’s seemingly impossible problem.

Digital Tabletalk – Ligonier Ministries has announced that Tabletalk magazine is now available on Kindle Fire, iPad and Android tablets.

Flowers Timelapse – This is a beautiful timelapse video.

We stand in the present but dwell on the past in order that we can be steadfast for the future.
