Do We Want Christ? Or To Be Wonderful Christians? – I appreciate what Elisha asks in this article: “Do I want to be a wonderful Christian, or do I want Christ? Does my soul long to be a better Christian or does my soul long for the living God? Do I simply want to grow in Christlike character or do I want deeper intimacy with the Person of Christ.”

The New Calvinism – PBS did a feature on the New Calvinism, focusing on the SBC. It’s not like they discovered anything we didn’t already know, but it’s still interesting enough, I guess.

The British Isles in Accents – This is pretty neat: A tour of the British Isles through its accents.

Distracted from Shepherding a Child’s Heart – There is food for thought in this article, though I’m not convinced the problem is quite as bad as he makes it out to be.

The NSA Spying Machine – Here’s an interactive graphic meant to show what we know that NSA is able to do.

Reporting Abuse – Here’s an important article on pastoral wisdom and the mandate to report abuse.
