Jesus and Non-Violence – “Does Jesus’s teaching in the sermon on the Mount to “turn the other cheek” and not resist evil require pacifism on the part of Christians?” Here’s a good little article from the Crossway blog.

Law-Gospel Off the Rails – I post this only because of Tullian’s popularity as a blogger and author. Some of what he is teaching is becoming increasingly problematic as Rick Phillips points out here.

Fire on the Mountain – Michael Horton finds an illustration of law and gospel close to his home and workplace.
