EXTRA ETHER: eBooks Gone in 5 Years?

This individual predicts that e-Books will be gone within five years and replaced by more of the internet. Better start preparing now, or stop preparing. In other words, don't stock up on too many e-Books. Stick with paperback!

Count Robert de La Rochefoucauld

This man's life was simply amazing. He biography comes highly recommended, and I can't wait to read it. I think he is a great example of courage and loyalty and faithfulness.

Sinners in a Fishbowl

This is a sobering perspective on the lives of Pastor's kids. It makes me pray all the more for my own kids. I think it is worth your time to give it a read so you can appreciate the difficulties of children who live under constant scrutiny.

Three Coyotes and a Sheep

This is a great article by Douglas Wilson on democracy. I appreciated it most for the way he articulates that all human authority is a limited authority. This is true, and it has application to every father, mother, pastor, and teacher. Remember, yours is a human authority. Therefore, it is limited.

The Presence of the Lamb and the Sufferings of Hell

This is a helpful corrective. Christ is both present and not present in the punishment of hell. It is not contradictory, but paradoxical.

The “I’m Offended” Game

Best article of the week in my opinion. Too many play the "I'm offended!" card.

"The conversation is rolling along, point-counterpoint, point-counterpoint, in a roughly linear and logical manner, until someone decides to grasp the snitch and win the whole game in one fell swoop."

That's it for this week guys. I was away from my family all week, was preoccupied with tons of different things going on, and as a result, the blog pickings were slim. I hope that what has been posted will bless you.

Now take care of that which the Chief Shepherd has entrusted to you. See you tomorrow for worship!
