A Gospel-Centered Response to Blog Attacks in Bandit Country
2009-06-04 13:00:00 Carl Trueman has a great post on dealing with web critics or blog attacking bandits.

The Gospel?s Work in Believers, Conclusion
2009-06-03 15:24:00 Continued from part 2. We have seen that the Gospel has many purposes for believers beyond initial conversion. It is as much for believers as unbelievers.

The Gospel?s Work in Believers, Part 2
2009-05-31 19:57:00 Continued from part 1. So, in the gospel, as unbelievers we found acceptance through Christ and forgiveness from sin. But as believers, don?t we rely on that acceptance as we work out our salvation? Don?t we need to be constantly challenged to obey more and be more faithful to God? Does our spiritual life depend in ... More About: Religion , Work , Gospel , Part , Perseverance

Book Review Blogging Made Easy
2009-05-26 19:56:00 I’ve written before about how to get books for free by reviewing them on your blog. Since that post, more and more Christian publishers are starting up book review programs for bloggers. Rather than having to email publishers and plead for a book, they are soliciting you to join their book review program. That makes ... More About: Book Review , Review , Blogging , Book , Made
Mircroblogging: Twitter As the New Frontier of Blogging
2009-05-21 18:41:00 Twitter is steadily becoming more and more popular, especially with bloggers. If you haven’t explored Twitter yet, you’re missing out on the microblogging revolution. Blogging is great, but particularly with biblioblogging, posts can tend to be lengthy and updating one’s blog can be time-consuming.

What I Mean by Preaching :: Desiring God
2009-05-14 08:17:00 Preaching is Expository Exultation. This clip is a good illustration of the importance of preaching. It was from Saturday night’s message. We saw Piper live at the north campus Sunday morning, and the video from that would have been even more passionate! I trust you’ll all enjoy this clip and rejoice ...

The Bible on Hair Care
2009-05-08 13:49:00 No, I haven’t yet found a Biblical defense for using Pert’s Plus. I’m talking about what the Bible says about hair length. This may be a surprise to you, but listen to what Paul says in 1 Cor. 11:14-15. Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace for ...

Tweeting the Gospel
2009-05-06 05:20:00 Twitter is becoming more and more popular these days. One of the things it does is force us to be succinct, which is good.
