If Christ had been murdered by thieves or slain in an insurrection by a raging mob, in such a death there would have been no evidence of satisfaction.

But when he was arraigned before the judgment seat as a criminal, accused and pressed by testimony, and condemned by the mouth of the judge to die—we know by these proofs that he took the role of a guilty man and evildoer.  (John Calvin)

• As the saga of the American moral demise continues, Al Mohler comments on the chaplains who serve in the military that repealed “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”
• Here’s a short anecdote from Trevin Wax on teaching our children the meaning of gathering for worship on Sundays. Indeed, we can easily forget the reason we gather.
• Nathan Busenitz began a series on the Cripplegate looking at the evidence that the Reformers did not invent anything about the gospel. I enjoyed his narrative of Martin Luther here. He continued his series this past week with part 2 here.
• Kevin DeYoung and Justin Taylor made a (slightly awkward) interview video promoting DeYoung’s new book Crazy Busy. My favorite part: “… like on Mondays?”
• Here’s a quote from the book Blood Work Ligonier Ministries is offering for free. If you haven’t downloaded it yet, you should.
• Joe Thorn from the Christward Collective has an article on the gospel and how it leads to godliness. It’s spot on.

I hope you’re having a great flocks week. See you on Sunday!

Coram Deo
