Weekly Links (7/9/2010)

by Stephen Rodgers

Welcome back! It’s Friday, which is a bit of a surprise for all of us who work due to the shortened week (hooray for holidays!). But hooray as well for the weekly links:

  • There’s been a little bit of back and forth on this issue lately between some folks blogs, so over at his blog Justin Taylor laid out A Primer on Limited (or Definite) Atonement. It’s worth a read. And if you’re still interested in reading a little bit more on the topic, I would recommend James White’s article Was Anyone Saved at the Cross.
  • Speaking of atonement, Michael Horton has written an article over at the Resurgence on Why Substitutionary Atonement Remains Crucial. It’s also available in an easily-printable PDF version with footnotes (hooray footnotes!).
  • It’s the end of an era. The Albert Mohler radio program is no more. I’d highly recommend the last two episodes, which are explained here, (or you can just go here directly). Also, Al has written a summary of what he spoke about on the last day which is worth thoughtful examination.
  • Speaking of radio, or at least things that make sound (ok, awkward segue I’ll admit), the free book for July from christianaudio.com is A.W. Tozer’s The Pursuit of God. If you don’t know who Tozer is…well, he’s awesome. Seriously. GET THIS FREE AUDIO BOOK.
  • The July edition of Tabletalk is out, and it’s all on the subject of worship. By now you know about Tabletalk, and you know how good it is. Enjoy!
  • And ladies! I have something for you too…(ok, wait, that sounded creepy). I have something about you! (That really wasn’t an improvement). Ok, nevermind the clever intro…the latest edition of the 9Marks eJournal is out, and it’s on the topic of Pastoring Women. Everyone’s favorite/mandated author Jonathan Leeman writes an excellent article for it as well.
  • You’ll recall that a couple weeks ago I linked to notes from the 2010 Ligonier National Conference. Well, if those interested you (and I’m sure they did!) you can now view any of the talks online. C’mon! The video is available! What are you waiting for?
  • You all remember when I posted the link to John Piper’s famous Don’t Waste Your Cancer article/sermon right? It’s amazing…it’s Biblical…but for a lot of us, it’s difficult to relate directly. That’s why I appreciated Dan Phillips’ posting this funny-sounding but very serious correllative entitled Don’t Waste Your Feeling-Really-Yucky.

That’s it folks. See you Sunday!
