Alright, it’s Friday, and that means another collection of links from around the Christian blog-o-sphere. Enjoy!

• Lately, in both Christian and secular circles there has been quite a bit of discussion revolving around the idea of manhood and coming of age. Mars Hill Church did a month-long series entitled the Month of Manhood which pulled together quite a bit of material on the topic.
• Jared Wilson, pastor, blogger, and author recently wrote an article on the topic of missions. What makes it so interesting is that he identifies the region of New England as the new American missional frontier. I’ll let you read the article for yourself.
• I’ve discussed a number of Bible study software tools here in the past, but here’s a new one for you. Crossway is rolling out the ESV Online. They have some basic tools for free, with more available for purchase.
• Douglas Wilson, in his own inimitable style, has a bit of a different take on the proposed Muslim mosque/community center near Ground Zero. The article is absolutely worth a careful read as he handles the topic of conflicting worldviews supremely well.
• It’s a new month, and that means new journals! The new edition of Tabletalk is out, featuring the topic of The Good, The True, The Beautiful. And the new edition of the 9Marks eJournal is out, on the subject of Hell.
• The interview with Randy Alcorn continues with videos on the issues of a Christian approach to family planning as well as recommended reading.
• Ok, I’ll admit that my eyebrows got stuck in my hairline when I read this, but apparently Justin Taylor has scored an interview with the Apostle Paul.
• And here’s one for the PIT crew. Collin Hansen asked a number of theologians what is the one thing they would change about seminary. And if you were in my apologetics class, yes, that is the same Pratt.
