Well, I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving and hasn’t been put into a turkey-coma or injured at a Black Friday sale.  For those of you who are awake and able to read, we present to you a new edition of the Weekly Links:

• For those of you who are curious about such things, the folks over at 9Marks have linked to the content from our 2010 All Church Retreat. So in case we’ve picked up any new readers because of that, welcome to the Beacon! (AUDIO)  (Warning, the links that 9Marks provided in their article are a bit goofy, but you can just go here to get everything).
• For those of you still interested in the articles we’ve posted recently regarding digital life and social media, I’ve got a couple interesting ones for you: first up is this article from John Piper on 5 Dangers of Computer Unreality…from 1994.  Kind of prophetic, actually.  And then, I have an excerpt from CS Lewis The Screwtape Letters on how we constantly crave something new. Both are insightful warnings from the past. (WEB)
• Considering the recent articles that Elder Mike Chon has been writing regarding Biblical decision-making, I thought that this quick summary post from Choosing Hats would be very helpful for many people.  It’s entitled Should We Be Neutral? and it touches on several of the same points that he’s been making. (WEB)
• Last week we touched on a video from John Piper warning my generation of what he sees to be the greatest weakness in our theology/theopraxis.  There has been some furor over that video, but I think these two articles actually get the greater point: The Hole In Our Holiness by Kevin DeYoung and The 3 Most Disturbing Words on TV by Mike Cosper.  (WEB) Both are definitely worth your time.

Well, that’s it.  See you Sunday!
