Weekly Links (3/21/2011)

by Stephen Rodgers

Thanks for your patience.  The earthquake/tsunami/nuclear reactor catastrophe in Japan last week and the Singles’ Retreat last weekend pushed the Weekly Links to today.  Also, before we get to the Weekly Links, I wanted to point out that John Piper has some comments on the situation in Japan, and Desiring God has put up a list of Christian relief organizations as well.

First of all, I wanted to direct your attention to the Recommended Resources page, particularly the Software and Study section.  It used to just be the “Software” section, but I added “and Study” so that I would have somewhere to put resources like Biblegateway.com, CCEL, and the NET Bible.  Enjoy!

And with that out of the way, we can get to a few other links that you might like…

  • A few weeks ago I posted a link to an audio version of the Westminster Shorter Catechism. If you’re not sure exactly what the WSC is, then perhaps you would like to hear Curtis Allen and DA Carson rap an explanation for you? (Trust me, this is probably the only time you’ll ever hear DA Carson holler “west side!”) (AUDIO)
  • Over at the Ligonier blog, RC Sproul Jr. has an article entitled 5 Things I’m Surprised I Can’t Find in the Bible. In it, he highlights a number of issues where Christians hold to different opinions.  (WEB)
  • I can’t remember how I found it, but there’s a video on Youtube that shows word clouds for all 66 books of the Bible (for those who don’t know what a “word cloud” is, it’s basically a grouping of words from a particular document, where words with higher frequency counts are represented in larger font). (VIDEO)
  • Over at Triablogue, they recently had a great article with an excerpt from a book describing Christianity’s Influence on Friendship. (WEB)
  • And this one goes out to all the hard-working servants in our own Youth Ministry.  In 2002 John Piper delivered a powerful challenge to men and women who are responsible for leading youth and college ministries.  You can listen to or download the sermon here. (AUDIO)

There you go!  Thanks again for your patience.
