The difference between a Christian and non-Christian: When a non-Christian is convicted of sin, he sides with his sin. When a Christian is convicted of sin, he sides with God, against himself. (Mark Dever. HT: Desiring God)

Welcome to Friday!  A few people have mentioned that they greatly prefer the slimmed-down version of the WL that I’ve been doing lately…so we’ll continue on that theme for now.

• We’re halfway into April, and thus far I neglected to mention to you that christianaudio.com has a new free book!  This month, the free giveaway is Corrie ten Boom’s The Hiding Place. You can hit the link for your free copy. (AUDIO)
• Piggybacking on Cesar’s most recent post, which in turn was a summary of a message I preached, I thought I’d pass along this article from Jared Wilson (actually quoting David Powlison), on “How to Identify Your Idols,” (which I used in preparing for the message).  How’s that for coming full circle? (WEB)
• Remember how I told you that John Piper is preaching through his seminal work, Desiring God?  Last week, I pointed out the link for chapters 1 and 2; this week, I’m pointing out the link for chapters 3 and 4. You don’t want to miss this. (VIDEO)
• And in keeping with our recent focus on peacemaking, over at the Resurgence they’ve formatted and packaged a great article by Tim Keller entitled “Serving Each Other Through Forgiveness and Reconciliation.” It’s a 10-page PDF, but well worth your time.  So hit the link, print it out, and carry it around with you until you get an opportunity to read it carefully…and try to do it soon. (PDF)

That’s it for this week folks.  See you Sunday!
