“He who comes forth fresh from beholding the face of God will never fear the face of man.” (Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Faith’s Checkbook, July 17)

Now that we’ve let a little time pass since the first of the month, all the relevant articles seem to have been posted…which means I can pass them on to you!

First up, there’s the obligatory new resources…

• christianaudio.com’s free book of the month is God’s Smuggler, the story of a man who started smuggling Bibles into Eastern Europe in the 1950’s, and eventually started a ministry to do similar work worldwide.
• The new edition of Tabletalk is out this month as well, and the theme is Union with Christ. Tabletalk regularly puts out some of the best content I see on a monthly basis, so if you haven’t started reading it yet, you might want to check our index of back issues as well.
• There’s also a new issue of Credo Magazine freely available, this one dealing with the sudden resurgence of interest in the doctrine of purgatory among evangelicals. They also have a few other fascinating issues in their archive, and it’s not too late to start catching up!

Next, there’s the obligatory returning/continuing resources…

• Tim Challies is marching onward through his series on essential doctrines of Christianity.  Recently he added articles on Salvation, Judgment, and Heaven.
• Speaking of Challies, he’s also started a series where he gives recommendations on what he considers to be the best commentaries for specific books of the Bible.  He’s alternating between the OT and the NT, so he’s made suggestions for both Genesis and Matthew.

And lastly there are the articles and audio that I just thought deserved your attention…

• We recently did a Q&A at LBC (the audio doesn’t seem to be up yet).  Not to be outdone, John MacArthur also did a 2-part Q&A (part 1 and part 2) and John Piper has restarted his “Ask Pastor John” series.  Enjoy!
