Love begets a likeness between the mind loving and the object beloved. A mind filled with the love of Christ as crucified will be changed into his image and likeness. (John Owen)

Another edition of weekly links is here. Enjoy!

• With all the hype about being gospel-centered, it’s easy to neglect or even question the power of the Holy Spirit. Tim Brister tackles this idea and shares how one is indispensable without the other.  
• Dr. Al Mohler, Jr. writes in Christianity Today about the recent announcement Tim Tebow made that he will not speak at the First Baptist Church of Dallas. It is a sobering reminder, and perhaps a wake-up call for some, that this is not an issue that only he faces.
• Addiction to pornography is becoming a rampant issue, even among many Christians. In light of this, Zach Nielsen shares some ways on how parents can raise their kids in a pornified culture.
• Over in Thom Rainier’s blog, Chuck Lawless shares seven steps to moving members into being involved in the life of the local church.
• David Powlison writes for the Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF) and says that the local church is the natural place for face-to-face biblical counseling.
• Last but definitely not least, over at the Theology Network, Kevin Vanhoozer shares a primer on the doctrine of biblical inerrancy. It’s a tad long, but well worth the read.

That it, folks. Have a great weekend!
