Alright, I’m going to keep it short this week, since you also really should scroll down and read the SPARK below. So, this week…

• Last week we looked at the first two parts of an article by RC Sproul. The article explored the question of “If God is Sovereign, Why Pray?” This week, part 3 and part 4 are up as well. (WEB)
• Over at the Resurgence, the interview with Randy Alcorn continues, as they discuss transforming the hearts of a generation of givers. For what it’s worth, I found his book The Treasure Principle to be simply excellent. (VIDEO)
• Also, speaking of Randy Alcorn, here’s a quick excerpt from a video on him discussing the importance of the local church. (VIDEO)
• Over at Desiring God, they’ve got a great article on how to diagnose idolatries in our lives. (WEB) And I think I’ve mentioned it before, but I’ve found Powlison’s article on the subject to be one of the best things ever written on the subject of idolatry. (PDF)
• Also, I know a lot of folks at our church have benefitted greatly from the writing of Paul Tripp. Well, did you know that he’s written several articles for Desiring God and they’ve collected them all in one handy place? (WEB) Also, over at his website, he has 70 free audio programs that you can listen to as well. (AUDIO)
