“I told her I intended to pursue her.

She told me she was going to the remotest part of the Congo she could find.

I told her we’d pray about it.”

(Evan Welcher, “How To Keep Your ‘I Do’ In The Present Tense”)

Welcome back to another edition of the Weekly Links, where we direct your attention to the embarrassment of riches made available to Christians with internet connections…

• First up, christianaudio.com is giving away a free copy of When Helping Hurts by Corbett and Fikkert. This is a fantastic resource for anyone who wants to think deeper and better on the implications of financial support and mercy ministries. Highly recommended.
• I like to think that someone over at Logos noticed I made fun of their free offering for January, and in a spirit of reconciliation hired someone to hack into my WTS account and see what books I do like. Ok, that probably didn’t happen, but they are giving away Michael Lawrence’s Biblical Theology in the Life of the Church, which is excellent. And while you could borrow it from our Library Ministry, now you don’t have to! You can have your own copy! Yes you can!
• Ligonier’s free book for February is RC Sproul’s The Prayer of the Lord. Just like Lawrence’s book, you could borrow this from the Library Ministry…but you don’t have to! Because it’s free in both .mobi (Kindle) and .epub (everything else) formats. So enjoy (or if you speak Czechlish…”enyoy!”).
• Speaking of those crazy / wonderful folks at Ligonier, the February edition of Tabletalk is out, and it deals with the subject of Hell. I have no jokes for that, because Hell is not funny.  It would also not be funny if you didn’t avail yourself to the excellent articles in Tabletalk. If you don’t know where to start with that, try the index I made for you.
• There’s also a new issue of Credo out, and this is on the subject of Justification. I have to admit, I wasn’t sure we needed another magazine / journal / ‘zine / whatever, but Credo has proved to be pretty top notch.

Ok, so now that the monthly resources are out of the way, let me direct your attention to just a few other neat things, and then I’ll leave you to it.

• James Anderson has a new book out on worldviews.  He’s also written a nice collection of articles on the subject, and you can read them. You should read them.
• “The Church needs more than nice men.” That’s the last sentence is this article on Franciscus Gomarus that you really should read. If for no other reason than you’ll know who Franciscus Gomarus is after you do.
• Ligonier did another Q&A with RC Sproul, and you can watch it.
• Lastly, I don’t really do much on Twitter…I don’t think I’ve ever twitted…tweeted…twote? But I know a lot of people who do…so here’s some good, Biblical advice on the topic of Twitter for beginners, for more advanced users, and for everyone.

That’s it.  See you Sunday!
