Tributes have been written about him all week, most of which have been <a href=\"http:\/\/biblicalspirituality.org\/a-collection-of-tributes-to-jerry-bridges\/\">collected by Don Whitney<\/a>. Paul Tautges\u00a0wrote what most of us would consider our perspective: Bridges as an <a href=\"http:\/\/counselingoneanother.com\/2016\/03\/08\/jerry-bridges-my-unseen-mentor\/\">unseen mentor<\/a>. Also, the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals, in honor of Bridges&#8217; life and ministry, have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alliancenet.org\/seen-and-heard\/remembering-jerry-bridges\" class=\"broken_link\">made available some of the messages<\/a> he gave at their Philadelphia Conference on Reformed Theology for free this month. Make sure you get a chance to continue to be blessed by the faithful life of one of God&#8217;s servants.<\/li>\n<li>Jason Engwer annually posts about Easter and the number of topics that come up around this time on the Triablogue website. Here&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/triablogue.blogspot.com\/2016\/03\/easter-resources-2016.html\">his post for 2016<\/a>,\u00a0which also includes links to previous years&#8217; posts. This is a great tool to get involved in apologetics about the central event in all of Christianity, actually in all of history.<\/li>\n<li>Danielle Spencer writes of the importance of <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.thegospelcoalition.org\/kevindeyoung\/2016\/03\/08\/on-thinking-generationally\/\">thinking of the next generation<\/a> as our culture continues to spiral downward into moral darkness, providing a few goals for those involved in the discipling of children in the church, whether they&#8217;re your own or someone else&#8217;s. Natasha Crain addresses a common question many kids eventually ask: <a href=\"http:\/\/crossexamined.org\/do-your-kids-know-why-they-need-god\/\">&#8220;why does God matter so much?&#8221;<\/a><\/li>\n<li>On church history matters, Kenneth Samples gives a <a href=\"https:\/\/reflectionsbyken.wordpress.com\/2016\/03\/08\/christian-thinkers-101-a-crash-course-on-st-augustine\/\">crash course post on Augustine<\/a>, while Steve Lawson was recently interviewed on his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ligonier.org\/blog\/passionate-preaching-martyn-lloyd-jones-new-steven-lawson-and-reformation-trust\/\" class=\"broken_link\">newest book about Pastor Martin Lloyd-Jones<\/a>.

Stephen Nichols gives the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ligonier.org\/blog\/why-statement-christ-matters-now-ligonier-statement-christology\/\" class=\"broken_link\">reasons why they made a statement<\/a>, which includes affirmations &amp; denials, an explanatory essay, and more. This could be a great resource for further study into the Person and work of our Savior. They even translated it into 15 languages (including Spanish and Chinese)!<\/li>\n<li>Michael Kruger writes of the <a href=\"http:\/\/michaeljkruger.com\/apathetic-about-your-apathy-here-is-why-a-lukewarm-church-is-a-bigger-problem-than-we-think\/\">problem of the lukewarm church<\/a>. Trust me, it&#8217;s a bigger problem than most people think!<\/li>\n<li>How should we approach the Bible?
