This week proved to be relatively light on links, which turned out to be a bit of blessing considering how busy it was personally. I think part of that was due to a lot of bloggers and writers being at T4G, and the fact that I&#8217;m still ever-so-slightly behind on my reading. And so, without further ado, this weeks links are&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Kevin DeYoung has a FANTASTIC series on dealing with disappointment in the church. Whether you&#8217;re a pastor, elder, member, or visitor, this is the must-read link of the week. Be sure to check out part <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/blogs\/kevindeyoung\/2010\/04\/07\/dealing-with-disappointment-in-the-church-1\/\">one<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/blogs\/kevindeyoung\/2010\/04\/08\/dealing-with-disappointment-in-the-church-2\/\">two<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/blogs\/kevindeyoung\/2010\/04\/09\/dealing-with-disappointment-in-the-church-3\/\">three<\/a>. (WEB)<\/li>\n<li>The folks over at Desiring God have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.desiringgod.org\/all-resources\/by-language\/chinese-simplified\" class=\"broken_link\">launched a Chinese language website<\/a>. My first inclination was to shrug and move on, but then it occurred to me that I have a LOT of brothers and sisters who know people who speak Chinese! So this is probably relevant to your interests. (WEB)<\/li>\n<li>Piper continues to be a bit of a hot topic even as things are winding down. Voddie Baucham has a list of things to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gracefamilybaptist.net\/voddie-baucham-ministries\/blog\/10-things-i-hope-we-learn-john-pipers-leave-absenc-2010-04\/\" class=\"broken_link\">learn from his leave of absence<\/a>, and Phil Johnson weighs in on the <a href=\"http:\/\/teampyro.blogspot.com\/2010\/04\/on-piper-warren-connection.html\">invitation to Rick Warren<\/a>. Both are worth careful reading and reflection. (WEB)<\/li>\n<li>I thought this was very interesting. An editorial examining the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/federal-politics\/society-and-culture\/passion-and-power-the-many-portraits-of-pontius-pilate-20100401-rhq6.html\" class=\"broken_link\">life and behavior of Pontius Pilate<\/a>. (WEB)<\/li>\n<li>And for your missions-related link of the week, I present to you: the <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20100417034309\/http:\/\/www.desiringgod.org:80\/Blog\/2345_the_difficult_death_of_adoniram_judson\/\">Difficult Death of Adoniram Judson<\/a>. Are you praying for our church family in Tucuman and Ostrava? Now would be a good time to start. (WEB)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.challies.com\/\">Tim Challies<\/a> is trying to take over the world. This week he&#8217;s announced that he&#8217;s starting a <a href=\"http:\/\/friends.challies.com\/\">friends of the blog program<\/a>, entering into the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.challies.com\/cruciform-press\/announcing-cruciform-press\">world of e-publishing<\/a>, and starting a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.challies.com\/writings\/podcast\/connected-kingdom-podcast-episode-1\" class=\"broken_link\">podcast series<\/a>. If you read a lot of Challies, then at least one of these announcements is probably interesting for you. (WEB and MP3)<\/li>\n<li>Thom Rainer had an interesting article on the <a href=\"http:\/\/thomrainer.com\/2012\/12\/10\/seven-characteristics-of-an-effective-critic\/\" class=\"broken_link\">Seven Characteristics of Highly Evangelistic Christians<\/a>. Title similarities notwithstanding, I liked it better than Covey&#8217;s book. (WEB)<\/li>\n<li>And here&#8217;s a question for you&#8230;what happens when you mix up sermon excerpts and hip-hop music? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.1031sermonjams.com\/home.html\">This happens<\/a>. And considering how inexpensive they are (free!) they should take over your MP3 player.
