Welcome to a special edition of the weekly links.  Since I&#8217;m travelling this week (volcano permitting), I thought you might like a week to catch up a little, but add a few really good resources to your Christian bookmarks.<\/p>\n<p>This week, I&#8217;m going to focus on something you might not be terribly familiar with: Christian journals.  Basically, these are like magazines on the internet.  There&#8217;s a number of articles, usually centered around a theme, that come out on a scheduled basis.  This week, we&#8217;ll look at a few that you might enjoy.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First up is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.9marks.org\/journal\/lay-elders-users-guide-part-1\" class=\"broken_link\"><strong>9Marks eJournal<\/strong><\/a>.  As you know, 9Marks is an organization that mostly revolves around Mark Dever and his folk.  Every two months or so, they put out a new collection of articles on a particular topic.  Right now the topic is &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.9marks.org\/journal\/deacons\">Deacons<\/a>,&#8221; but previous issues include topics like &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.9marks.org\/journal\/missions\">Missions<\/a>,&#8221; &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.9marks.org\/journal\/young-pastors\">Young Pastors<\/a>,&#8221; and others.  There&#8217;s also an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.9marks.org\/journal\/archive\" class=\"broken_link\">archive<\/a> where you can browse past issues.<\/li>\n<li>Next up is Ligonier Ministries&#8217; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ligonier.org\/tabletalk\/\"><strong>Tabletalk<\/strong><\/a>.  Ligonier Ministries is the ministry of RC Sproul and friends, so you&#8217;ll see articles from other notable folks like Joel Beeke, Tim Challies, and John MacArthur.  For example, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ligonier.org\/blog\/columns-tabletalk-magazine-april-2010\/\" class=\"broken_link\">April&#8217;s edition<\/a> dealt with the topic of changes in culture and technology.  They also have an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ligonier.org\/tabletalk\/past-issues\/\">archive<\/a> where you can check out past issues.  They make a number of articles available for free, but to get access to everything, they&#8217;d like you to <a href=\"https:\/\/subscribe.pcspublink.com\/sub\/subscribe.aspx?guid=2b4666f0-8116-490c-b975-422d2d49cd1e\" class=\"broken_link\">subscribe<\/a> for a nominal fee.<\/li>\n<li>Next up is TGC&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/themelios.thegospelcoalition.org\/\"><strong>Themelios Journal<\/strong><\/a>, which has been running strong since 1975!  DA Carson is the editor, so expect good stuff.  It can be a little hard to navigate, but very useful for finding gems.  If you&#8217;re not sure where to start, here&#8217;s the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/article\/themelios-35-1\/\">latest issue<\/a>, a list of some of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/article\/more-themelios-highlights\/\">highlights<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/blogs\/kevindeyoung\/2010\/04\/21\/heresy-a-history-of-defending-the-truth-2\/\">a sample book review<\/a> by Kevin DeYoung.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Anyhow, those are definitely the top recommendations I have for you.  If that&#8217;s still not enough for you, then you might want to check out the following as well:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>TCG&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/thegospelcoalition.org\/cci\/\"><strong>Christ on Campus Initiative<\/strong><\/a> is new but promising.  They don&#8217;t have a lot of articles up yet, but some are quite good.<\/li>\n<li>ICR&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.icr.org\/aaf\/\"><strong>Acts &amp; Facts<\/strong><\/a> is an online journal dealing with scientific issues pertaining to the doctrine of creation.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.credenda.org\/\"><strong>CREDENDAagenda<\/strong><\/a> is the journal of Douglas Wilson and friends.  They have several new articles each week, along with an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.credenda.org\/index.php\/Uncategorized\/pdf-archive.html\">archive<\/a> of past printed issues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And remember, not every author shares all of the particular theological views that we do here at LBC (some might be old-earth creationists, some might be paedo-baptists, and so forth), but you can still read their articles, sharpen your thinking, and enjoy their contribution as you grow closer to God.<\/p>\n<p>And if you know of any other great online journals that I didn&#8217;t mention, shoot me an email or find me at church and maybe we can do part two sometime!<\/p>\n<p><em>Pro Rege<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Stephen Rodgers Hey everyone!
