We&#8217;re back, and just like last week, we&#8217;re keeping it short.  However, this is going to just be one of those weeks where everything is heavy on the text-side&#8230;no music or videos this time.  But I think you&#8217;ll still really enjoy what we&#8217;ve got&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You might have seen the news already, but a preacher was arrested in Great Britain recently.  Apparently, according to their new law, merely saying &#8220;homosexuality is a sin&#8221; constitutes hate speech.  Al Mohler has an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.albertmohler.com\/2010\/05\/04\/its-getting-dangerous-out-there-a-preacher-is-arrested-in-britain\/\">article with the details<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Don Whitney has a great article on <a href=\"http:\/\/biblicalspirituality.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Ask-People-How-You-Can-Pray-for-Them.pdf\" class=\"broken_link\">six words that can open hearts<\/a>.  You should check it out.<\/li>\n<li>In case you missed it, a couple weeks ago we had a special edition of the Weekly Links that focused on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lighthousebc.com\/beacon\/?p=1553\">Christian journals<\/a>.  So it might interest you to check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ligonier.org\/blog\/columns-tabletalk-magazine-may-2010\/\" class=\"broken_link\">latest edition of Tabletalk<\/a> (on the topic of sanctification) as well as the highlights from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/article\/new-9marks-ejournal-on-deacons\/\">latest edition of the IXMarks eJournal<\/a> (on the topic of deacons).<\/li>\n<li>For those of you who might be struggling or reflecting on their personal spiritual disciplines, here&#8217;s a tag-team of articles for you.  The folks over at DG remind us that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.desiringgod.org\/blog\/posts\/devotions-arent-magic\" class=\"broken_link\">devotions aren&#8217;t magic<\/a>, and Tim Challies has a good article up on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.challies.com\/christian-living\/how-to-pray-badly\">how to pray badly<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Did you know that Johnny Cash wrote a biography on the apostle Paul?  Yeah&#8230;me neither.  And I like both those guys.  However, the best thing that came out of that project might just be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reformation21.org\/blog\/2010\/05\/johnny-cash-on-commentaries.php\" class=\"broken_link\">this quote<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>For those of you looking to get some deals on Christian resources, you might want to make a habit of checking out Ligonier Ministries&#8217; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ligonier.org\/store\/collection\/5-friday\/\">$5 Fridays<\/a>.  Each Friday, a bunch of resources that are normally quite a bit pricier will be offered for just $5 each.<\/li>\n<li>Ok, this article is a bit of a beast, but I found it quite enjoyable.  David Hart laments that he simply <a href=\"http:\/\/www.firstthings.com\/article\/2010\/05\/believe-it-or-not\">can&#8217;t find intellectually-serious atheism<\/a> among the self-styled New Atheists.  If you just want to scan the cliff-notes version, you can do so <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/blogs\/justintaylor\/2010\/05\/05\/nostalgia-for-the-old-days-of-intellectually-serious-atheism\/\">here<\/a>, but I do recommend the whole article.<\/li>\n<li>And just to wrap everything up, there&#8217;s something in this post for EVERYONE.  I don&#8217;t want to spoil it for you.  Let&#8217;s just say that it&#8217;s called <a href=\"http:\/\/teampyro.blogspot.com\/2010\/05\/classic-jesus-and-losers.html\">&#8220;Jesus and Losers&#8221;<\/a> and leave it at that.  But it&#8217;s short, easy-to-read, and worth thinking about long after you&#8217;ve finished, so enjoy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Pro Rege!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Stephen Rodgers Hey everyone!
