I hope that you&#8217;re having a good week, and I hope you&#8217;ll enjoy the following articles and resources as we head into the weekend.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In case you really enjoyed the Michael Horton interviews we&#8217;ve been posting, and you&#8217;re jonesing for something more, we&#8217;ve got a couple of treats for you today. First up is an article by him entitled <a href=\"http:\/\/theresurgence.com\/2010\/05\/19\/renewing-the-great-commission\">Renewing the Great Commission<\/a> that I think will be a benefit to all of us, considering our own <a href=\"http:\/\/lighthousebc.com\/welcome\/mvp\/\">MVP<\/a>. And if you&#8217;re the type of person (like I am) who likes to print out the long versions of articles, including footnotes, there&#8217;s a <a href=\"http:\/\/theresurgence.com\/files\/pdfs\/Horton_Renewing-the-Great-Commission-full-article.pdf\">PDF just for you<\/a>. (WEB and PDF)<\/li>\n<li>Speaking of the great commission, here&#8217;s some food for thought. Erik over at Irish Calvinist write about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ordinarypastor.com\/?p=4309\">Why He Can Relate to Lazy International Ministries (and hates it)<\/a>. Convicted much? I know I was. (WEB)<\/li>\n<li>On the other hand, if you just want to know what Michael Horton&#8217;s Bible-time looks like, I have <a href=\"http:\/\/theresurgence.com\/2010\/05\/17\/what-does-michael-hortons-bible-time-look-like\">an article for you as well<\/a>. (WEB)<\/li>\n<li>Moving on from Michael Horton, Justin Taylor has an article up discussing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/blogs\/justintaylor\/2010\/05\/18\/alcohol-liberty-and-legalism\/\">Alcohol, Liberty, and Legalism<\/a>. I know that the topic has been discussed around the church before, and that article has some good points for your consideration. (WEB)<\/li>\n<li>Speaking of consideration, Ed Welch has an article over at the CCEF website on how <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ccef.org\/resources\/blog\/counseling-practical-theology\">counseling is practical theology<\/a>, and counselors are practical theologians. This is another article that is relevant to all of our lives, so I&#8217;d suggest reading it carefully. (WEB)<\/li>\n<li>Hopefully, all of you know who John MacArthur and RC Sproul are. You might have some of their books, or even grew up in a church they preached at. Well, despite being great friends, they have different views on baptism. RC Sproul holds to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ligonier.org\/rym\/\">the view of infant baptism<\/a>; John MacArthur holds to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ligonier.org\/rym\/\">the view of believer&#8217;s baptism<\/a>. This discussion\/debate is actually from the 1998 Ligonier National Conference, but is available for free now. (AUDIO)<\/li>\n<li>I guess that this is just the week for really good PDF files. Tim Keller wrote an article on <a href=\"http:\/\/download.redeemer.com\/pdf\/learn\/resources\/Centrality_of_the_Gospel-Keller.pdf\">The Centrality of the Gospel<\/a> in which he compares and contrasts the gospel with moralism\/religion and relativism\/irreligion. This is another great article, so I&#8217;ll let you get to it. (PDF)<\/li>\n<li>In his contribution to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ligonier.org\/learn\/articles\/?tt=42\">this month&#8217;s Tabletalk<\/a>, Kevin DeYoung wrote an article making a case for what he calls <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ligonier.org\/learn\/articles\/glory-plodding\/\">The Glory of Plodding<\/a>. In it, he addresses the perception that many have that the church has become merely routine and we&#8217;re called to something more. His reaction may surprise you. (WEB)<\/li>\n<li>Speaking of good PDFs, a couple of weeks ago we did an article on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lighthousebc.com\/beacon\/?p=1553\">Christian Journals<\/a>. I knew that I hadn&#8217;t recommended all of them, but I shamefully forgot a very important one: The Westminster Theological Journal. This is a publication of WTS, and you can always find their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wts.edu\/resources\/wtj.html\">latest issue<\/a> online along with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wts.edu\/resources\/wtj\/samparticles.html\" class=\"broken_link\">an archive of sample articles<\/a>. They only make 2 articles from each issues freely available, but those are almost always great reads (for example, Letham&#8217;s article: <a href=\"http:\/\/files.wts.edu\/uploads\/images\/files\/72.1.Letham.Catholicity%20Global%20and%20Historical.pdf\" class=\"broken_link\">Catholicity Global and Historical: Constantinople, Westminster, and the Church in the Twenty-First Century<\/a>).
