In <a href=\"http:\/\/mindofmachel.blogspot.com\/2010\/08\/no-true-scotsman-would-write-post-like.html\">this post<\/a>, the author critically dismantles the way that atheists sometimes try to use the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/No_true_Scotsman\">&#8220;No True Scotsman&#8221; fallacy<\/a> in arguments with Christians.  (WEB)<\/li>\n<li>The unpronounceable Tullian Tchividjian has a wonderful article on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/blogs\/tullian\/2010\/09\/08\/our-calling-our-spheres\/\">vocation and the glory of God.<\/a>  And I&#8217;m pretty sure the title is a reference to <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Abraham_Kuyper\">Kuyper<\/a>, so that&#8217;s the second time this week I&#8217;ve been made happy by a dead Dutch theologian.  (WEB)<\/li>\n<li>This has to be one of my favorite things I saw this week.  It&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/blogs\/justintaylor\/2010\/08\/26\/the-bible-is-not-basically-about-you\/\">an excerpt from Tim Keller&#8217;s talk at the 2007 TGC conference<\/a>, and it is <em>excellent<\/em>.  If you only look at one link today, this should be it.  (VIDEO)<\/li>\n<li>Over at Ligonier, RC Sproul explores the question of &#8220;If God is Sovereign, Why Pray?&#8221;  Part one is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ligonier.org\/blog\/if-god-sovereign-why-pray\/\" class=\"broken_link\">here<\/a>, and part two is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ligonier.org\/blog\/if-god-sovereign-why-pray-pt-2\/\" class=\"broken_link\">here<\/a>.  (WEB)<\/li>\n<li>Here&#8217;s one for all the marrieds at the church: over at the Mars Hill Blog, Mark and Grace Driscoll <em>each<\/em> give their top <a href=\"https:\/\/marshill.com\/2010\/08\/15\/18-lessons-from-18-years-of-marriage\/\" class=\"broken_link\">18 lessons-learned from 18 years of marriage.<\/a>  (WEB)<\/li>\n<li>And last but <em>definately<\/em> not least&#8230;remember how sad I was when the Al Mohler radio program ran it&#8217;s last episode?  Well, as they say in the movies, he&#8217;s baaaaaaaaaaaack.  And with not one, but <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/blogs\/justintaylor\/2010\/09\/08\/two-new-mohler-podcasts\/\">TWO podcasts!<\/a>  (I&#8217;m so happy!)  (AUDIO)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There were some other major events that happened this week of course.  That fellow down in Florida got everyone in a tizzy with his whole burn-the-Koran stunt, and Stephen Hawking seems to have announced that the law of gravity disproves God.  And while I&#8217;d like to take those <em>issues<\/em> seriously, I have a bit of a hard time taking these particular <em>instances<\/em> of them seriously.  They just strike me as publicity stunts.  As Jon Acuff wisely noted, &#8220;If they\u2019ve got a book they\u2019re releasing or a new album within two weeks of their proclamation, they haven\u2019t really made a proclamation, they\u2019ve made a press release.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>See you Sunday!<\/p>\n<p><em>Pro Rege<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Stephen Rodgers Well, we made it to Friday!
