This week was actually problematic&#8230;unlike <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lighthousebc.com\/beacon\/?p=2319\">last week<\/a> where I focused entirely on one article, this week I find myself with an embarrassment of riches and a head full of cold medicine. So rather than swamp you in a ton of links, I&#8217;m going to split them up and give you part <em>deux <\/em>on Monday. So that&#8217;s something to look forward to. Or dread. Up to you really.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ok, this is truly awesome news. \u00a0The free audiobook this month from christianaudio.com is John Piper&#8217;s <em>Don&#8217;t Waste Your Life<\/em>. \u00a0We all know the expression that &#8220;you can&#8217;t have it all,&#8221; but in this case you can have the <a href=\"http:\/\/christianaudio.com\/free\/\" class=\"broken_link\">audiobook,<\/a> the <a href=\"http:\/\/cdn.desiringgod.org\/pdf\/books_dwyl\/sgdwl_full.pdf\">study guide,<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.desiringgod.org\/messages\/dont-waste-your-life--2\" class=\"broken_link\">sermon<\/a> for free&#8230;and that&#8217;s a LOT! (AUDIO\/PDF\/AUDIO)<\/li>\n<li>Also, it&#8217;s November! \u00a0And that means that the new edition of Tabletalk is out&#8230;this one deals with the subject of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ligonier.org\/blog\/columns-tabletalk-magazine-november-2010\/\" class=\"broken_link\">College and the Christian.<\/a> (WEB)<\/li>\n<li>We&#8217;ve had quite a few articles about the church lately, so I thought that you might benefit from this article from the Mars Hill Blog on the <a href=\"http:\/\/marshill.com\/2010\/10\/17\/the-invisible-and-visible-church\/\" class=\"broken_link\">Invisible and Visible Church.<\/a> (WEB) \u00a0And just in case you&#8217;re not familiar with those terms, the &#8220;invisible church&#8221; is not where the Invisible Woman goes to worship when she&#8217;s not hanging out with the rest of the Fantastic Four. \u00a0(Ok, only Pastor John will get that joke, but he will love it, and he needs to laugh).<\/li>\n<li>Not too long ago we highlighted <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lighthousebc.com\/beacon\/?p=2168\">specific ways<\/a> that you can serve the church. \u00a0Those are important, and if you&#8217;re a member and aren&#8217;t currently serving in some capacity, I would challenge you to really think about why that is. \u00a0However, the 9Marks blog recently ran a great article on how <a href=\"http:\/\/www.9marks.org\/blog\/how-members-can-serve-church-sunday-morning\" class=\"broken_link\">everyone can serve the church.<\/a> (WEB) \u00a0There&#8217;s 15 ways there&#8230;I&#8217;d personally challenge you to pick three and just <em>go for it<\/em> on Sunday. \u00a0I dare you.<\/li>\n<li>I don&#8217;t know Rosie Martinez personally (fun fact: I think my mom does), but this <a href=\"http:\/\/approachingdamascus.com\/2010\/10\/21\/dangerous-ministry\/\">makes me really wish I did.<\/a> (WEB\/VIDEO) If you know a missionary, this might be a great time to drop them a line of encouragement, pray for them, and thank God for them.<\/li>\n<li>One year after he was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor, Matt Chandler has an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/blogs\/justintaylor\/2010\/11\/01\/one-year-later-an-interview-with-matt-chandler\/\">interview<\/a> up over at Justin Taylor&#8217;s blog about theology and suffering. \u00a0(WEB)<\/li>\n<li>And last but not least, RC Sproul reflects on the horrendous <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ligonier.org\/blog\/train-wreck\/\" class=\"broken_link\">train wreck<\/a> that could have killed him, and the sovereign hand of God that prevented it from doing so. \u00a0(WEB)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Alright everyone. \u00a0Hopefully I&#8217;ll see you at the church retreat this weekend. \u00a0Spurgeon will be filling in for me tomorrow, and I&#8217;ll be back with part 2 on Monday.<\/p>\n<p><em>Pro Rege<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Stephen Rodgers Well hello there&#8230;(ok, that came out a little too much like the Old Spice Guy commerical).
