We&#8217;re back with a collection of links from around the internet this week.

Tullian Tchividjian wrote a rather eyebrow-raising article on why <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/article\/im-thankful-for-pain\/\">he is thankful for pain<\/a>.  Over at TeamPyro, Dan Phillips continued his series on gratitude by discussing how <a href=\"http:\/\/teampyro.blogspot.com\/2009\/11\/grateful-for-goodness-of-creation.html\">he is grateful for the goodness of creation<\/a>.  And last but not least, Al Mohler posted a fantastic article on how <a href=\"http:\/\/www.albertmohler.com\/2009\/11\/25\/they-did-not-honor-him-as-god-or-give-thanks\/\">a lack of God-directed thankfulness is a hallmark of atheism<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>On a new theme, Tim Challies has started a new series for men on Biblical leadership in the home.  The first four articles have covered his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.challies.com\/christian-living\/leadership-in-the-home-introduction\">introduction<\/a>, a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.challies.com\/christian-living\/leadership-in-the-home-a-defense\">brief defense of male headship<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.challies.com\/christian-living\/leadership-in-the-home-a-godly-man-leads\">ways that men are called to lead<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.challies.com\/christian-living\/leadership-in-the-home-a-godly-man-protects\">the husband&#8217;s role in protection<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Requiring fewer links (this week), Phil Johnson has wrapped up his series on gambling with <a href=\"http:\/\/teampyro.blogspot.com\/2009\/11\/gambling-moral-antithesis-of-charity.html\">one final article discussing gambling vs. charity<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Meanwhile, Justin Taylor continues with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/blogs\/justintaylor\/2009\/11\/26\/what-is-gospel-centered-ministry-part-4\/\">part four<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/blogs\/justintaylor\/2009\/11\/27\/what-is-gospel-centered-ministry-part-5\/\">part five<\/a> of his series on what gospel-centered ministry is.<\/li>\n<li>On a lighter note, here are some fun rhymes for memorizing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eudesign.com\/mnems\/apostles.htm\">the twelve disciples of Jesus<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eudesign.com\/mnems\/bibleold.htm\">the books of the Old Testament<\/a>.  (WARNING: comments by the owner of those pages show that the author doesn&#8217;t hold to a traditional view of scripture, but rather favors the approach of higher criticism.  The rhymes are still fun).\n<\/li>\n<li>Over at the Resurgence, the series on the Trinity continues with <a href=\"http:\/\/theresurgence.com\/2009\/11\/29\/the-mystery-of-the-trinity\">the mystery of the Trinity<\/a>, followed by <a href=\"http:\/\/theresurgence.com\/2009\/11\/30\/misunderstandings-of-the-trinity\">misunderstandings of the Trinity<\/a>.  If you&#8217;re currently in the Single&#8217;s ministry, you should recognize some good information regarding the Holy Spirit in these articles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And for folks who think they don&#8217;t have time to read a series of articles, here&#8217;s a few that stand by themselves:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mark Driscoll continues his interview with RC Sproul by asking, <a href=\"http:\/\/theresurgence.com\/2009\/11\/30\/what-is-the-biggest-upcoming-theological-battle\">&#8220;What is the biggest theological battle that the upcoming generation of pastors and teachers will have to fight?&#8221;<\/a><\/li>\n<li>If you watched that video interview, then you probably figured out why I picked this next article as well.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.csmonitor.com\/Commentary\/Opinion\/2009\/1130\/p09s03-coop.html\">Kevin DeYoung writes on the doctrine of justification<\/a>&#8230;as an opinion piece in a magazine.  Check it out.<\/li>\n<li>So when one of the most recognized urban-centered pastors of our time is asked how to grow as a pastor&#8230;he responds by saying <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/article\/the-country-parson\/\">become a country parson<\/a> (pastor).  Read why Tim Keller said that.<\/li>\n<li>And let&#8217;s go out with a bang: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/article\/3-truths-that-change-your-life\/\" class=\"broken_link\">3 truths that change your life<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>See you next week!<\/p>\n<p><em>Pro Rege<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Stephen Rodgers Well hello again!
