This week, different sources continued to produce great output for us believers in this dark world. With that said, here are this week\u2019s links.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Oxford English Dictionary has announced their word of the year: <i>selfie<\/i>. Nathan Eshelman has a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.challies.com\/sponsored\/love-thy-neighbor-as-thy-selfie\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">concise and pointed diagnosis of the urge to take selfies<\/span><\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Michael Kruger has begun a series responding to professors who no longer believe in inerrancy, with a contributory piece from Professor Greg Beale, one of the leading defenders of inerrancy contra Peter Enns. His <a href=\"http:\/\/michaeljkruger.com\/does-the-bible-ever-get-it-wrong-facing-scriptures-difficult-passages-1-greg-beale\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">response<\/span><\/a> was to Enns\u2019 interpretation of 1 Corinthians 10:4 about Paul\u2019s mention of the rock that accompanied the Israelites during the wilderness period.<\/li>\n<li>For anyone who participated, or plan to participate, in the ALS ice bucket challenge, I\u2019d recommend this <a href=\"http:\/\/erlc.com\/article\/the-faqs-the-als-ice-bucket-challenge\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">important FAQ<\/span><\/a> for you.<\/li>\n<li>The events at Ferguson have brought a flurry of responses from many. A sane and helpful perspective comes from former law enforcement officer, pastor, and police chaplain Tony Miano, with his provocative post, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.crossencounters.us\/2014\/08\/why-many-police-officers-wont-enter.html\" class=\"broken_link\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Why Many Police Officers Won\u2019t Enter the Doors of Your Church, Pastor.<\/span><\/a>\u201d At The Cripplegate, seeing riots from a biblical perspective brought back John MacArthur\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/thecripplegate.com\/riots-in-the-street-a-biblical-perspective\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">message from 20 years ago during the L.A. riots<\/span><\/a>. Much wisdom to glean here.<\/li>\n<li>Here\u2019s a telling insight in understanding God\u2019s sovereignty from the life of Job. Do we <a href=\"http:\/\/calvindude.org\/dude\/2014\/08\/26\/blaming-god-evil\/\">\u201c<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">blame God for evil?<\/span>\u201d<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Richard Dawkins tweeted that it would be immoral of one who, upon learning their child has Down\u2019s Syndrome, would not abort him or her, given the choice. Much (digital) ink has been spilt in response to Dawkins, but I thought Clinton Wilcox gave some good rebuttals to Dawkins, including Dawkins\u2019 follow up article. Here\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/lti-blog.blogspot.com\/2014\/08\/richard-dawkins-has-done-it-again.html\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">part 1<\/span><\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/lti-blog.blogspot.com\/2014\/08\/a-response-to-richard-dawkins-clinton.html\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">part 2<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Summer\u2019s almost over and schools are starting again.
