Random Thoughts

It’s been a while since I’ve had random thoughts – they’ve all been focused on the baby! Seriously, though, here are something things that have caught my interest in the blogosphere lately:

The Problem with Mere Christianity
No, it’s not a critique of C. S. Lewis… It’s an article at Christianity Today by J. Todd Billings: “So-called divisive doctrines get pushed to the side as nonessentials, even when they are truly important.”

Horatius Bonar on Error
Speaking of what is truly important, OldTruth.com provides some 19th century advice for a problem that continues today – speaking truth without fear (albeit gracefully, of course).

New Blog from Piper and Co.
There is a brand new Desiring God blog that has been added to my daily reading. Currently, they’re covering the DG Pastor’s Conference. Good stuff from all involved, especially the always insightful R. C. Sproul.

Screwtape Movie
A lot of folks are blogging the news that Hollywood is making a movie out of Lewis’ Screwtape Letters, so I might as well jump on that bandwagon, too…

Christian Mysticism
Irish Calvinist blogs on his own personal experience as an “evangelical mystic” and the problems that lie therein. (With some bonus insight from Edwards…)

Al Mohler, Renaissance Man
And lastly, Centurion links to a video of Al Mohler that, well, if you are at all familiar with Mohler, is absolutely hysterical.
