\n\"JeffMont.jpg\"<\/span>Trends among young evangelicals<\/a> (HT: GO).
Trends among evangelicals<\/a> (Barna\u2019s newest report).
Trends among Americans and Christianity<\/a>.
Trends in internet thinking about universalism<\/a>.
Trends in tweeting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Motives matter<\/a>.
Weeds matter<\/a>.
Marko matters<\/a>!<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know what the 10 most influential ideas are today, but Time<\/i>\u2018s suggestion that new Calvinism is one of them describes what I\u2019ve observed in the last decade. (See Eugene<\/a>\u2018s post and the comments.)<\/p>\n

\"BG.jpg\"<\/span>
One thing I\u2019d emphasize with Dan Reid\u2019s wisdom on Festschriften<\/a> is that they are too expensive. Let academic publishers do them. iMonk on the coming evangelical collapse<\/a>. Simple vs. oversimple<\/a>. Brett\u2019s tribute<\/a> to Tom Wright.<\/p>\n

Where have all the laments gone? Part one<\/a> and two<\/a>.
Where have all the books gone<\/a>?
Where has David Bosch<\/a> gone? (He\u2019s alive and well in RSA.)
Where has community<\/a> gone?<\/p>\n

Is Teavana<\/a> the tea-drinker\u2019s counterpart to AeroPress?<\/p>\n

\"Keillor.jpg\"<\/span>1. Brooks and the Obamatons<\/a>: this piece strikes me as fair and reasonable.
2. Krauthammer<\/a> sees things differently (when compared with Brooks).
3. Paul Harvey and Doug Gamble<\/a>.
4. When mindfulness<\/a> becomes \u201cin absentia.\u201d
5. Discovery of a Byzantine monastery<\/a> in the Holy Land.
6. Garrison Keillor <\/a>hiccups his way through some satire about disabilities.
7. Your kids and sleep<\/a>.
8. Peter Singer <\/a>, not one of my favorites, on poverty and the good life.
9. \u201cIt\u2019s the ultimate taunt<\/a>; it is as if they are saying: You want to know why? You\u2019ll never know.\u201d
10.<\/p>\n

Sports:<\/p>\n

My brother-in-law, Pete Norman, takes his JUCO basketball team back to Hutch<\/a>, the site of the National JUCO basketball tournament, for the fifth time in six years. That spells dynasty. Way to go Pete.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
