1. Thanks so much to all the bloggers out there who have linked to consumed<\/span>. I really appreciate it, and thanks to all who left very kind comments last week about my blog. I was very encouraged as I always am by the commenters on this blog.<\/p>\n

2. Here\u2019s what looks like a perceptive and beneficial lecture<\/a> on Islam and the claims of radical Islam. It was held at Capitol Hill Baptist last spring and has received very good feedback.<\/p>\n

3. A well-rounded and persuasive piece on limited atonement<\/a>, written by an SBTS student and friend named Bradley Cochrane. What\u2019s nice is that the post is readable and relatively brief, unlike some of the stuff you see out there on the subject. (HT: Said at Southern<\/a>)<\/p>\n

4. Griffin House makes good, soulful music<\/a>. I don\u2019t think you\u2019ve heard of him\u2013I certainly hadn\u2019t\u2013but my buddy Ben Peays hipped me to him. Check out this song for sure\u2013very melancholy and moving: \u201cTell Me a Lie.\u201d<\/a> Sort of country, folk, alt-rock. If you like the video snippet, buy the mp3. I can\u2019t stop listening to it.<\/p>\n

5. Excellent Collin Hansen piece on Barack Obama\u2019s abortion views<\/a>. Obama is the most pro-abortion candidate ever, according to some. Some may sneer at single-issue voting, but Christians should not, when that issue relates to the death of millions of babies. Hansen\u2019s a fellow TEDS student and a very good writer. More on his work in the future. (HT: Justin Taylor<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Have a great weekend. It\u2019s supposed to warm up here in Deerfield, which means that regular existence\u2013characterized by such activities as moving and breathing\u2013should resume soon.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
