1. Andy Naselli<\/a>, a friend from TEDS<\/a> and PhD student in New Testament (and D. A. Carson\u2019s research guy) blogs about the online history of Southern Seminary that I worked on a few years back<\/a>. I\u2019m linking to it here because Andy lays out the site\u2019s content in a really helpful way. If you\u2019ve never looked at the site<\/a>, I encourage you to\u2013a number of us worked hard on the site to make it excellent. The seminary archivist, Jason Fowler, a personal friend, did terrific work in pulling it together, writing some content, and finding great photos for the various content pages.<\/p>\n

2. This is a great article on how children\u2019s play has changed in the last few decades<\/a>. The aforementioned Andy Naselli passed it on to me by email. Pretty depressing. I\u2019m thankful that my parents strongly limited the amount of tv that my sister and I could watch. We were forced to use our imaginations, and we did. Some of my fondest memories from childhood are simple times in the backyard. How many kids\u2013and Christian kids, shockingly\u2013will never develop such memories?<\/p>\n

3. Great Collin Hansen piece on the new book by New Testament scholars D. A. Carson and Greg Beale on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament<\/a>. There is such confusion on this subject. I attempt on my own little corner to push for healthy, full-canon biblical exegesis, but I am just a little fish\u2013a minnow, perhaps. It\u2019s great to see a couple of sharks publish some meaty stuff on this important topic. Collin is also a TEDS student and is one of the best young writers around\u2013 make sure to get his new book when it comes out<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. Future historian of eminence Matthew Hall blogs thoughtfully as ever about new studies in Mormonism<\/a>. I\u2019ll have to think more about this before I comment, but it is interesting to observe the mainstreaming of Mormonism.<\/p>\n

5. Al Mohler on a recent report of America\u2019s most sinful cities<\/a>. His comments: \u201cIn reality, the whole world is a Genesis 3 world \u2014 a fallen world inhabited by sinners. Sin is a universal problem and every single human being is a sinner. Put sinful humanity in close quarters, and sin inevitably multiplies.\u201d So true. It\u2019s fun to think about the morality of towns versus cities. Maybe a post for another day.<\/p>\n

6. If you want to be edified and lifted up, you need to get this cd<\/a> and listen to the song \u201cOh Lord Your Love.\u201d It is stirring and inspiring, and it never fails to direct my thoughts to the hope and joy that I have in Jesus Christ because of His death and resurrection on behalf of his church. Great work by Caedmon\u2019s Call<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Have a great weekend, all.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
