Chapter 2 of Driscoll’s Porn-Again Christian book is online. Funny story about this one. When substitute teaching yesterday I tried linking to this but the school blocked it. Apparently the word “porn” in the URL doesn’t fair well against the school’s internet filter.

I’m really interested to find out the answer to this little riddle by Brian Thornton: My tee shot on hole number eleven of Little Ocmulgee Golf Course was an interesting one, to say the least. When I proceeded to hit the ball using my driver, the club made contact and the ball left the tee, but never came back down to land on the earth.

Good to see Dr. Mohler back to writing frequently. I share two posts from him today: The False Apology Syndrome and Spare the Rod?

We talked about this last night but John Piper obviously explains it better: The Godward Focus of Faithfulness.

A couple of months ago Dan Phillips wrote a really good 3 part piece on Transparency. Read part 1, 2, and 3.

Uh oh, I think the monkey’s are starting to catch up to us (Also, is anything funnier than a Japanese person with a British accent):

Politics really do not interest me. Our hope is in Jesus and not in politics. However, I did watch the debates last night and John McCain got smoked. Perhaps he could have won the debate in 1940 but not in 2008. Many in the blogosphere are telling us to get accustomed to saying President Obama. Bill from the Thinklings weighs in on the good and bad of an Obama presidency.

Dr. Mohler cites evolutionist Steve Jones as saying human evolution is over.

John Piper offers what seems to me as sound advice for talking with the depressed, doubting, skeptical, confused, and angry.

D.A. Carson recently gave a series of talks on suffering at Omaha Bible Church. Here is the audio. There is also a pastors sessions on preaching and biblical theology. (HT: Erik Raymond)

Here is an older article from Ligonier (actually written by Dr. Mohler) on Training Pastors in Church

This is why you should pray for this on the ministry. (Yes, that includes me)

I am substitute teaching right now…and the school will not allow youtube videos. So I’ll try to post a clip a little later.

Part 2 of Pulpit’s “Why Elder Rule” is now available.

I am absolutely astonished by the claims of Steve Lemke in his “What is a Baptist” article. (A good summary of those claims can be found here.) Both Timmy Brister and James Galyon interact on the issue of Total Depravity and Age of Accountability.

The Pyro blog is idle for a month. While they are dark for the month of October their archives are not. Dan Phillips suggest his Top 18 posts.

John Samson asks, Should we use Altar Calls in our Evangelism?

I really hope this is a joke…it’s either hilarius or really sad depending on its validity. Michael Patton displays pictures of church-sign war between Catholics and Presbyterians.

A great deal from Desiring God giving away cases of Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ for $1 each.

Since I took about a year off–I have some decent “older” articles to link to. I will feature a couple of these each day. I may have already linked to this one but New Attitude has a wonderful article on The Gospel and Ministry.

My wife and I went to see the movie Fireproof last night. It was phenomenal. The acting (except Kirk Cameron) was decent at best but the movie was wonderful. Here is a clip:
