Some bits and pieces to keep you busy...

Interesting: What rights have we lost as citizens? Are our civil liberties being eroded? Secondly, history is completed, in the past, unchangeable fact and is therefore objective isn't it? It could be, depending on how you look at it.

Apocalyptic: A workshop on how to go about tackling the apocalyptic genre. Six lectures, a handy booklet and three expositions demonstrating the approaches. Also, a simple reminder about purpose of Revelation to help keep focus when reading it.

Time Management: An interesting and immensely practical set of articles by C.J Mahaney. Plus Jonathan Edwards on the preciousness of time, in true puritan style.

People think I have a big family and I only have three syblings.

I know a family of 10 and I think they have a big family.

The Duggars, however, have just redefined my view of big. 18 kids! A miniature empire. Plus, all of their names being with J. Does that not get confusing: "Hey everyone, there's some post here for 'J. Duggar'"?

Here is a random picking of sermons on a range of subjects. These have all blessed me in different ways.

Equal Essence, Distinct Function Bruce Ware (via New Attitude)
All about the doctrine of the Trinity. Solid yet easy to follow. You may have to listen to it a few times to let it sink in.

Marriage and Men Mark Driscoll (via Mars Hill)
If you're a guy, listen to this. It's time to man up!

A Biblical Understanding of Sleep C.J. Mahaney (via Sovereign Grace Ministries)
The average person spend 1/3 of their life asleep. For some of us it's a little more ;). Either way, sanctified sleep sounds pretty good!

If My Words Abide in You John Piper (via Desiring God)
Reignite your awe of God's Word. Delivered with genuine Piper Passion.

Yahweh Calls Young People Kempton Turner (via Bethlehem Baptist)
Is God calling you? Yes! Can you hear him? Are you obeying him?

Wordle. It's awesome. Here's the entire Bible (ESV)

You can really see the shift of focus between the Old Testament ...

... and the New Testament

It's also really interesting on smaller chunks. Here's the gospels

And Psalms 118 and 119

They revolutionised the music industry with the iPod, they're beginning to edge into the world of communication with the iPhone and now they're about to push laptops beyond your wildest dreams. It's the all-new MacBook Wheel!
