This are some important/informative posts/stories that you need to know about:

• My friend and fellow-blogger Ray Van Neste responds to this article by Steve Sjogren at Baptist Press and Tennessee’s Baptist and Reflector (But I don’t know whose picture that is on the Baptist Press site.). Thanks Ray for your righteous indignation at this all too common practice!
• Christianity Today has finally posted their much discussed (on the blogosphere anyway) article on the resurgence of Calvinism. It is titled “Young, Restless, Reformed.” This excellent article begins with an account of a twenty-one year old female’s first encounter with John Piper’s preaching (He “scared” her.). HT: JT
• Dr. Michael Haykin gives some suggestions on “A ONE-VOLUME HISTORY OF THE CHURCH.” (He’s the one yelling it, but it’s ok because he gets excited about church history.) An addendum to the above post is here.
• Tim Challies on “Planned Neglect.” Good thoughts!
• D.J. Cimino on “Qualifications for Bloggers.”
