The weather here in middle Tennessee is downright bipolar. Cold one day, warm the next. It's 70 degrees out there right now. S'posed to get back down to thirty something with possible snow tomorrow. Maybe Mother Nature is going through menopause.
While you wait out the heat and/or blizzard, here are some quality links to get your week started off right . . .

On the other hand, I think there is a line between authenticity and immodesty (or whining) and many, many "authentic" Christians cross it.
Abraham Piper shares his notes from Matt Chandler's session on Preaching into Evangelicalism at the Resurgence Conference. Great, great stuff. Will excerpt something in a separate post soon.

The 9 Marks guys at Church Matters have been discussing social justice lately.
The Gospel and the Gay Guy in the Basement
