Just Some Links

I’m making cracking pace on my 4th year project at the moment. I’ll share some stuff in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, Luke has begun sharing some thoughts from his project, which is an analysis of Tim Keller’s preaching. Sounds fascinating. Head of Theology at Moore College, Mark Thompson, also recently blogged about Keller on preaching.
Does anyone know where I can do a Myers-Briggs test (a proper one)?
Soph discusses the financial costs of raising children.
A Christian visits a creation museum with a group of atheists, and is disgusted by how the atheists are treated. Another demonstration of why I’m glad I’m not American (but thankful for the massive positive contributions the US has made to the world).
I’ve subscribed to a new blog by Adam Ferrier, Consumer Psychologist, which is kind of a meatier version of The Gruen Transfer without the crass humour. His undercover on the WANT LONGER LASTING SEX people is funny and desperately tragic at the same time. Just like this mock ad he posted previously.
And finally, the hilarious and irreverent Michael Bird gives us the best arguments for why Romans 7 is not about Christian experience. That’s the passage that goes, “I do not do what I want to do, and what I do not want to do, I do.” Not about Paul as a Christian he reckons (as do most scholars), and here’s why.
H/t to all those people who linked to these things who I can’t remember, and hello to CraigS’s link feed readership, who I love and address infrequently.
Nice links sir.
Thankyou.
Most of my readers also come via Craig’s blog as well!
Lol… found your blog via a search for info about Jay Smith, the anti-Muslim apologetics guy. I was just looking around to see a little more about what you write and I do appreciate how you think. This post made me laugh with the comment about the creation museum. I was taken there over Christmas by my conservative in-laws and was slightly mortified by the mentality it perpetuated. I absolutely think that you are right to be glad at times that you don’t live in the US.
Thanks for the comment, Kacie.
