So you may have seen links on some other blogs to this video about a lady dying from cancer named Rachel Barkey. You may have clicked on the link, then seen how long the video was and moved on... Let me strongly encourage you to sit down some evening this week and take the hour to watch the whole thing. You cannot watch Rachel's talk and remain unaffected. She is a beautiful personification of Job 13:15, "Though he slay me, I will hope in him." Taylor and I just finished watching the video and I am praising God for the courageous, Christ-exalting witness of Rachel Barkey.

MP3 Sermons vs. Your Pastor's Sermons
Began thinking some about this dilemma after listening to a message on counseling at the Sovereign Grace Pastor's conference. In that message the speaker admonished us to encourage people we are counseling to make the sermons in their local church a higher priority than those of "super-star" preachers. This focus is supported by the truth that God is sovereignly speaking through your pastor to you in ways that miscellaneous preachers aren't. Forget people I'm counseling - that was convicting to me!

1 Peter 3 Beauty
Hoping that my Tabitha will resemble this young lady when she's thirteen... I love how she displays an intelligent confidence in the truth of God's word combined with a humble, gentle spirit. It made me think of 1 Peter 3:3-4:
Do not let your adorning be external--the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear--but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.

The New Calvinism in TIME
A recent edition of TIME Magazine featured "10 Ideas Changing the World". Number three on their list was The New Calvinism. Very interesting that they picked this to be on their list. You can read the article here.
I also found that Thabiti Anyabwile offered some wise cautionary advice concerning this article. Why the Time Magazine Trumpeting of New Calvinism Is a Bad Thing
