3Days Worth of Notable Links&Quotes from Around the Net

So I finally had the time to set up my RSS reader after months of lazi...eherm...busyness. Here are some notable posts that caught my eye from a collection of posts from the span of the past 3 days. 1. Rick Warren sending his Purpose Driven ministry to South East Asia, Philippines. “I… I’m uh… I’m uh… I need … I’m gonna need help to know why I should feel bad about this decision.”- John Piper defending ...

“Gospel-Centrality”, a Mere Buzz Word?

Dawned upon a tweet by WhiteHorseInn. It had a link. Clicked the link. Read the short article. And now I share. I think we should take heed to the discerning thoughts of the writer.

A Half-hearted, Listless, Dead-and-Alive Way

Just read last Sunday's "Weekly Dose of Spurgeon" at the TeamPyro blog. I believe we can take it as a very sound reminder for our own souls in the issue of being neither cold nor hot in our service to Christ. This section of the quote impressed to me the most: In such communities everything is done in a half-hearted, listless, dead-and-alive way, as if it did not matter much whether it was done or not. ...

Microblogging at NewDemonstration

I finally setup N.D. to be able to support "micro-blogging"! I'm hoping to use this new feature to be able to post links and choice resources, articles for all the readers here. Also, I'll also use this for the more random posts. You can check out how it looks like over at the front page!:) (Though the single view looks like any other post still.)
