Hello. You made it to the weekend. Well done.
You should read these
- Last week I was at Newday in the UK with a small group of teenagers from Sweden (which explains the lack of posting, at least for that week). Here are two excellent reports from two different Andrews. First Wilson then Bunt.
- I’ve found Tim Challies reflections on the loss of his son both deeply moving and profoundly helpful. When God Took Away: His Goodness in My Grief
- Mark Rowland Hill with a wonderfully thoughtful piece: You Can’t Choose Your Influences: On the Unexpected Book That Made Me a Writer HT: Mark Meynell.
- I’ve heard this quite a bit, maybe even said it myself: Will Nonbelievers Really Believe Anything? The answer it turns out is both yes & no. And also Chesterton didn’t say it, well not quite.
- Jeremy Williams on What we learned by getting the train to Sweden
- The Guardian asks, Is your smartphone ruining your memory? And the answer is yes.

From the archives
Consumerism remains a deadly enemy to faith: “The greatest sign of our capitulation to the spirit of the age, of our defeat by the gods of this world, is Christmas. The single biggest consumeristic orgy mankind has ever known.”
Have a prayerful and peace filled weekend.
