I’m glad Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Convention, has a blog. And he doesn’t shy away from controversy, posting the transcript from his remarks at Justice Sunday on the front page of his site. Good for him.

Great Ryan Dobson “Undone” Podcast featuring Mike DeVries. Grab the MP3 or the podcast feed. It contains my favorite podcasted quote, and maybe my favorite quote of all time:

The Bible gives exhaustive (and sometimes exhausting) attention to the organization of religion: the building and rebuilding of the Temple; its furnishings; the orders, duties, and paraphernalia of the priesthood; the orders of rituals and ceremonies. But that does not disguise the fact that the most significant religious events recounted in the Bible do […]
