1. Very cool to see young pastors putting their ministry philosophy on paper - literally - for other young pastors to see. See the different incarnations of The Pulpit, The Table, and The Square: Joe Thorn, Steve McCoy, and Kevin Larson.

2. I found this very interesting. It comes via Alan Hirsch. It is a map from the World Values Survey that shows the levels of traditional and secular values in the major countries of the world. America isn’t as traditional as you might think. We better get ‘missional’ real quick…

3. Andy Farmer, pastor of discipleship and counseling at Covenant Fellowship Church, has put together a great document expressing important values to be affirmed by Christian artists. This would be a great framework for a covenant for a church’s worship ministry…

4. I’m a closet geek when it comes to the Internet, especially Web 2.0 stuff. I found this article intriguing regarding IP addresses - particularly the IPv4’s - and their “exhaustion.”

5. My love for the Christian year was peaked by this from T-Wax. I think you know what my answer would be…

6. Can a Christian sing the blues? I-Monk unpacks a very biblical concept that is resurfacing in the language of Christians.

7. This is almost three years old, but the Tall Skinny one linked to it recently and I thought it was an insightful blog entry on the debate about attractional/incarnational ministry.
