Friday Links Roundup: Enlighten Edition

We are in the middle of our whirlwind tour through America’s heartland. We finished the youth day at Central in Paducah, Kentucky, and the Gospel Meeting in Vienna, Illinois. This afternoon, we will head to Henderson, Kentucky, for their annual youth rally, “Enlighten.” It will be an honor to lead singing for the rally tonight and tomorrow.

After that? Back to Nashville! We’ve loved spending time with family and seeing some old friends, but we are ready to get back to our house, and back to our church family at Lebanon Road.

Here are the links for this week:

1. Kevin Beard gives us a very well-thought-out article dealing with the annual “Day of Silence.”

2. More on the Great Commission from JD: “What Does Jesus Want Us to Do?“

3. Want speedy worship? A congregation is now offering a guaranteed 30-minute service. Trey Morgan reflects on this (the comments are worth reading, too).

4. Bible students are always looking for a good computer program to aid in study. Fostertribe has written a fairly lengthy review of several popular titles. Here is the list of links to each article.

5. You know the people. They are always looking for a way around God’s Word. Steve Sanders shows us some of their common statements.

6. Need a sermon outline for a graduation lesson? Jeremiah Tatum presents a great article for us entitled “Your Mark.”

I hope you have a great weekend. If you’re near Henderson, Kentucky, come to Enlighten. It’s going to be great, with Joe Wells speaking.

Also, don’t forget the Lord on His day.
