Friday Links Roundup: Two Weeks Worth Edition

We missed last Friday with the links roundup. I was leading singing in Kentucky on Friday night, and we visited my family during the day, so I just didn’t get it done.

We are looking forward to being back up in Kentucky this next week for Thanksgiving. It is, by far, my favorite holiday, and I’m glad that my family gets along and has holidays together.

To make up for the “absent” week, here are a few articles for your weekend:

1. Dean Kelly, at Kelly’s Korner, posted an essay written by an English I student. The essay “From My Perspective” is excellent. Many of you will want to file this one away.

2. Wayne Jackson deals with a very timely topic on Christian Courier’s website. So many Christian young people go to institutions of higher learning where the professors do not believe in God, and they greatly challenge the faith of the young people. Jackson writes a personal story to help young people stay strong.

3. This is the shortest article we’re ever linked to on the Friday Links Roundup, but it is, well, it’s sad. Read Jeremiah Tatum’s “An ‘I Wish This Weren’t True’ Story.”

4. Phil Sanders gets very personal, but very practical, in his article “Name Calling.”

5. Respect is a trait that is quite lacking in our society. Justin Guin offers up a good question for each of us to answer honestly: “Do We Respect the Authority of God?”

6. Many congregations are getting behind the nation-wide evangelistic campaign America 2008. If you want to know more, please visit their website. This looks like a great idea, and we need to have it in our prayers often.

I hope everyone has a great weekend. If you are traveling next week for Thanksgiving, please be safe. Never forget the Lord, especially on Sunday!
