Reading too much and too little

Douglas Groothius suggests that we read too much and not enough in this country. His point is an excellent one: we often choose to feast on marshmallows and disdain broccoli.

I’ve been seeking out some vegetables lately and want to share a few articles that I’ve found. Like a good eating plan, however, you won’t find yourself hungry again at 10 am. These will challenge your mind and fill your soul:

Ben Witherington, considered one of the top evangelical biblical scholars in the country, examines a news report about God getting sued. His style is approachable and insightful.

Sarah Scott exposes biases she experiences as a student at Colorado State University while a follower of Jesus.

At Conservative Reformed Media, a group of bloggers revel in their name – a label thrown at them by some more liberal groups. They tag-team when writing topics, and this recent one about analogies and eastern religions is interesting.

Scott McKnight is featuring a series on Colossians at his Jesus Creed site.

Try some vegetables today!

I loved reading Ben Witherington. I have had those same thoughts, and always love the confirmation. We do have a free will, and the choice is virtually ours..and it did all start in the fall of man, we live in a cursed world...if everything were perfect we would be in Heaven. :) Thanks for posting this..

BTW-love John Piper too! My Pastor is Dr. Randal Pelton, He went to the same Theological seminary as Piper...also very insigthful
