I have a few posts brewing in my head, but brain fog (mild bug? not enough sleep?) is not conducive to writing. I'm also trying to get my blog bearings this year, so when in doubt, link!
Staci gives some good advice about recommending books. Also, there are a whole slew of posts at Out of the Ordinary this month on reading, so check them out.
What to remember when you change your mind about a book from Aaron Armstrong. Maybe you haven't, but I've changed my opinion about books I once recommended.
It's been interesting to watch the debate over antinomianism in the reformed camp. Sometimes it reminds me of these lyrics from Shai Linne's song Cosmic Powers:
I don't think this debate is going away any time soon, but I hope it will drive us to examine the word rather than responding to this side or that side based on emotion and experience. HSAT, Mike Leake has written a series of posts on this subject that are worth reading.
How a Helpful Illustration Turned Deadly
How to Play a Gospel Djembe

He’s [the devil] always standing on one side, ready to swing the pendulum

One generation, he’ll tempt them to be legalists
The next generation, he’ll tempt them to be hedonists
