Friday Fragments 10/17/2014

For your reading pleasure:

• Some good reasons to study doctrine. "You cannot know God and be arrogant."
• My take on a good book about seeing Jesus in the OT.
• Tim Challies is doing a series of posts on productivity. Helpful stuff. (The links that begin with "How To Get Things Done" are part of this series. Other links on this page are previous posts he's done related to the subject, but not part of the series.)
• Kindle Deals - We've been studying the subject of elders and deacons at GBC; here's a helpful little book on the topic: Finding Faithful Elders and Deacons by Thabiti Anyabwile, $.99 on Kindle. You can get When Sinners Say "I Do" for $1.99; this book is required reading if you do pre-marriage counseling with me. (It will help you if you're already married too!)

We're so arrogant to think we can judge the motives of others' hearts when we can't even fully understand our own motives at times.
