Daily Links 9-11-13

Reflections on 9/11, more on Vin Scully, a new way to protect your family from pornography and more in today's roundup of links.

Where I was on 9/11. I wrote this originally on the five year anniversary.

Vin Scully is truly the heart of Los Angeles.

If the router sold by Pandora's Hope really delivers on its promise to filter out internet pornography it could be a good option for protecting your family. A review is here.

Making an argument for shorter sermons. I'm not sure I'm in total agreement here. It seems to me the more important question is the content of the sermon rather than the length.

***********************

How to criticize a preacher. Yes, there is a time and place where you may need to confront your pastor over something he said from the pulpit. These are good questions to ponder before having that conversation.

***********************

How important is the style of music a church sings? Actually, the article's first point is the more important consideration:


Most important are the truth of the words being sung. Since a church sings music in order to worship God, our songs should function like a musical confession of faith. Those confessions of faith should contain substantial truth about God, or else we’ll hardly be worshiping at all.
