Finally, a Speedlink Friday. Here’s to hoping the next few go down easier than the last ones!

• Awesome Purpose recently celebrated its 1 year anniversary. Go Justin!
• Cool quote by Watchman Nee
• Funny comments on “Churchianity” and a hilarious spoof of Blockbuster Video.
• For those of you who know about pop-sci religion-basher Sam Harris, author of several books blasting those who believe in God or a supernatural reality, this essay will shed some light on the fallacy of his views. In fact, check out the rest of that blog for some excellent critiquing of Harris’ extreme form of atheism.
• Will Preaching the Gospel Empty Your Church? No, of course not. If your church is emptying out, maybe it’s not the Gospel. Maybe it’s you. (Harsh, I know.)
• Make us Dangerous. Looking forward to Mark’s upcoming book Wild Goose Chase!
• Great and funny (as always) review by O’Leary of Expelled. She’s Canadian, so her perspective is always interesting to an “Amuricun” like me.
• Ever wanted to get into the mind of a pastor? Perry Noble unloads his brain on a Sunday night here. Interesting stuff.
• Isn’t it amazing how “nature” “designs” such advanced machinery that rivals or vastly supersedes the most complex and innovative human creations?
• Sad but true.
• Good ideas for freelancers to avoid dangerous pitfalls. I’m particularly bad at #4 — my philosophy is why do today what you can put off ’til tomorrow? (Hat tip: openswitch)
