Daily Roundup for January 16, 2018

Here are the items and resources of interest for January 16, 2018:

Theology/Christianity:

• A Catechism on the Heart — This is excellent.  Written by Sinclair Ferguson. 
• The subject of church discipline is one that I have found, in my short experience as a pastor, is woefully misunderstood. Mark Dever writes on the subject.  Do you agree with him or disagree?  Perhaps a discussion on the merits of this article is in order. 
• I struggle with sleep.  As a pastor circumstances and issues related to my charge sometimes keep me awake. Sometimes it is due to my health issues. Whatever the reason, it is a fact that sleep is very needful. Brian Croft writes on this subject.
•  Four Reasons God is Not Answering Your Prayers — There are some weaknesses to this article, but overall it is good. Written by David Qaoud.

Technology:

• It snowed in the Sahara desert, and CNET has some images courtesy of NASA. 
• A washing machine that does not rely on water.
• Cable-free TV is everywhere now. Sling, Hulu, Sony, and now YouTube. Time to cut the cable?
