New blog on the Old Testament
The chaps over at the Gospel Coalition have launched a new blog called Preaching Christ in the Old Testament. "Whether you preach regularly, lead a small group, or simply want to learn more about the Bible, you’ll find resources here that will unveil the beauty of this story [the OT]." Definitely one to add to the list of "check regularly".

Rapping the catechism
A bit old now (as we measure time on the interweb), but Curt "Voice" Allen wins his bet with Kevin DeYoung that he couldn't rap on DeYoung's book about the Heidelburg Catechism. Even if you're not into rap (or catechisms!), give this a listen. Lyrics here.
