This is the inaugural post of a new concept here at Pursuing the Fruit entitled "Fresh Picked Daily". As I am somewhat new to the
blogosphere and certainly post significantly less than my cohorts, I am hoping this will be an easy and efficient way of using this blog to promote other blogs and report current events that catch my attention. My hope is that it gets me motivated to update this site on a regular basis.
This idea is not original, in fact, those that are veterans to this medium implement the same kind of concept... this is one reason I decided to produce "Fresh Picked". The other reason is practicality... I am constantly on the lookout for products, news and resources that are consistent with the reformed evangelical worldview (and I often have dozens of tabs open in my
Internet browser that eventually get deleted since I am obsessive compulsive about organizing bookmarks); this is an effective way of consolidating my findings.
So without further adieu, I present to you... The Fresh Picked Daily:
Lectio Continua Expository Commentary: Kim
Riddlebarger (The
Riddleblog) has posted the lineup for a New Testament Commentary series set to be released in 2012. I'm excited about this because some of my favorite pastor-theologians will be providing pulpit-experience to their respective editions.
Daniel R. Hyde (Matthew),
Iain D. Campbell (Luke),
J.V. Fesko (Romans),
Sinclair Ferguson (
Colossians),
Hywel R. Jones (1-3 John),
Kim Riddlebarger (Jude-2 Peter) and
Joel R. Beeke (Revelation) are amongst the contributors.

Bavinck and Ridderbos;

Top Commentaries:
Keith Mathison has compiled a list of his top 5 commentaries for each book of the Bible.
Tim Challies has provided that list for us over at
Ligonier. If you are thinking about buying a commentary to fortify your study of Scripture, consult this list prayerfully before you purchase one.
The Gospel Coalition: Since there are a few things I would like to highlight from
TCG, I thought I would have a general category. First off, the latest issue of
Themelios has arrived (you can find back-issues
here). Also, all of the audio and video is now available from
The Gospel Coalition's 2011 National Conference. Make sure you check out
The Gospel Coalition Albuquerque (audio is available for their
2011 Gospel Coalition Regional Conference (Clarus) featuring
G.K. Beale and
Carl Trueman) and
The Greater Columbus Gospel Coalition (who will be having
Paul David Tripp as the plenary speaker in their
2011 For the Sake of the Gospel Conference in November).
Founders Breakfast: On June 14, 2011,
Wayne Grudem will be addressing themes from his book
"Politics According to the Bible" at the Founders Breakfast in Phoenix, AZ. Tickets for "You, Your Church and Your Government" are $20 and the registration deadline is June 6.
Founders is a ministry of
Tom Ascol, pastor of Grace Baptist Church in Cape Coral, FL (
Founders Blog).
