doubt that a single song can make a difference. It is a reality," Young
told reporters.
Second, Justin Taylor brings us this very timely quote from Carl Trueman (which Justin got from Tony Reinke):
“A world, and a church, which is hooked on novelty like some
cultural equivalent of crack cocaine needs the cold, cynical eye of the

mistake, when it comes to my approach to trendy evangelical claims to
epoch-making insights, beneath the cold, cynical exterior of this
particular historian beats a heart of stone.”
