Raised For Our Justification – Living in Light of the Resurrection 3. Raised For Our Salvation – Living in Light... Read more
No, I am not back from my blogging semi-retirement! This blog is still on automatic pilot and is on a STRICT rev-limiter. Until such time as the complete draft of my book is in the hands of my publisher (which should be in 1 months time), I will not be posting more than Monday-Wednesday-Friday. Please pray for me as there is still much to accomplish although I do have a complete draft and am currently honing it in my spare... Read more
VIDEO: Tim Keller – Cultural Transformation from Newfrontiers on Vimeo. In his final session with Newfrontiers Keller highlighted that we find relating to the culture to be an increasing problem in the West. We now have a post-Christian culture. The Anglo-saxons struggled with Christianity because it believed in forgiveness and compassion for the weak. They felt that culture couldn’t survive without respect and fear. Northern European paganism was bloodthirsty and power hungry. Christianity changed the attitudes to the poor and... Read more
VIDEO now available here: Tim Keller – The City from Newfrontiers on Vimeo. During Tim Keller’s second session with Newfrontiers he spoke on the importance of cities. Cities are strategic and have lots of people yet they are poorly served by the Church. Disporportionately important and disproportionately underepresented in terms of ministry. This is not to say that every Christian should move to the city, but that movements like Newfrontiers as a people should begin to focus on the cities... Read more
Video of this talk is now available to watch here: Tim Keller – Preaching the Gospel from Newfrontiers on Vimeo. Earlier in the week, Tim Keller spoke at a Newfrontiers event. He gave three posts, and I was there taking notes. There were over 800 people there to hear him. As usual these notes are colored a bit by my own perceptions, and so do not necessarily reflect exactly what he said. This talk was very inspiring. Regular readers of... Read more
One of the tragedies of the modern church is that we just don’t seem to understand a lesson the Moses learnt from his father-in-law. Sadly we fail to realise that not every godly Christian leader should aspire to be the so-called “number one” leader of a church. Many churches are started and do not grow because the person at the helm was never meant to be in such a role. Perhaps in some cases that leader could be helped to... Read more
Sorry I have had such a hectic time since the Tim Keller talks (I had to preach myself that evening and today has just disappeared!) I got this on email today though that should keep you occupied whilst you wait for some notes of what were some GREAT talks: Because he is no longer able to travel far from his home in the Upstate of South Carolina Dr. Adams has been able to turn his attention to writing a blog....

Good sermons on discipleship are few and far between. Last Sunday David Pask, who is an elder at Jubilee Church, London preached this outstanding introduction based on 1 Corinthians 4:14-16. You can download the sermon Imitate Me as an mp3 or you can watch it online here: Read more
“Repent and turn from all your transgressions, lest iniquity be your ruin. Cast away from you all the transgressions that you have committed, and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! Why will you die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Lord God; so turn, and live.” Ezekial 19:30-32 In the above verse we see a classic example of God commanding us to do something we simply cannot....
