While I was driving through the night, Richard Cunningham was speaking to the students at New Word Alive. Thanks to the wonders of technology, I can listen to this, and so can you if you pop over to the NWA site and order CDs. I will share some short notes here. We are told by Paul to act in a certain way in view of God’s mercies. We are not to be those who conform and fit in. It’s not... Read more
I didn’t get a chance to capture people’s response to Hugh Palmers’ talk as I had to drive through the night to get home so I could go to work today. So when I was about half-way home, when I needed a break, I pulled into a service station and recorded this. It covers my reaction to Hugh’s talk, the week as a whole, and also explains a bit about just what a blog is for anyone who is new... Read more
My blogging buddy, Dave Bish, of The Bluefish Project yesterday hijacked my ipod recorder and turned the tables on me. He felt it was time somebody interviewed me. You can pop over to his site to listen. Read more

Phatfish have written a number of great Christian songs. These include There is a Day, Holy, and O God of Love. You can legally download music,... Read more
Earlier today I interviewed Hugh Palmer. Tonight, in typical wry self-depreciating humor, he began his talk by saying that we would be moving from the American passion we saw demonstrated last night, to the British understatement we could expect to experience now. He began by telling us that we don’t tell people the gospel for one of two reasons—either because we don’t believe the gospel or because we don’t love them. Hugh says he still struggles with evangelism and is... Read more

UPDATEThe full text of this interview can be read here. One of the busiest men on site is Hugh Palmer, who is the host this week and the chair of New Word Alive. I was able to grab him for just a few minutes walking from one part of the site to another. Hugh is the minister of All Souls Langham Place where John Stott was based. Hugh shares his vision for this conference, and speaks about what will happen... Read more
I will share slightly briefer notes than usual on this morning’s talk—my fingers are getting tired! Don Carson began his talk on 1 John 3 by making a claim that it is actually only because of the Bible that religion and morality were first strongly linked together. It is only because of Christianity that our culture believes that we should be consistent in our behavior. Sin is broad. Sin is not just lawlessness, it is also a lack of faith... Read more
