1. Karis Community Church recently hosted New Testament scholar Tom Schreiner for a series of lectures on Jesus. Check out this link to listen to the talks<\/a>. They sound quite interesting and personally profitable. Dr. Schreiner is a man of great gifting and great humility. It\u2019s rare to find those qualities mutually existing in one person, but they do in him.<\/p>\n

2. Newsweek Magazine recently profiled Manhattan pastor and church planting guru Tim Keller. Go here to read the article<\/a>. The author gets a number of things wrong, but it\u2019s interesting that this piece represents a pretty respectful portrayal of an evangelical. Keller\u2019s thoughtfulness and humility have sowed good seed in New York.<\/p>\n

3. Criswell College radio host Jerry Johnson recently discussed my friend Greg Gilbert\u2019s recent 9Marks blog\/manifesto on an overemphasis on good music in the current among many evangelicals. Here\u2019s the link<\/a>. I would have liked to hear Greg say a few more words about the importance of evangelical pursuit of good music, but I think he makes some very good points in his original post on the 9Marks blog<\/a>. It\u2019s important in correcting things, though, that we take care not to over-correct. Greg wouldn\u2019t want to do that, and neither would I.<\/p>\n

4. Speaking of good music, here\u2019s a great track by one of my favorite bands, Postal Service<\/a>, called \u201cClark Gable.\u201d It\u2019s a beautiful mix of male and female voices, and it has a melancholy feel that is accentuated by the driving beat. Good tune.<\/p>\n

Have a very nice weekend, all.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
