Three for Thursday – some good links…

by

Here’s some great things I’ve seen online the past week or so:

Tony Kummer had a post called God Is In the Church Nursery (if you don’t follow Tony’s work on the website Ministry to Children, you must).  This post helps show how even nursery workers have a big part to play in this adventure called God’s kingdom.

My college friend Brad Andrews had a guest post on Z, reposted by JT, on Four Kinds of People, using an amazing paradigm from Keller’s Galatians Study.  Here’s the chart:

LAW Relying Not relying
Obeying 1) Law-obeying,

law-relying
 4) Law-obeying,

not law-relying
Disobeying 2) Law disobeying,

law-relying
 3) Law disobeying,

not law-relying

Check out the original post for more explanation.


Finally, The Resurgence came out with a new wallpaper based on Romans 5:8.  

Keller on the Gospel & Its Forms

by

Tim Keller recently wrote an article entitled The Gospel In All Its Forms. I found this article helpful as I try to weave the Gospel into conversations and sermons each week. I do tend to leave out some elements at times and feel almost guilty. Keller’s article provides some good help in thinking through these things and gives some historical background on some current charges leveled at the Gospel.

Resources recommended at TGC

by

At the Gospel Coalition conference last week, there were allusions made to the following 2 resources available on the web.

Tim Keller’s message pointed to a sermon by David Clarkson entitled Soul Idolatry Excludes Men Out of Heaven.

Similarly, Ligon Duncan alluded to a message by Spurgeon entitled Paul – His Cloak and Books (from 2 Timothy 4:13). Lig assumed that most of us were familiar with this, but we weren’t. However, we can make ourselves familiar with it now.
