Forgiving Former Atlanta Quarterback Michael Vick
Posted by: | CommentsJon Walker, who served under Rick Warren at Saddleback and Purpose Driven Ministries, has released a 23-page ebook on the subject of forgiveness and Michael Vick. Here’s some details from Jon’s site:
The e-booklet, Should We Forgive Michael Vick?, explores questions surrounding forgiveness: If Vick is forgiven, are we letting him get away with what he did? Does forgiveness mean we’re minimizing his behavior? Should we withhold forgiveness until Vick has paid for his crimes? Should forgiveness be withheld until he proves he should be forgiven?
Should We Forgive Michael Vick? is a 23-page downloadable booklet that explains the conditions necessary for forgiveness, based on a biblical perspective. The booklet is divided into eleven short chapters that can be used for personal study or adapted for a group discussion.
The ebook is only $2.95 … and you can also buy a license to make copies for a group study.
Take Intro to New Testament Survey with Dr. Craig Blomberg for Free
Posted by: | CommentsBiblical Training just announced that they have Dr. Craig Blomberg’s Introduction to New Testament (Gospels through Acts) online in MP3 format.
Dr. Blomberg is Distinguished Professor of New Testament at Denver Seminary.
Class registration is free as is the entire ministry, of which I’ve benefited from greatly. Obviously, they accept donations and gifts.
Mars Hill Pastor Mark Driscoll’s Church, Gospel and Culture Audio
Posted by: | CommentsOne of the best series of audio sermons/lectures I’ve heard on missional living is from Mars Hill Church’s Mark Driscoll called Church, Gospel and Culture from an Acts 29 Network boot camp.
Check out more Acts29 Boot Camp audio here … I’ve listened to probably over 15 hours of them in the past and they’re well worth the time.
Who and What Is the Emerging Church from a Seminary Professor
Posted by: | CommentsMy friend and seminary professor Dr. Mark DeVine has an excellent article which will soon be published in the Midwestern Journal of Theology on the emerging church.
Download the full article here (PDF).
See the post here.
From my conversations outside the seminary context, most people don’t have a clue about what or who the emerging church is. And often those who think they do, lump ALL “emerging” churches into one category … liberal. That’s not accurate. It’s a terrible generalization that throws out the good in the hard-to-define “movement.”
The Good Doc is seeking to help clarify all this in his article … and trust me, he’s a conversative, one of the funniest people I’ve ever met, and someone I’m fond of and help whenever I can (blogging).
(If you didn’t get this, I’ll say it in real simple terms so you don’t miss it: He’s love Jesus, affirms every jot and tittle of the Word, and does it all with a Southern drawwwwwwwwlllll.)
Rock on Doc!
Chapell’s Preaching Class Available for MP3 Download via Biblical Training
Posted by: | CommentsOne of the books I had to read for Preaching classes this semester was Dr. Bryan Chapell’s book Christ-Centered Preaching. Dr. Chapell as you know is president of Covenant Seminary in St. Louis.
Anyway, I was delighted to receive word that his Preaching class is available for FREE MP3 download at Biblical Training.
See also: Dr. Darrell Bock’s seminar on the Da Vinci Code. I also read Dr. Bock’s book Breaking the Da Vinci Code for a seminar I attended at Midwestern on the same subject.
