Illumining the Four Gospels

November 17, 2010

I find this simply fascinating.  And I find this really encouraging that Crossway would take up such a cool project.  Makoto Fujimura has illuminated The Four Holy Gospels, being the first person in the 400 year history of the King James Bible to have an illumined book of the four Gospels.  Fujimura is known for [...]

1.  I really like affordable conferences. 2. I really like conferences focused on the gospel. 3. I really like conferences in South Florida. Is it possible to get 3 for 3?  The answer is yes! Check it out. The Gospel Centered Life Conference will be taking place on January 21-23, 2011 at Coral Ridge Presbyterian [...]

Monday is for “kingly” administration: Disciple-Making Venues

November 15, 2010

Last week, I talked about disciple-making structures, emphasizing church gathered (attractional), church scattered (missional), and leadership development (training).  This week I want to take a little different angle at disciple-making at discuss the three venues, namely large gathering (macro), small gathering (micro), and one-to-one (organic).  A church with a healthy emphasis on disciple-making will leverage [...]

Gospeling by Trip Lee

November 15, 2010

In a day when the gospel is largely assumed and truncated, it is refreshing to hear a clear and accurate gospel presentation.  Below is a ten minute video of Trip Lee gospeling the crowd at the Unashamed Tour in Chicago, IL.  May God raise up a generation passionately fluent in the Gospel!

Jamie Munson Primes Triperspectivalism

November 11, 2010

One of the most frequented “back pages” of my blog is my compilation on Triperspectival Leadership.  I was first introduced to multiperspectivalism back in early 2008, and since then, I have employed this paradigm of thinking in preaching, leadership structures, and discipleship process.  In the video below, Jamie Munson of Mars Hill Church (Seattle, WA) [...]

The Gospel Community Conference Audio

November 10, 2010

Back in September, The Gospel Community Conference was held in my old neck of the woods (Huntsville, AL).  What is the goal of this conference?  They state: It is our desire to retake the South through the biblical idea of missional community, the idea that life does not just include some missional activities, our life [...]

Lead 10 Audio

November 9, 2010

Lead 10 is a conference recently held in Auburn, Maine hosted by my friend Josh Cousineau.  This is the second year, and the main speakers were Bob Thune (author of The Gospel Centered Life) and Bill Streger. Jared Wilson also shared about gospel wakefulness in breakout sessions.  What I love about this conference is that [...]

Monday is for “kingly” administration: Discipleship Structures

November 8, 2010

It’s been a little while since my last post on “kingly” administration, but I thought I’d pick things back up again (after the prodding of several friends).  The big picture of these systems has been along the lines of what I call the “commission continuum”.  This is the “metaprocess” in the life of a “great [...]

You Need the Gospel Every Day

John Piper on the centrality (and necessity) of the gospel. This is SO good.

The Most Amazing Medium of Communication

November 5, 2010

The age of telecommunication has taken some amazing strides in my generation.  I remember growing up with the 50-foot telephone cord in the kitchen that could stretch to every corner of the house.  Then came the answering machine and “cordless” phone.  It was always fun to see how far in your front yard that you [...]

AND

November 5, 2010

A book that I have recently started reading is AND: The Gathered and Scattered Church by Hugh Halter and Matt Smay.  Yesterday and today, the AND Conference is taking place, presumably focusing on the blending and balancing of the missional and attractional approaches to church life.  Below are videos played at the beginning of the [...]
