Yesterday, I gave an update on the large number of people who have joined the Partnering to Remember 2011 Philippians Memory Moleskine. With so many on board, I thought it would be great to connect with the two most popular social networks–Facebook and Twitter. So I have created individual accounts for P2R, and I encourage [...]

Memory Moleskine Now on Facebook and Twitter
December 30, 2010P2R: Philippians Memory Moleskine Update, Tips and Networking
December 29, 2010It was just nine days ago when I announced this little project called “Partnering to Remember.” I had received encouragements from people to put this together, but I had no idea the kind of response this would receive. Seriously, I am blown away. I have heard from people across the world (e.g., Costa Rica, Australia, [...]
Good News for Sinners on Christmas Eve

After two days, 3,000+ folks have check it out with 821 downloading the PDF for the Philippians moleskine (not counting those who have discovered it on The Resurgence). This is great news! Several have asked how I have set my P2R :: Philippians moleskine, so I [...]
Partnering to Remember: The 2011 Philippians Memory Moleskine
December 20, 2010In the summer of 2008, I came up with the crazy idea called a “memory moleskine.” The goal was to memorize the book of Ephesians before the end of the year. Since then, that Ephesian memory moleskine has resulted in 4,000+ people joining in. With a number of people desiring to do it again, I [...]
POTW :: Tim Keller Reader
December 19, 2010Last week, we had around 55 folks sign up for the Tim Keller Reading Group. This is a picture of my reader (roughly 250 pages) that I had bound at the local OfficeMax. Not bad for $5. I’ll be wearing this out over the next four months. If you’re interested and haven’t joined, go here [...]
Jeff Vanderstelt on Gospel Centrality
December 18, 2010Few evangelical leaders have done more to promote gospel centrality than Soma Communities, and in particular Jeff Vanderstelt and Caesar Kalinowski. If you are new to Soma, here’s a good place to start. You can also access a wealth of gospelicious audio (to borrow Scotty Smith’s term) from their archives (especially check out their stuff [...]
Word Lens Is a Game Changer
December 17, 2010The iPhone has empowered my life in a number of ways, not the least of which is an all-in-one gadget. It is my phone, alarm clock, GPS, calendar, iPod, camera, jump drive, dictaphone, web browser, reader, video camera, scanner, Bible, and a host of other things, many of which I used on a daily basis. [...]
Reclaiming Adoption Book Endorsement
December 15, 2010I have had the privilege of knowing Dan Cruver since the first Band of Bloggers in 2006. He has consistently championed the gospel and its implications in our lives, especially as it relates to adoption and orphan care. So when he asked me to read his forthcoming book and consider writing an endorsement, I was [...]
NEW Tim Keller Reading Group in 2011!
December 14, 2010This morning, I announced on PLNTD a training opportunity for missional leaders and church planters by reading through 20 of the most significant articles written by Tim Keller on church planting, gospel centrality, missional living, and cultural engagement. These 20 articles are compiled as a “reader” and will be covered over an 18 week period [...]
The Greatest Gift – The Incarnation
December 13, 2010O Source of all good, What shall I render to You for the gift of gifts, thine own dear Son, begotten, not created, my Redeemer, proxy, surety, substitute, his self-emptying incomprehensible, his infinity of love beyond the heart’s grasp. Herein is wonder of wonders: he came below to raise me above, was born like me [...]
Audio of Jamie Munson on Triperspectivalism
December 12, 2010Last month, I linked to a short video clip of Jamie Munson priming triperspectivalism prior to his speaking at the Stick Teams Conference. His conference audio is now available through the Resurgence website. If you’d like to download the audio, here you go: –> Jamie Munson Main Session –> Jamie Munson Q&A I will be [...]
Funnies for Friday
December 10, 2010Here are three videos that I enjoyed watching this week. The C.J. Mahaney impersonation is amazing. The Calvinist pick-up lines are cheesy yet fun. The Michael Bird interview is a great reminder that scholars can have a great sense of humor (HT Trevin Wax). Enjoy!
Church Planting Elitism
December 9, 2010Earlier this week, Ed Stetzer shared about new trends in church planting, most notably that local churches are becoming the engine for church planting. As someone who is (and will continue to) invest himself in helping churches plant churches, this is exciting to see. However, there is something that has been on my mind for [...]
Jerry Bridges on Gospel Centrality
December 7, 2010One of the most gospel-centered, gospel-saturated writers of the past decade has been Jerry Bridges. Recently, Desiring God interviewed Bridges (part 1 | part 2) and asked him several questions about the gospel. Check them out. How would you state the gospel in 30 seconds or less? What would you tell someone who feels too [...]
