Gospel Coalition

Last spring a group from our church traveled up to Trinity College outside of Chicago for the first Gospel Coalition conference. It was small, intentionally I think. But it was pretty incredible. D. A. Carson, Tim Keller, and others led some pretty thought provoking messages about how the gospel should impact our churches today, and where some of us may be getting off course.

Here is a link to some interviews from some of the leaders.

New Link: Outdoor Photos

I just added a new link to my list -- it is a site of random landscape photographs. If you are feeling stressed and want to "get away" for a minute, you might want to check it out. Enjoy!

Max Blumenthal

This was brilliant. I loved it...all the way to the interpretive dance at the end. I do not agree with Blumenthal's implied point -- that anyone who doesn't go to (or isn't willing to go to) war can't be a "supporter" of the war. But he does a great job highlighting how hypocritical many of the war-hawk's position is. He also does a good job highlighting how much this debate is rooted in class and economic privilege.

Enjoy the link:
