Heretic Hunter

It starts off kind of slow but gets pretty funny towards the end.

Way of the Master Radio

This guy bashes Bell, Mclaren and the Emergent Church while playing games like short sarcasm, long sarcasm and breaking down a Nooma video. If Joe had a radio show, it would sound a lot like this.

baptists

what do you think of this video. i tend to agree with Driscoll. in fact, when I was asked by a Missouri Synod Lutheran couple who are now attending my church and are thinking of becoming members "what makes baptists different?"...the only thing I talked to them regarding distinctions was baptism.

I'm in..which means Russ has to go so that I have someone to share a bed with. And if Russ is in, then Sathish is going. And if Sathish is going and Russ is going and I'm going, then Matt is going. (Sorry nate, we'll send you the notes...)

New GROWTH Model

At the end of the "Knowing God Personally" booklet, there's an acronym for deepening your walk. It's called the GROWTH model. Now it's not that it's bad, it's just that late one night last week a better one was conceived. I present to all who dare come to this blog what Campus Crusade for Christ should use as their new GROWTH model at the end of the KGP.

G - Go read your Bible
R - Read your Bible
O - Open your Bible and read it
W - When you read your Bible you will grow closer to God
T - The Bible: read it!
H - Help others read the Bible.

These 6 easy steps are guaranteed to bring one closer to the majestic Lord our God and conform us to the image of Christ (that is if God permits - Hebrews 6:1-3).

Just Love People

So we've all heard the old saying, "Preach the Gospel, use words when necessary." Well I found the perfect way to do that. It hits at heart behind that quote and I think is the best way to just love people without any sort of agenda. Check it out.

Looks like Matt and I were pretty close to Piper himself in explaining the Gospel message.

Matt, do you still have our version of the laws? I can't find a copy anywhere.

Calvinist Metal

There's this Christian metal band, Disciple, that I've thought was pretty sweet for a while, but for some reason I never noticed how Calvinist they are until today. I was driving around listening to them and they have this song, After the World, which is a bit more chill than the others. The chorus pretty much made my day because of how Calvinist it is.

I'm the one that you've been looking for
I'm the one that you've been waiting for
I've had my eyes on you ever since you were born
I will love you after the rain falls down
I will love you after the sun goes out
I'll have my eyes on you after the world is no more

So that's proof that even metal bands can be reformed.
