We’ve had a bit of an income shift this year ***ahem*** so I need to make some changes in my book-buying habits. I’m one of those fish caught in the ease of the Amazon “One-Click” purchase system, and I’ve got a lot of books on my shelves that I will never read because of it.Continue reading “Purchasing Books With Wisdom”

The New Covenant Way: A soli deo teaching
The New Covenant Way: A teaching presented at soli deo August 1, 2006 by Michael Spencer One of the “values” of this fellowship is this: “Soli deo is teaching the Bible in a New Covenant-emphasized, Christ-centered, grace-exalting way.” I’m fairly certain that the part of that sentence that may raise the most questions is theContinue reading “The New Covenant Way: A soli deo teaching”

Recommendation: “What Was I Thinking?” by Steve Brown
At least once a year, I pick up a book by Reformed Seminary professor, radio talk show guy and Key Life speaker/teacher Steve Brown, and I am always glad I did. In fact, Steve Brown’s unique perspective in the reformed world is one of the absolute necessities for me in these post-evangelical, post-reformed times. HisContinue reading “Recommendation: “What Was I Thinking?” by Steve Brown”
Internet Monk Radio Podcast #8
Internet Monk Radio Podcast 8. Pastoring in the comments? A Vytorin ad. No more BHT Rule 40. I’m not going to be a Roman Catholic.
The Missionary Headache: Why Evangelicals Need To Support The Missionaries Among Us
It goes without saying that new ways of thinking rarely bring out the best in evangelicalism. Those dreaded “paradigm shifts” usually elicit lots of sermons on topics like “The Christian Worldview” and “The Threat of Relativistic New Age Contemplative Prayer.” No doubt, there are many times that the evangelical response to a new way ofContinue reading “The Missionary Headache: Why Evangelicals Need To Support The Missionaries Among Us”
FREE THOMAS MERTON!
I’ve put together a 30 minute podcast on Thomas Merton. I cover a lot of Merton basics, and try to put some of Merton’s interest in Eastern “mysticism” in perspective. I reduced the sound quality to make the file smaller.
