Make All Things New

Westminster’s The Gospel and Culture Project just got a new website (I’ve been anxiously awaiting this relaunch). Check it out!

From the site:

The Gospel & Culture Project (GCP) equips Christians to understand and apply the Gospel as truth capable of transforming human culture. We accomplish this through a group of interwoven initiatives:

Gospelandculture.org is an online community where specialists in specific areas of cultural interpretation and theological application dialogue with fellow believers about contemporary questions. The site also communicates about the ongoing work of the GCP and promotes its initiatives and events.

Forays are monthly gatherings held in the University City area of Philadelphia that explore aspects of contemporary life through the lens of the Christian faith.

In fact there is an event in Philly tonight (I wish I could go) entitled:
Jesus Watching Mad Men: A Gospel Model for Understanding Television, Film and Cyberculture Spectatorship

I encourage you to check out the site and subscribe to their feed.

From Dan Edelen

Overheard countless times in the last two months: “I am concerned about the poor performance of my investments and savings.”

Not heard even one time in the last two decades: “I am concerned about my poor performance in laying up treasure in heaven.”

Convenant Life Church is released a CD recently containing ten great hymns.  They (Covenant Life) plan on memorizing all ten using the following schedule:

November: Amazing Grace
December: Before the Throne
January: Praise to the Lord, the Almighty
February: Be Thou My Vision
March: And Can It Be
April: Crown Him with Many Crowns
May: A Mighty Fortress
June: Be Still My Soul
July: How Firm a Foundation
August: Great is Thy Faithfulness

I think my family will be joining them.

Here’s the music:

Michael Wittmer, author of Heaven Is a Place on Earth: Why Everything You Do Matters to God, has another book coming out in December. The title is: Don’t Stop Believing: Why Living Like Jesus Is Not Enough, if it is like his first book then I am sure it will be a interesting read.

His first book was challenging to me and was in a way instrumental in my growth in understanding the biblical narrative.  While I didn’t particularly care for HOW he said some things, I was interested in WHY he said what he did.  This interest led to further study and this study to prayer and growth.  So, I am looking forward to the new book.
