The Finished Work of Christ in Our Lives

Here is a great post by Dane Ortlund over on the Gospel Coalition blog.  It is a story of how Francis Schaeffer realized (pun intended, but you won't get it until you read the post) the importance of the gospel in our lives.

Too Good to Pass Up

Sometimes accusations fly that the blogosphere is nothing more than a giant echo chamber.  Maybe so.  But sometimes, I run across a blog post that is just too good to pass up.  This post, by Jared Compton over on the Gospel Coalition blog, is one of those.  Go read it.

As soon as I've obtained permission, I'll be printing it out for my Sunday School class.

What are you waiting for?  Go read it!

Wednesday Wisdom- 'Missional'...what does it mean?

I've heard the term missional thrown around for a number of years now, and most of the time I hear it, context is the only way to try to figure out what the author means by it.  I've interacted on other blogs with authors, asking for definitions of words at times, and often missional is one of the words I want defined.  I'm usually ignored.

A few days ago, I ran across this blog post by Ryan Kelly over on the Gospel Coalition web site.  It is by far the most helpful article I've read on missional and missionalarity (that's a new word I just made up...much like others use words in new ways).

I hope you find this as helpful as I did.  Use the hyperlinks...there's a lot more additional info buried in those.
