Wise advice from someone who actually survived the Great Depression.
Dr. Michael Haykin reviews A university for the people: A history of the Institute for Christian Studies. The author describes ICS’s problems attracting students from the broader evangelical community. Given that Professor’s Hart and Olthius have been promoting homosexuality as a legitimate lifestyle since the early 90’s this will continue to be a problem.
John Piper’s church, Bethlehem Baptist, has a great resource for getting a daily bible reading habit going. They’ve taken the Discipleship Bible Reading Plan and created a PDF that can be cut out into four bookmarks. Fancy.
Jesus returns! In a seat cushion? See here. (HT: The Lonesome Mongoose).
There’s a great church conference coming up on this Saturday. Epiphaneia is sponsoring a conference called The Evolving Church: Amidst the Powers. I plan on attending and maybe live blogging some sessions. I’m volunteering though, so I don’t know if I’ll have the time. I recommend that you all consider coming. I’m especially excited to see Marva Dawn and Stan Hauerwas, not so much for Walter Wink.
Forget Hauerwas, you should be especially excited to hear my response to Hauerwas!
Dan,
How’s that going to work? Are you doing a response alone or with a team of other people? Are you going to get to see his paper in advance or is the response going to be off the cuff?
I look forward to seeing what happens.
KB.
Last I heard, Sylvia Keesmaat and I were selected to respond to Hauerwas (c. 5 minutes each). I have already received his paper and have written my response (so it won’t be off the cuff).
Looking forward to it Dan. I’m also looking forward to seeing how many times Hauerwas cusses.
