Words of God in Black

There has been a bit of blog talk today on “Red-Letter Christians.” Justin Taylor had a post this morning quoting DA Carson on Red-Letter Christians and Ben Bathgate has a good round up this arvo of all the discussion on Red-Letter Christians and Red-Letter Bibles.

Red-Letter Bibles are the ones with the “words of Christ” in red. Red-Letter Christians are those who devote themselves to those red letters.

Ignatious of Antioch

In Acts 5 the apostles were dragged before the big wigs and told to shut up about Jesus, or else… This wasn’t the first time either! Back in Acts 4:20 after they were warned to shut up about Jesus they said: “we can’t help but speak of what we’ve seen and heard in Christ Jesus.”

On this occasion, they end up getting released again – not before they are flogged. Check out their reaction:

Good Weekend

The post title says it all! Here are 4 snapshots from the last couple of days. On Friday night I spoke at the Blue Mountains Youthsurge – the sketch of me was drawn by a kid during my interview. The talk was okay – but I’ll be making some significant changes for when I do it again in a couple of weeks.

Good weekend

Good sleep in on Saturday. Won soccer 8-0 (scored 1 set up 3 or 4). Took some photos in the city. Had dinner with Row and Ruth after equip. Went with Row, Robyn (Row’s mum), Rach (Row’s sister) and Nath (Rach’s husband) in the Mothers Day Classic at the Domain this morning. Relaxed arvo. Scott Petty gave a great talk this evening at Senior High. It was the 2nd in a 3 part series on Jesus: Prophet, Priest and King. Now finishing the easiest essay of my life! Peaceout.
