Jesus Life Culture Design #11

Mark Driscoll is in town this week. Media Reports: smh; sydney anglicans 1; and sydney anglicans 2. There are just 2 tickets left to Sick of Religion and about 50 left to Lovin’ the Coast. Register online. I’m looking forward to hearing Mark speak a number of times over the week. Three things I value about Mark Driscoll’s preaching: 1) He’s not boring 2) He boldly speaks the truth and 3) He speaks about Jesus… a lot!

Big weekend in sport: Usain Bolt of Jamaica smashes the world record in 100m Olympic sprint final; Grant Hackett came so close; Michael Phelps becomes the greatest Olympic Athlete of all-time; Stephanie Rice proves she’s a better swimmer than her ex-boyfriend; the A-League and English Premier League kick off; and DAVE MIERS scores his 3rd goal of the season in EV’s 4-2 victory over Bayside.

Remember, don’t worship sport. (ps – this blog just hit 50,000 hits)

Well known Christian Musician, Steven Curtis Chapman, and well known Christian Pastor + Evangelist, Greg Laurie, both recently lost a child in tragic circumstances. This morning we watched the Chapman family on Larry King Live and some heart-felt words from Laurie to his church last weekend. The resurrection of Jesus gives Christians a hope in suffering that the world doesn’t understand:

13Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. 14We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. (1 Thessalonians 4)

I attended the 2008 Theology of Youth Ministry Conference on Thursday and Friday. It was very good. Three highlights: 1) Graham Stanton’s insights on the doctrine of “accommodation” in thinking through 1 Corinthians 9 and incarnational ministry. 2) Ian Fry – he smashed it to bits! 3) Hanging out some cool peeps. Stay tuned for more…

3 Random things: #1) No Saturday morning sleep-in. I’ve been up for a few hours helping some friends move house. I enjoy helping friends move, but I’d hate to be a removalist! #2) I spent a lot of time in the car by myself yesterday. I listened to 3 of my favourite sermons. The series is by Kanishka Raffel called LOVING JESUS from Katoomba Easter Convention 2004. ‘Underestimating God’s Love’ from Luke 15:11-32, ‘Underestimating Discipleship’ from Luke 14:15-35, ‘Underestimating the worth of wealth’ from Luke 16:1-13. I didn’t get time to listen to ‘Underestimating God’s word’ from Luke 16:19-31. The series is very challenging. #3) Have a good weekend.
