How Young is Too Young to Preach?

Check out this video on a couple of child preachers. How do you feel about it? How do you feel about what the ‘Religion Professor’ says at the end?

Best News I Heard All Day

There are plenty of people who want to knock Mark Driscoll; they like to get on blogs and call him arrogant and mean-spirited. I think people who do this are lame.

Two of the coolest ministries out there are The Resurgence and the Acts 29 Network. The Resurgence is primarily a web based ministry that hosts all kinds of theological training and materials. The Acts 29 Network is a ministry that provides conferences, workshops, training materials and networking opportunities for church planters and pastors who want to band together and spread the Gospel.

Both of these ministries are headed up by Mark and are underwritten by the people of Mars Hill Church. I am so grateful that Mark is leading ministries that are giving back, often free of charge, to others who wish do grow in their faith and Gospel work.

Here is just another example of how The Resurgence and Acts 29 go over the top.

All main sessions and Q&A at [National Resurgence Conference 2008 Text & Context] will be live-streamed right here at http://www.theResurgence.com! Sessions can be viewed here. And of course, once we get the conference sessions edited, audio and video of all of the sessions will be posted on this site for download or streaming. We wish you could join us in person, but hopefully you will be sufficiently consoled knowing that you can watch at home in the comfort of your jammies and bunny slippers.

He Said I Did What?

In case you missed this a couple days ago on my wife’s blog. I am guessing she paid Jacob to say this…

Driscoll Video on Predestination

A friend of mine who had been riding the Armenian/Calvinist fence recently watched this message and sent me a text message that read, “I am a total calvvy now!” Funny stuff. This is a great presentation on the doctrine of predestination. It is about an hour long.

If you have ever wondered exactly what most Calvinist’s believe about how people are saved you should watch this. It is especially convincing when Driscoll talks about the state humans are in because of sin and our inability to choose God because our sinfulness.

Buzz Worthy Videos

Make sure you check out these videos from the Buzz Conference Film Festival; there are some very creative, well done pieces. Seeing this kind of creativity and level of excellence used in the church pumps me up! Also, all the audio and visual content from the conference is online as well.

Way to go NCC for leading the way and providing this content free of charge.

Wild Pitch By Cincinnati Mayor

Pretty pumped about the MLB season beginning. My hometown MN Twins are off to a great 2-0 start. But I am cheering most for the Boston Red Sox. Yes, I am a proud part of the Red Sox nation.

I enjoyed playing baseball growing up. I was a catcher, so I saw my share of wild pitches, but I have never seen anything quite like the pitch thrown by the Cincinnati mayor at the Reds opening day game.

Why Crosby is the Best

Why is Sidney Crosby the best player in the NHL? Count how many guys are standing around him in the clip from Saturday…

Object Orange Objects

Joe Thorn pointed out this article highlighting the unique response of local artists to neighborhood decay in Detroit. It will take about two seconds for you to read it.

Or…you can watch this video about it.

Human Depravity Displayed

The sad depravity of humanity apart from the light of Christ…

Watch.

Furtick and Elevation

Here is a pretty sweet blog by a pastor whose church is rockin’ it. Check out his posts Nice is Overrated and I Promised You a Good Comeback. Read the second one first, they go together.

Here is a video that his church (Elevation Church) recently used to make a major announcement. Using videos like this is a great idea. Video causes people to tune in during a time when they usually turn out.
