Really good stuff. He's got a missio-anthropological analysis and a lot of very practical approach advise. I especially like his sensitivity in understanding the ways Christians put their foot in their mouths most of the time we try to wander into this kind of ministry. Good stuff.

It's rather intersesting when he turns and talks about the British monarchy. Never thought much about that whole deal. pvk

Tim Keller

Thursday 13 April 2006 at 9:31 pm In June I'll be taking a trip with some pastor buds to NYC to do some squatting around Redeemer Pres. Thought I should do some Tim Keller reading. I've greatly enjoyed his stuff before so this should be fun.

Here's a link to a really good piece on evangelism. pvk

Image of God and Humanity

Wednesday 12 April 2006 at 5:01 pm A couple of nights ago I was watching “Walk the Line”, the story of Johnny Cash. Early in the movie young Johnny sat glued to the radio. They obviously lived in poverty and the radio was highly valued in the house. The movie might have been portraying the 1940s. The thought struck me, here just 60 years later look at what humanity has done with technology. We carry around small plastic and metal devices today through which we can communicate economically with almost anywhere in the world, right now. We have the Internet where we can publish almost limitlessly for very little money. Just look at what humanity has done through technology in the last 60 years, it is almost incomprehensible. The truth is that the next 60 years may bring even more change as the pace of change continues to increase. We must stand in wonder to look at what humanity has accomplished. It is truly breathtaking.
