Justin Taylor’s take on McClarenism:

Justin Taylor at Between two Worlds posted some thoughts on the latest book by Brian McClaren called “A New Kind of Christianity” and its well worth a read. He also links to Kevin DeYoung’s 12 page tome where Kevin reviews “A New Kind of Christianity” chapter by chapter all the way through the book. If you’re interested in Emergent philosophy or just a fan of McClaren, these words are worth your time. I think Justin sums up my thoughts on the subject nicely.

“I hesitate to post on Brian McLaren’s latest book, A New Kind of Christianity. My personal preference with books like this is often to ignore them, not giving them the attention they so desire. -After all, ‘controversy sells.”- But the book was published by a major publisher (HarperOne), and as of this morning it is #706 at Amazon.com. So people are going to read this book—a book that represents a significant attack on orthodox Christianity.”

One of my favorite bloggers, Tim Challies, is posting a 3-letter email exchange with Luke from Common Sense Atheism. The exchange started today and should prove to be interesting.

Another from the “Why Europe” file. A Christian registrar was forced from her post because she refused to officiate a homosexual union. The decision was appealed in her favor but then overturned by a London Court of Appeals last Tuesday all in the name of “equality.” Funny how equality only flows one way?

I've been too busy to blog recently. Holding down a full time job, preaching, and preparing for missions has sapped my time but it has been a great time of refreshment, repentance, and renewal. There has been a ton of great blogging material over the past few days that I just had to link to here:

Time magazine explores the supposed differences between Europeans and Americans. (Hint: They're not a great as you would think.)

C. Holland at Missionary Confidential posted some positive aspects of the reverse furlough today. Well worth a read and a huge departure from the nightmare "normal" 1-year stateside furlough visit. I look forward to article number 2. He also linked to an older article from MissioMishMash about the missionary furlough visit. Recommended reading if you're planning your next furlough visit.

Have churches forgotten the Great Commission? Is your church partnering with long term missionaries for the spreading of the kingdom? If not, the Upstream Collective blog wants to know why not?

Missional Space had a great question regarding William Carey's decision to go to India to the detriment of his family. It's an interesting discussion. Come join the fun.

Should a church planter be bi-vocational? Depends on who you ask...the answer over on 9Marks might surprise you.

It is never easy when a missionary and his family leave, sometimes it’s downright painful. C. Holland over at Missionary Confidential wrote about losing missionary #20 today. We missionaries and ministers need your prayers because ministry isn’t easy.

If you’ve ever used an NIV, you might find this interview with Douglas Moo regarding the announcement of the NIV 2011 interesting.

If Portugal is to make it into next year’s World Cup they’ll need a solid win against Denmark. Here’s hoping that Portugal can pull it out against the Danes.

"There's not much to say. We have to win. That's it," Portugal playmaker Deco said. "We'd have liked to have been in a more comfortable position at this point, but we can still do it and we have to win these upcoming matches."

Is the social medium a fad? You tell me...


Like him or not, Warren Buffet is truly an economic mogul who’s opinion should at least be considered when speaking on monetary policy. His op-ed in the New York Times is an interesting article on the debt that the U.S. is pumping into the world economy.

“To understand this threat, we need to look at where we stand historically. If we leave aside the war-impacted years of 1942 to 1946, the largest annual deficit the United States has incurred since 1920 was 6 percent of gross domestic product. This fiscal year, though, the deficit will rise to about 13 percent of G.D.P., more than twice the non-wartime record. In dollars, that equates to a staggering $1.8 trillion. Fiscally, we are in uncharted territory.”

We all start out as the fry guy...

Steve McCoy has written a two-parter on intentional engagement of neighbors and acquaintances in sharing the life and message of Jesus with them. One article is on Sub Text blog the other part is on his reformissionary blog. Great ideas!

Polyamory is a growing trend (I guess) within Western Culture and Albert Mohler shares his thoughts on this bankrupt trend.

“The movement now claims a number of recognized books, logs, podcasts, and even an online magazine entitled "Loving More." According to Newsweek, actress Tilda Swinton and Carla Bruni, the First Lady of France, have emerged as prominent spokespersons for nonmonogamy. As should be expected, the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction at Indiana University now features a "polyamory library."

UPI has a very interesting article about the death of the socialist left in European politics. As I’ve blogged elsewhere, the left-leaning political parties have taken a severe beating this past year and will probably do so into the coming year as several general elections come around. We need to be praying that God will put governments in place that open opportunities for preaching and teaching Jesus in Western Europe.

"Is the PS (Parti Socialiste) going to die? No. It is dead," says prominent French philosopher Bernard-Henri Levy. "No one, or almost no one, dares say it. But everyone, or almost everyone, knows it's true."

What do you do with seemingly disappointing outcomes when working in very difficult circumstances? These are the types of questions that must be asked by those of us working in western culture. C. Holland explores it here.

The Alter: Not the Finish Line

“Marriage is not about two single people moving into one house but otherwise continuing to live their lives as before. Marriage is about the complete unification of two very different individuals — two sinners who, no matter how strong their attraction to one another, no matter how strong their Christian commitment, will get on one another's nerves in the years to come in ways no other person will.”

Mission Space in particular has some really great missions content:

“Few can dispute the impact of the 10/40 window concept coined by Luis Bush in 1990. As we closed in on the new millenium it became the rallying cry for all involved in missions. Not only was it a brilliant marketing idea and educational… it also helped to redefine strategies for mission agencies all over the world...Sadly there have been a few side effects of this focus....”

Late breaking news from Portugal prompted an update as it will be our home (Lord willing) next year. The Portuguese High Court today rejected the challenge brought by a lesbian couple seeking to force the observance of homosexual “marriage” in Portugal. (Story continued here) I have written on this previously but today’s decision, while sure to be challenged, is a great victory for those wishing to preserve culture and population against a liberalist agenda.

John Piper explains his take on Jesus’ discourse in Luke 11:33-36 where he defines the eyes as the lamp of the body:

“‘Be careful!’ This is the only imperative in the text. Be careful what you see! Be careful what you regard as bright and attractive and compelling. If it is not Christ, you will be filled with darkness—no matter how bright it seems for a season. Candles seem bright until the sun comes out. Then they are useless and put away.”

Does Europe have a voice in the world? Dominique Moïsi contends that because of England and France’s continued existence on the UN security Council, its voice is diluted and fractured. This type of comparison flies in the face of the sovereignty of nations and reveals what many European elitists really desire for Europe, the dissolving of many sovereign countries into one government, ruled from Brussels. Click here to read her argument.

I came across “Young Men: Learn Self Control” (via Tim Challies) and was encouraged by the comparison between a son’s little-league game outburst and Tom Watson’s gracious, gentlemanly defeat at the British Open. This is epitome of Christlikeness in every endeavor, one that many men never grasp, and the rest of us take a lifetime to learn.

Reverse culture shock is a tough experience to go through. We went through it when we returned to America after leaving Ireland for about a year. Everything was “wrong” and we didn’t want to let go of the traits we had picked up on while living outside of our culture. Eventually it wore off and people stopped making fun of the way that we were pronouncing things. Musings from a French-Fried Texan has a great article today on Reverse Culture Shock having returned to Texas for a short time while away from their home in France. It’s a funny, resonating read and a little painful. The next time you’re around a missionary going through this, give them a hug, offer a prayer, and just listen to them. (via missionaryconfidential.com)

You don’t normally experience a church in silence together unless it’s at a funeral but Mark Dever over at 9Marks explains why sitting in silence a little each week might be a good practice to adopt.

Is unifying a language as widely spoken as Portuguese a good thing? Daniel Mingas, dean of Higher Institute of Education Sciences in Luanda Angola, believes that it is. Portuguese, like English is spread out over large distances and spoken by millions and millions of people but cultural styles persist. Should cultures dictate the spelling of a particular language or should there be a unified spelling?

Considering elders? Here is an interesting discussion over on 9Marks concerning the move towards biblical elders.

Is there evidence for David’s palace? I didn’t think there was a discussion about this but after reading the article I guess there was/is...

“How Jewish is Jerusalem? You might think that's a silly question, but in the world of academia, revisionist history and even biblical archaeology, scholars have cast the shadow of doubt over Judaism's intrinsic connection to Jerusalem.”
Click here to read the rest of the article.

Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams said, “I hope and pray that there won't be decisions in the coming days that could push us further apart,” speaking today of the Episcopal church’s decision to allow Homosexual clergy to practice within the confines of the “church” walls. What a sad day.

Yesterday was 12 July when Northern Irish protestants march through Catholic neighborhoods celebrating William of Orange. They didn’t march yesterday, in honor of Sunday, so they did it today. It doesn’t appear they made many friends. 12 July always bothered Angelina and I when we were living in Ireland. Not only because of the hatred and bigotry of the event but also the supposed “Christian” nature of the exercise. Paul said that as Christians our task is to do everything in our power to live peacefully but that is not the case in “Christian” Northern Ireland.

Who are the “worst behaved tourists in Europe?” It may not be who you think...

Ray Ortlund posted about Jesus Jr. a few days ago. Who are you following, Jesus Jr. or the real Jesus?

The Preeminence of Christ (Colossians 1:15-23)

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by [6] him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.

And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation [7] under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.

Independence Day took place last weekend here in America and many churches used their Sunday morning assembly times to celebrate and honor the independence of the United States. Everything from flag ceremonies to historical sermons about the founding fathers to “freedom” concerts took place in “houses of worship” all across America. WorshipMatters.com posted an interesting question on the 4th entitled Should July 4th Affect Our Sunday Planning? Whether you witnessed one of these ceremonies or actively opposed them the question is a good one and the post is worth reading.

Is Europe still relevant? That’s the question asked by John Vinocur at the New York Times today. He seems to read tea leaves a bit in trying to deduce his conclusion from the words of politicians but still manages to ask a very relevant question. In light of the recent economic downturn and the lack of follow through with Russia and Iran, it would seem that Europe is struggling to find its voice and a collective spine. While she may be struggling on a political stage her ideology of liberalism and degraded morality is still a strong commodity on the world stage. Is Europe still relevant? Depends on what you’re talking about.

As I mentioned several weeks ago, European politics is changing. Portugal’s center-right party Social Democrats (SD) just triumphed in the last election. I am shocked.

How should Europe respond to Iran? “Europe used to be the good cop with Iran, engaging with the regime on tricky issues like its nuclear program while the bad cop, the U.S., rasped that Tehran was part of an "axis of evil." But the European Union's moderating stance has done it few favors in the wake of last month's disputed Iranian elections.”

Is that salt Salinas Portuguese salt you’re eating? Just be sure to wear your rubber shoes!

Installing 1,300 charging stations, Portugal attempts to move to a “greener” driving environment. Question: How do they plan on creating the electricity to charge the charging stations? This topic will be readdressed in the future after we move over.

How did a 13 year old make me feel o...l...d...?

Tim Challies (one of my favorite bloggers) posted some Brian Regan on his site today and tied it in for bloggers. “Just go out and live life, you’ll find plenty of ideas.” I agree.

Here’s one of my favorite Brian Regan skits:


Enough is Enough posts up-to-date statistics about internet pornography usage on their website. The consumption of pornography has sky-rocketed over the last few years making the importance of protecting ourselves and our families imperative.

The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, “The two will become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. 1 Corinthians 6:13-20

After living in Ireland for three years it was interesting to see the influence that Islam was having in the country. The influence was felt primarily in seeing more and more women wearing headscarves on Grafton Street and in the media. We were constantly reading articles in the newspapers about the growing Muslim voice and how their cultural views were being considered in more and more public debates. No matter what your stance is on the issue, Islam is growing in number and influence all across Europe which is why this video ought to be a wake up call to anyone concerned with these things. *Caveat, I don’t believe the video is advocating procreation as a means of evangelism but procreation is a part of the answer to population loss.

What do mega-church attendees really think? Tim Challies links to the Christian Post article that seeks to answer that question. I was not raised in a mega-church and have not had a lot of exposure to them but I have always found the mega-church dynamic intriguing. While in Atlanta earlier this Spring, the misses and I had a chance to visit a satellite campus of a major mega-church in the Atlanta area. The people seemed nice and the production was absolutely flawless but that was the issue for us, it was a production. “Church” is not an event or something to “go to.” It is a composite of the people saved by Jesus and redeemed from sin bonded together as a family. When a church is turned into a production something vital is lost. Either way, interesting survey and possible post fodder for later.

Being an avid reader of websites like Consumerist, I’ve picked up some sleuth-like tools for ferreting out deals to save money. Last week I purchased a previous generation Macbook Pro from the Apple refurbished store for a great price. Yesterday’s announcement of new Macbook Pro’s pushed the price of the Mac that I wanted but couldn’t afford down into my price range but left me in the awkward position of figuring out what to do with my newly acquired older purchase. I promptly rang up Apple this morning, explained my situation and they told me to return my purchase, no hassle, no fees. They then sent me to their sales department where I placed a purchase for the unibody mac that I wanted and informed me that there was an unadvertised special of an extra $100 off the purchase price bringing my total price for an aluminum unibody Macbook Pro to *drumroll please* $1249.00! That is $750 cheaper than that same model was selling for just yesterday.

Saving money isn’t magical nor is there an insider’s trick, it is simply following God’s lead and submitting our will to that of our Savior Jesus. Having the characteristics such as patience, self-control, and not falling for an idolatrous temptation when dealing with technology (or food, sex, cars, clothes, etc) go a long way in staving off envy and materialism. And you know what? Most of the time, it will help you get a great deal too.

Christianity Today has a fascinating article on Tim Keller, founder of Redeemer Presbyterian in New York City. Tim Keller is one of my favorite speakers (most closely aligned with my speaking style) and the author of a great book, The Reason for God. Great things are happening in New York. Check it out here.




As I reported yesterday, big news on the Apple front. Today, Tim Challies published his review of a new book by Greg Dutcher entitled, “You are the Treasure That I Seek: But there is a lot of cool stuff out there Lord.” An apt review especially considering every techie is either thinking about the new iPhone 3GS or the new Palm Pre. There is plenty of tinder to fuel the idolatry fire and this book appears to be point us back to the only real satisfaction, Jesus. Check out his review and find the book from my Amazon link below.

Are we addicted to entertainment? Is there a difference between entertainment and amusement? Tim Challies attempts to answer these questions in response to John Piper’s blog on the same subject. Always helpful to examine ourselves in light of the Cross.

This past weekend our congregation, Life Journey Church, had a great time serving Covenant Community Services as a part of Gone For Good. It continues to be an amazing experience and one that we hope to replicate in Portugal.

Living in Europe I can personally attest to the usefulness of having coins for larger denominations of currency. The 1 and 2 Euro coins come in very handy when paying for small items, using vending machines, or paying tolls. However my wife prefers the paper notes because they’re lighter to carry, especially when you’re saddled with a pocket full of 1¢ coins. Consumer Reports is asking the question “is it Time to do away with coins?” It’s an interesting question.

If you’re among the crowd who’s viewing habits are changing from television to the internet (as ours has) you might find Ars Technica’s review of the new Hulu app interesting.

Tim Challies writes “Here is a round-up of search terms that, if you search for them, are going to lead you into trouble. ‘Some of the riskiest searches on the Internet currently have to do with finding items for free, or looking for work that can be done from home, according to a new report from McAfee.’” (via Tim Challies’s blog)

Justin Taylor notes the new preaching book “Why Johnny Can’t Preach” by T. David Gordon

I love the reading of God’s word publicly in the assembly and in small groups and I wonder if we are losing the art of publicly reading it. In fact I actually took a class on reading the Bible aloud at seminary and it changed the way I view the subject. Justin Taylor discusses an article about the lost art of reading aloud from the New York Times. Hopefully this isn’t something we ever lose in the Lord’s church.
