1. The Gospel and the Ordinary (Bill Streger from Lead ’10)
How does the Gospel fit into our ordinary lives? How does the Gospel impact our enjoyment of the gifts of God? This is a great sermon and well worth your time. (Thanks to Jared Wilson for the heads up)
2. Christians and Politics
Christians and Politics generally annoy me, but I think this book is probably worth a read. Here is the introduction by Tim Keller to City of Man: Religion and Politics in a New Era
What does this mean? It means that any simplistic Christian response to politics—the claim that we shouldn’t be involved in politics, or that we should “take back our country for Jesus”—is inadequate. In each society, time, and place, the form of political involvement has to be worked out differently, with the utmost faithfulness to the Scripture, but also the greatest sensitivity to culture, time, and place. This book is a great beginning.
3. 400 Years of Kings James
This year marks the 400th anniversary of the King James Version.
4. Reading the classics together
Sometimes it is easier to read with a group. Tim Challies is bringing back “Reading the Classics Together“. The book is Christianity and Liberalism
From the Amazon summary:
Machens classic defense of orthodox Christianity established the importance of scriptural doctrine and contrasts the teachings of liberalism and orthodoxy on God and man, the Bible, Christ, salvation, and the church. Though originally published nearly seventy years ago, the book maintains its relevance today. It was named one of the top 100 books of the millennium by World magazine and one of the top 100 books of the century by Christianity Today.
