For the men
March 9, 2010 | Comments Off
The men’s retreat is coming up (April 30-May 1; sign up in the hallway and/or see Matt Greco if you’re interested), and it has us thinking about ministry to the men in the body.
This video is a very helpful conversation between two very godly men discussing what it means to be a man of God. They cover training up young men into godliness, growing in leadership and service in the home, and developing deeper fellowship with other men, including how to invite and receive criticism.
Watch with a view to how you can change and grow in your role as a man, no matter what that role may be.

Things mean stuff

This is an interview with Ken Myers, who is a great thinker and cultural critic. His book, All God’s Children and Blue Suede Shoes: Christians and Popular Culture, has influenced a generation of Christians in our dealings with popular culture. He podcasts at Mars Hill Audio.
This interview covers such wide-ranging topics as movies, hymnals versus projection screens, and the meaning of technology, and I hope it will give you a taste of the kind of thinking that behooves us as followers of Christ. The central point of the interview, and I think the central point of all of Myers’ thinking, is that there is meaning in all cultural products. In other words, everything means something. This is a very counter-cultural idea, and I hope you can begin to see how Myers fleshes it out. (You might want to watch it in small portions, or else carve out an hour to see the whole thing, because it deserves your full attention. I’m about to watch it again.)

All I Have Is Christ

We began learning a new song–All I Have Is Christ–on Wednesday. It is a song of testimony, declaring to each other and to God that our only possible salvation is in Christ and His work on our behalf.
This video is a live version of that song, put together by Sovereign Grace Ministries, whose music publishing arm published and recorded the song.
You can download the song or the entire album here.
