At the Reform & Resurge conference (2006) at Mars Hill in Seattle Tim Keller gave a talk on "Being the Church in Our Culture." Now the article, "Being the Church in Our Culture," that Keller gave to conference attendees is online. Check it out.

Gospel Coalition: Tim Keller Interviews
The Gospel Coalition website (which has gone from a little helpful toward really helpful in a short period of time) has a number of short video interviews (linkable) with key players: Don Carson, John Piper, Mark Driscoll, and yes, Tim Keller. As you could have guessed, I'm linking the Keller (and Carson/Keller) ones here for you. To see them more quickly, just go to the interviews page and scroll to them. And don't forget to visit my Tim Keller Resources page.
Links and Stuff
A handful of things that you need to know, hear, see, or read...
- Tonight I will probably put up a single post that I will update throughout Molly's surgery and hospital stay. I will try to keep updates at the top of the page with time stamps on the page so you can read what has happened as they happened. The hospital says it has wifi throughout, so being online and live-blogging the next few days shouldn't be much of a problem.
- Please start immediately downloading Stereogum's tribute to Radiohead's OK Comupter. It's free and includes some great bands like Dave Bazan's Black Cloud, Cold War Kids, and Twilight Sad. It's not Radiohead, but it's still fun. By the way, they aren't going to leave these free mp3's up forever so grab them asap. Couldn't wait for Music Monday on this one.
- JJ Abrams. 1-18-08. Nuff said.
- Drew Goodmanson on The Gospel Awakening (file through his posts on triperspectivalism too).
- John Piper on Why We Should Have Courage to Speak About Christ.
- Gary Rohrmayer on Sharpening Your Evangelistic Skills.
- I don't know if I've mentioned it before, bu there is now a version of 2 Ways to Live for kids.
- Darrin Patrick's The Journey Church has done a service by providing this Keller-oriented Religion and the Gospel.
Keller on Idolatry
(New link to Keller's "Talking About Idolatry in a Postmodern Age.")
I can't find a way to link to it directly, but you can read Tim Keller's "Talking About Idolatry in a Postmodern Age" at the Gospel Coalition site. I don't think I have it linked elsewhere.
Start on the Gospel Coalition articles page, click on "authors," click on "Tim Keller" under the "Contemporary Authors" section.
Personally, I don't understand why sites are built so you can't link directly to everything. But at least it's there. Maybe they will eventually add permalinks to everything.
UPDATE: They have added url's to all the articles. Good work guys. "Talking About Idolatry in a Postmodern Age."
Redeemer: #1 Multiplying Church
I don't get into church lists very much. Seem to me to be mostly a waste of energy. But since I'm a Kellerophile I figured I should mention that Redeemer Pres in NYC has been named the #1 on the Top 25 Multiplying Churches in America list by Outreach Magazine. In other news, my local church didn't make the list.
Keller @ Gospel Coalition Conference
Here's Tim Keller's Gospel Coalition Conference message: "Gospel-Centered Ministry" (also video). You should already have it if you subscribe to the Resurgence podcast. Check out the rest of my Tim Keller resources.

Allelon - "a movement of missional leaders" -- They have a website which has a number of resources, but I'm really loving Alan Roxburgh's netcast (especially the audio podcast) the most. There are things said that I don't like or agree with, but in general this is a great podcast for seeing the emerging missional church for what it is and what it claims to be in different locations. The interview with Steve Taylor is really great.
Theology Unplugged (TUP) is a podcast by some Dallas Seminary profs. They say, "The uniqueness of TUP is that we speak on theological issues of the day with clarity, honesty, and openness. TUP allows the listener to make informed judgments on the most important theological issues today." Their seven part series on the emerging church is a great example of that. I'm through the first three episodes and I'm pretty shocked at how well they do in trying to understand the emerging church. Well worth hearing. (HT: Internet Monk Radio)
Peter Leithart finds ways of saying things that just make sense to me...
One of my recurring frustrations with recent debates in the Reformed world is a widespread failure of theological imagination. Too many seem to operate on the assumption that we have everything already figured out; we have all possible categories and positions ready to hand. All we need do is deploy these categories on whatever happens our way. It'll fit, Procrustes says.
Thus, it is seriously proposed that someone is either on the road to Rome or the Road to Geneva - with no possibility of a third (or fourth, or fifth) destination, with no possibility that there might be something in between (though in between is where much of the Christian world lives). And if I suggest that we Reformed might still have something to learn from the Bible about justification, then I must be Rabbinic or Roman Catholic - there simply is no other alternative.
The Evangelical Outpost (Joe Carter) wonders why Southern Baptists would create boundaries with alcohol that would exclude Jesus from leadership in the convention. He asks, "Can we be more ethical than Jesus?"
