I read this on the CCK blog written by the wonderful Joel Virgo (who I note is joining the speaking team at "Together on a Mission" in Brighton in July!); . The law condemns the old heart · The Spirit gives a new heart · The law gives instructions · The Spirit gives companionship · The law puts ...

During Tim Keller's second session with Newfrontiers he spoke on the importance of cities.Cities are strategic and have lots of people yet they are poorly served by the Church. Disporportionately important and disproportionately underepresented in terms of ministry. This is not to say that every Chr...

Earlier in the week, Tim Keller spoke at a Newfrontiers event. He gave three posts, and I was there taking notes but I am really sorry that this is the first chance I have got to tidy them up for publication. There were over 800 people there to hear him.

Terry began by giving a report about his trip to Australia and New Zealand which really helped to put his talk into the context of a movement that spans the globe and is on a mission together. It was so exciting to realize how small we are here in this conference even though we are here with 3600 pe...

This morning I again plan on sharing only a short summary of Dave Stroud's talk.  His spoke about how we are called to be salt and light in the world. Dave begun by speaking about the difference between Plato's view of the physical body and realm and the Christian one.  He told us not to think o...

"Jesus has ushered in a new age. His resurrection, ascension and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit have inaugurated the promised kingdom.
