Idols and Evangelism

I enjoy searching through the Monergism website and I recently stumbled upon three messages by Tim Keller on evangelism. I'd encourage anyone to listen.

The first message deals with our own idols. Keller derives much of his talk from the book of Jonah. Jonah was called by God to Ninevah to preach message of repentance to the inhabitants there. Keller explains (through the story of Jonah) how our own idols affect us, how they should be confronted, and how it applies to evangelism.

The following two talks are also very helpful and practical. Keller gives helpful ways on how to communicate and what should be communicated when presenting the Gospel.

Mike McKinley Is On Fire...Figuratively Speaking Of Course......And Some Apologies...

Dear Reginald,

My apologies for sending this to you so soon after my previous correspondence, but I thought that this next post from Mike McKinley on the 9Marks blog was interesting. It concerns the 4th of July in Church.

A quote for you:

I think in our culture the evangelical church (especially the Southern Baptists with our God and Country celebrations) is often synonymous with right-wing patriotism. So I think it doesn't serve the gospel well to make a big show of patriotism in our worship gatherings. My fear is that it will hurt the Christians ("I must be a good Christian, I am a patriot and have a yellow ribbon sticker on my car") and the non-Christians ("Being a Christian means being a good American").

I know that after not corresponding with you for such a long time, and then suddenly bombarding you with these messages, that you must feel quite confused. For that I apologize. I will attempt to be more consistent with my correspondence from this point forward, as long as nothing else distracts me.

Yours Sincerely With The Most Heartfelt of Thanks,
Jason

On Blog Slugs...er...Headlines

Dear Reginald,

I'm going to be perfectly honest, I'm not exactly sure what is going on here, but the title of this blog post from 9Marks caught my eye. I should probably read into it more.

Sincerely Yours,
Jason Michael McGovern
