So we’ve got some good links today, but we’re going to limit it to three distinct topics: church, ethnicity, and Randy Alcorn.
Church
Over at the desiringGod blog they’ve been doing a series on the local church, with each article focusing on a different Bible passage that illustrates a different role or function of the church. All of them are worth the time it takes to read and reflect on them:
- For Your Perseverance
- Training You for Ministry
- Helping You Grow Up
- People to Suffer With
- People to Rejoice With
- A Safe Place to be Judged
- Indispensable
Ethnicity
Switching gears a bit, the Mars Hill Church blog has been doing a series that explores various aspects of Biblical manhood, and they posted a couple of articles that caught my eye because they specifically addressed Christianity from an Asian-American perspective. The first article dealt with comparing and contrasting the teachings of Christ and Confucius. (That’s probably going to appeal more to the folks of Chinese descent in our congregation, and might help in talking with unsaved family members). The second article posed ten questions for the Asian Christian man, relating to particular challenges that come up in that heritage or family background.
Let me know if either of those were useful. A while back, we covered desiringGod launching their Chinese website (complete with many Piper articles in Chinese). I know that many folks in our church are on the lookout for good resources for unbelieving family members, or good non-English resources.
Randy Alcorn
And last up, we have two more videos with Randy Alcorn for you. The first delves into How God Uses Evil for Good, and the second asks Are Young Pro-Life Evangelicals Inconsistant?
Enjoy!
