Coffee Break

This is my irregular posting of my “surfing” around the net. So grab a coffee, take a break and see what interests you.

All the audio from the LEAD conference with Tim Chester and Jonathan Dodson is available here. I really enjoyed listening to Tim on Community as Lifestyle.

Thanks to Mike Kendall.for reminding me about the Joshua Project – Unreached People of the World.

Tim Keller talks about his idols of ministry and sacrifice:

“I was using people in order to forge my own self-appreciation. I was looking to my sacrificial ministry to give me the sense of “righteousness before God” that should only come from Jesus Christ. People make idols out of money, power, accomplishment, or moral excellence. They look to these things to “save them” — to give them the sense of purity, value, and acceptability that only Jesus can give. In my case, I was using ministry (and my own people) in this way.”

Germans to wear bullet-proof vests at 2010 World Cup. Don’t worry given the current results, most South Africans would rather shoot our own players before any Germans.
