Canberra-Goulburn Advent Message
Bishop Stuart Robinson has released his Advent Message to the Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn.
He begins by asking how Christians should live in the light of Jesus’ second advent. Well worth watching.
Hunting Tiger Woods
“Tiger Woods wants his privacy back.
He wants the media entourage to disappear from his life.
He wants to be left alone so he can manage his personal problems in private.
Not a chance…”
– C J Mahaney on a humbling and sobering story.
Don Carson on Spiritual gifts
The Gospel Coalition has posted online the audio files of Don Carson’s exceedingly helpful talks given at the 1985 Moore Theological College Annual Lectures.
This series formed the basis of his book, Showing the Spirit: A Theological Exposition of 1 Corinthians 12–14. They are –
The Unity of the Body and the Diversity of Gifts (1 Cor. 12)
The Most Excellent Way: When Does Perfection Come? (1 Cor. 13)
Prophecy and Tongues: Pursuing What Is Best (1 Cor. 14:1-15)
Order and Authority: Restraining Spiritual Gifts (1 Cor. 14:26-40)
Unleashed Power and the Constraints of Discipline: Toward a Theology of Spiritual Gifts.
Well worth downloading and hearing – again. The second file – on 1 Corinthians 13 – is incomplete (but you can always get the book!). h/t Justin Taylor.
