Engaging Church

Here’s a short list of links worthy of a click. I was out of the office Monday of this week and Friday last week for a long weekend and now all of my pre-written posts are used up…enjoy these links and I’ll be back to blogging tomorrow. – Andrew

Ed Stetzer interviewed Scot McKnight about his views of “gospel” – My favorite question of the interview: Why do you point to John Piper as one of the most poignant examples 
of a “soterian” in our day? Are you suggesting that John Piper doesn’t
 rightly define and present the gospel? …..I love interviews that pull no punches and ask the questions we’re all thinking. Here’s a link to McKnight’s video for The King Jesus Gospel  and here’s a link to some of his preaching on “Did Jesus Preach the Gospel,” in case you’re wondering what all the fuss is about.

Dave Gibbons on what our true measure of success should be: Pleasing the masses, or the maestro?

Conrade Yap at the Panorama of a Book Saint blog gave Organic Outreach for Churches a great review. If you’re looking to change the culture of your church to one that has outreach embedded in everything in does. Don’t miss this book. Conrade will tell you why.

The Preaching Today book awards were recently announced. – Included in this list is John Koessler’s Folly, Grace, and Power.

Random: Facinating pictures of old buildings in NYC - I stumbled on this great blog, “Lost City.” Looks like the writer has been keeping it up since 2006. He photographs and posts the history of vintage buildings in NYC. I lived outside the city when I was younger, so this blog brought back a lot of good nostaligic feelings.

Bonus: Keeping up the “lost in new york” theme, the “Lost in York” blog recently posted reviews of The King Jesus Gospel and Barefoot Church.
