New R.C. Sproul Commentary on John
I had the pleasure of proof-reading this book. Of all the books on which I've ever provided editorial feedback, it was the most enjoyable and the most fruitful read for me. This is another expositional commentary from Dr. Sproul - it is not an exhaustive treatment of every verse in John, but it faithfully covers the "big picture" of each passage covered (they are essentially sermons converted into chapters).
The Gospel of John is (in my view) both the most theologically rich gospel and the most evangelistic (the account with the Samaritan woman in chapter 4, the adulteress woman in John 8, the theological nuance in John 6 - an excruciating articulation of total depravity and unconditional election). If you love the Gospel of John, I'd encourage you to pick up this volume as a devotional companion.

New John Piper Book
John Piper's latest book, A Sweet and Bitter Providence: Sex, Race, and the Sovereignty of God, looks interesting, as always. The product description:
Sex. Race. Scripture. Sovereignty. The book of Ruth entails them all. So readers shouldn't be fooled by its age, says Pastor John Piper. Though its events happened over 3,000 years ago, the story holds astounding relevance for Christians in the twenty-first century.The book is due out on January 31, 2010, but is available now for pre-order.The sovereignty of God, the sexual nature of humanity, and the gospel of God's mercy for the undeserving-these massive realities never change. And since God is still sovereign, and we are male or female, and Jesus is alive and powerful, A Sweet and Bitter Providence bears a message for readers from all walks of life. But be warned, Piper tells his audience: This ancient love affair between Boaz and Ruth could be dangerous, inspiring all of us to great risks in the cause of love.

Pantheism and Avatar
Ross Douthat writes an op-ed piece for the NY Times on pantheism in the new blockbuster film Avatar:
In Cameron’s sci-fi universe, this communion is embodied by the blue-skinned, enviably slender Na’Vi, an alien race whose idyllic existence on the planet Pandora is threatened by rapacious human invaders. The Na’Vi are saved by the movie’s hero, a turncoat Marine, but they’re also saved by their faith in Eywa, the “All Mother,” described variously as a network of energy and the sum total of every living thing.I've not seen Avatar, but I think Douthat is right on the money (as he often is). Read the whole thing.If this narrative arc sounds familiar, that’s because pantheism has been Hollywood’s religion of choice for a generation now. It’s the truth that Kevin Costner discovered when he went dancing with wolves. It’s the metaphysic woven through Disney cartoons like “The Lion King” and “Pocahontas.” And it’s the dogma of George Lucas’s Jedi, whose mystical Force “surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds the galaxy together.”
The Blind Side strikes me as a better flick to see during this holiday season. It is a true story, as World magazine recently explored in a cover story.

USA Today on Multi-site Churches
Interesting, informative USA Today story on the multi-site church phenomenon. Tim Keller, Mark Driscoll, and Ed Stetzer are all quoted. Couple factoids:
Megachurches with two or more locations under the same leadership made up 37% of U.S. Protestant churches in 2008, up from 22% in 2000, according to a study by the Leadership Network and Hartford Institute for Religion Research in Hartford, Conn.A parishioner at Reedeemer makes this astute comment, after noting that she misses seeing her pastor every week: "We're just not looking for that kind of relationship with a pastor anymore. Today, it's all about a personal relationship with God, not the culture of a church. And a megachurch or a multisite church can still offer this. If you are there to hear a message and it's a powerful one, it shouldn't matter how it's delivered."Of the USA's 100 largest churches, 67% now have two or more sites and 60% of the 100 fastest-growing churches also have multiple sites, according to the annual listings of the USA's largest churches in Outreach magazine's October issue.
I wish the article had examined if there is a growth in a sort-of "free rider" phenomenon at multi-site churches (i.e., a larger percentage of parishioners who don't make relational connections, but merely attend a particular service, possibly only when the main preacher is physically present). From our Bethlehem days, I know many at multi-site churches are highly involved, but I think there is also a sizable chunk of folks who merely have a "God-and-me" experience week-to-week (mediated by the high-profile pastor). Multi-site churches may also be tougher on introverts.
Anyway, the USA Today piece is not all negative.
Update: In the comments, Ed Stetzer links to an interesting dissertation by Warren Bird on mega-churches. Bird argues that (if anything) there is less of a free-rider effect in mega-churches. In other words, as Stetzer notes, "people's involvement is the same or better in larger churches than in smaller churches." Check out the link.

What's wrong with the Senate health care bill?
Yuval Levin sums up why conservatives are still dead-set against it, but also why progressives like Howard Dean and Rolland Burris are now publicly opposed as well:
In essence, what's left of the bill compels universal participation in a system that everyone agrees is a failure without reforming that system, and even exacerbates its foremost problem — the problem of exploding costs.Read the whole thing. (You'll also learn why you should have bought health insurance stocks a few months ago.)
HT: Power Line
In a poll conducted by NBC News/Wall Street Journal from December 11-14, just 32% say that President Obama's health-reform plan is a good idea, and 47% oppose it. NBC's Mark Murray writes: "In addition, for the first time in the survey, a plurality prefers the status quo to reform. By a 44-41 percent margin, respondents say it would be better to keep the current system than to pass Obama's health plan."
C.S. Lewis College
Interesting announcement from the C.S. Lewis Foundation:
"The C.S. Lewis Foundation has long envisioned establishing C.S. Lewis College in the U.S. as a fully accredited Christian institution of Great Books and Visual and Performing Arts. That vision is now about to become a reality as plans move forward to launch C.S. Lewis College on the beautiful campus in Northfield, Massachusetts, recently acquired for this purpose from Northfield Mount Hermon School. This property has been purchased for the use of C.S. Lewis College by Hobby Lobby, a privately held retail chain of arts and crafts stores based in Oklahoma City, OK.
Subject to securing all appropriate approvals, C.S. Lewis College currently plans to commence instruction in Fall 2012."

Contra Santa Claus
Good post by Noel Piper on why it is better for young children not to grow up mixing Santa Claus with the manger scene:
First, fairy tales are fun and we enjoy them, but we don’t ask our children to believe them.Read the whole thing.Second, we want our children to understand God as fully as they’re able at whatever age they are. So we try to avoid anything that would delay or distort that understanding. It seems to us that celebrating with a mixture of Santa and manger will postpone a child’s clear understanding of what the real truth of God is. It’s very difficult for a young child to pick through a marble cake of part-truth and part-imagination to find the crumbs of reality.

First let Joe Carter dispel some of the myths. Here are his points:
1. (Almost) nobody will read your book.
2. You won't find your book at the front table of Borders.
3. Most book marketing today is done by authors, not by publishers.
4. You won't make much money.

Tiger Woods and Mark Sanford: A Surprising Contrast
I generally try to ignore celebrity news stories out of the conviction that a man's athletic or acting abilities, while perhaps entertaining, are only so important. But the recent Tiger Woods announcement surprised me, and coming in the same week as Gov. Mark Sanford (R-SC)'s wife filing for divorce, provides an interesting contrast.
I am not referring to the revelations of Mr. Woods' infidelity. While disappointing, that was not entirely surprising. We live in a day when fidelity in marriage, particularly for high-profile men with a large fan base, a significant travel schedule, and a vast amount of discretionary income, cannot be assumed. What was surprising was his decision to take an indefinite leave from golf to "focus [his] attention on being a better husband, father, and person." One story I read said that Woods promised his wife that he'd do "anything" to save their marriage, and an indefinite leave from the PGA was one of the things on her list. If that's true, I commend Mr. Woods from putting his marriage ahead of his career, fame, and millions of dollars (once his sponsors reduce, if not entirely remove, their association with him).
I couldn't help but wonder if Gov. Sanford, whose indiscretions were apparently far less severe than those of Mr. Woods, would have saved his marriage had he resigned as Governor, as many called for in the wake of his infidelity, and turned his full attention to his wife and four sons. Consider the contrast:
Woods is 33 and (at 14 majors) is well on his way to beating Jack Nicklaus' record of 18. His children are too young to understand what transpired. His marriage is only five years old. Should he and Elin split, many would not consider it astonishing. His professional life would likely have remained strong (perhaps after a short, bumpy ride as the divorce settlement details dominated the tabloids). But no doubt winning additional majors and breaking Nicklaus' record would have secured renewed adulation, revitalized corporate sponsor relationships, and a slew of prospective mates.
Sanford will turn 50 next year, the same year in which term limits will disallow him to once again run for governor. With the revelation of his affair, his viability for the GOP presidential nomination in 2012 was shot, regardless of whether he finished his current term in office. So while Woods is still rising in his profession, Sanford is clearly on the decline, even if he were to escape (as it appears he has) impeachment. And unlike Woods, Sandford has four sons, all of whom appear old enough to understand the horror of infidelity (some are already in their teens). Sanford has been married for 20 years, presumably to a woman with whom he has a strong and abiding connection -- they've not only raised a family together, she's run his campaigns for Congress and Governor. So at the tail end of a successful political career spanning 15 years, with no higher office left to viably seek, in an industry (politics) where character/morality matter to constituents a lot more than in athletics, with people from all over the country calling on him to resign (including high ranking members of his own party), it would have been widely and readily understood if Sanford were to have resigned to focus on his wife and sons.
The contrast is even more astonishing in light of Sanford's profession of evangelical Christian faith, not to mention the fact that Sanford, unlike Woods, probably did not have a prenuptial agreement in place. Who should have a higher view of marriage, Sanford or Woods? Yet Sanford stubbornly stayed in office (narrowly avoiding forced removal by impeachment) and lost his marriage. And Woods elected to take an indefinite break from golf, with the possible outcome of a saved marriage.
At least I hope so. Woods made the courageous and right move. I pray that it will be accompanied by a realization that he (like the rest of us) desperately needs a merciful Savior and Substitute before the throne of the true and righteous Judge, with whom he has an unavoidable appointment. Because not only have his wife and the media caught up with him, of greater consequence is that his sin has found him out.

A Website For "ARCing"
"ARCing" is a method for tracing the argument of a passage in Scripture. It has its origins in Daniel P. Fuller, a professor at Fuller Seminary, and John Piper (who studied with Dr. Fuller). Dr. Tom Schreiner has written a very helpful book that explains both diagramming and ARCing called Interpreting the Pauline Epistles (Guides to New Testament Exegesis)
Now there is a nifty website dedicated to ARCing. Registration is $10/year or whatever you can afford. Here's a short video of John Piper explaining what ARCing is and why it is helpful:

David Sitton's Niece Murdered on Thanksgiving
Back in September I interviewed David Sitton, the President of To Every Tribe Ministries, a frontier missions organization which has been planting churches among unreached people groups of Papua New Guinea and Mexico. David was getting ready to run a Conference entitled The Privilege of Suffering: Jesus is Worth It.
This past Thanksgiving the Lord saw fit to bring David a tremendous dose of suffering: his six-year-old niece, Makayla Sitton, was among four people inexplicably murdered by Paul Michael Merhige, a 35-year old man who also fatally shot his twin sisters Carla and Lisa Merhige, 33, and his aunt Raymonde Joseph, 76. It is unclear as to what immediately precipitated the killings. Merhige was a cousin of Sitton. Her parents, Jim and Muriel Sitton, were strong Christians involved at Calvary Chapel Palm City, were Larry Sarver serves as senior pastor. Regarding Makayla, Sarver said:
“She was not your typical 6-year-old. You always hear in a tragedy like this how special the person is, but in her case it’s not hyperbole. I’ve been in ministry 18 years and never met somebody this young who was this spiritually mature. Never.”
Here's a short video in which Jim Sitton gives us a great example of grieving with hope:
Here's a quote from a TC Palm report:
David Sitton of Texas, Jim Sitton’s brother, told the crowd that “Makayla has taken her place among the martyrs for Christ. On Thanksgiving night, God did not abandon Makayla or our family. The very last eyes she saw were the eyes of her earthly father as he put her to bed, and when she woke up, she looked into the eyes of Jesus. As a family, we choose to say, ‘Blessed be the name of the Lord.’”May God's fame be spread by her death.
Unfortunately, the killer Paul Merhige remains at large, and is considered to be armed and dangerous, according to the U.S. Marshals.
Numerous reports have been written about Makayla's legacy, including one from TC Palm and The Palm Beach Post.
UPDATE: The killer was apprehended in Florida on January 2, 2010.

Best Book on the Nature of Church Ministry
A new book from Matthias Media USA, written by Colin Marshall and Tony Payne, is being called "The best book I've read on the nature of church ministry" by Mark Dever. The book is on sale for the next 48-hours from Westminster Bookstore for $9.99 (after that it will be available for $19.99). The offer expires at 3 PM (EST) on Thursday, December 10th.
The quote above is not all that Dever (and others) are saying:
"What Col and Tony have described here is exactly what I've been trying to do in my own life and in our congregation for years. According to this book, Christians are to be disciple-making disciples and pastors are to be trainers. Superb! This book sets out a crucial shift that is needed in the mindset of many pastors. The authors have carefully listened to the Bible. And they've worked on this book. The result is a book that is well-written and well-illustrated, but even more, a book that is full of biblical wisdom and practical advice. This is the best book I've read on the nature of church ministry. "
- Mark Dever, Senior Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington DC, USA
"This is a simple, beautiful book that I plan to have every pastor and elder at The Village Church read. It quietly and calmly beckons us back to biblical, hands-on shepherding and is a book desperately needed among large churches in the West."
- Matt Chandler, Lead Pastor, The Village Church, Dallas
"God makes ministers in the midst of his church. It is in the context of the faithful local church that ministers are best taught, shaped and equipped. The Trellis and the Vine is a superb guide to preparing pastors and ministers for Christ's church. It comes from a ministry so deeply committed to the recovery of biblical truth and the cause of the gospel. The wisdom in this little book is invaluable. My advice: Keep a good stack on hand at all times, and put this book to good use. "
- R. Albert Mohler, Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky, USA
"There is no need greater (in the happy resurgence of robust, gospel- centred churches in the English-speaking world) than for us to think biblically and wisely about how we live and minister together in our congregations. All manner of folk are offering us their opinions as to how we ought to do this in this reforming era (in which some, if not many, rightly see the weaknesses of the ministry and methodology of the last fifty years, but whose prescriptions for remedy fall short of the standards of Scripture and wisdom). Yes, let's rethink what we are to do and be together as the church, but let's do it biblically, and with the wisdom of biblical discernment and pastoral experience. So I announce with joy that I have new conversation partners as I am asking myself, under the authority of God and Scripture, questions about the structure and ministry of my congregation: "Why are we doing what we are doing? Are we focusing on the right things? Is the gospel central? Are we making disciples? Has 'administry' trumped ministry? Is our corporate life and mission biblically shaped?" And more. As I ask these things, I am so deeply helped and heartened and humbled and corrected by the fidelity and wisdom of Colin Marshall and Tony Payne's profound little book that I can't but commend it to you. "

U.S. Supreme Court To Rule on Christian Campus Group
Peter Schmidt, writing for the Chronicle of Higher Education, reports:
The U.S. Supreme Court announced today that it had agreed to decide whether a California law school can legally deny recognition to a Christian students' group because it bars gay and lesbian members for religious reasons.The Christian organization is the Christian Legal Society (CLS) and the campus is the University of California Hastings School of Law in San Francisco, CA. The CLS has a very basic statement of Christian faith, which is complemented by a Board of Directors Resolution on the Statement of Faith and Sexual Morality Standards (available on-line to members only). Their press release today notes that the Hastings College of Law in San Francisco refused to recognize them because CLS "requires all of its officers and voting members to subscribe to its basic Christian beliefs"--which includes a prohibition on extramarital sex.
I believe this case has far-reaching implications for Christian organizations on secular campuses nationwide:
Gregory S. Baylor, a laywer for the Alliance Defense Fund, a Christian legal-advocacy group assisting the legal society in the case, said, "It's completely unreasonable—and unconstitutional—for a public university to disrupt the purposes of private student groups by forcing them to accept as members and officers those who oppose the very ideas they advocate."Read the whole thing.On the other side of the dispute, Ethan P. Schulman, a lawyer representing the law school, said the bottom-line question posed by the case "is whether public universities and law schools have a constitutional obligation to subsidize discriminatory organizations on campus." He added: "The Christian Legal Society is seeking a ruling that would treat religious groups differently than all other student groups by exempting them from nondiscrimination and open-membership policies."
It seems obvious to me that a religious organization would discriminate on the basis of religion -- would only a Christian group do that? Wouldn't a Muslim group or a Jewish group presumably do the same? Should the Christian Legal Society lose this Supreme Court ruling, it could set in motion a domino effect whereby other secular universities join the Hastings College of Law in "pushing out" and marginalizing Christian or other religious groups who do not toe the politically correct line.

D.A. Carson: Counsel To A Church Planter on Marriage
The following post was first an email to a young church planter seeking counsel. He is planting a church in a rough area. Not a few of those who are getting converted have been living together, sometimes with children, sometimes for years, without getting married. His question, then, is what should be said to these couples where one of the pair gets converted, and the other, so far, does not. Should the advice be to get married? Or is that encouraging people to be unequally yoked?Read Dr. Carson's thoughtful reply.

Introverts In The Church: Adam McHugh
Sean Michael Lucas reviews an interesting new book called Introverts in the Church: Finding Our Place in an Extroverted Culture
In brief compass, McHugh surveys a great deal of the literature on introversion and helpful summaries a great deal about introverted personality types and how they engage in an extroverted culture. As I read this book, I kept telling my wife, "Wow, you should read this--you'd finally understand me!" It was a helpful, fast-paced, narrative of the characteristics of introversion.Some endorsements:McHugh also helpful distinguishes introversion (a personalty type) from shyness or social anxiety. Introverts tend to go through a cycle of engagement and retreat; we move toward people in relationship, but then back away to recharge in order to reengage again. Social anxiety or shyness retreats out of fear and intimidation and moves toward becoming a "loner" in which he or she refuses to engage the other. While introverts have the temptation of becoming loners, they must force themselves to "stretch" out toward others--God made us to be in relationship and so we must engage others even when we would prefer not to do so.
"As a fellow introvert, I well know the tension, irony and even contradiction of being in vocational ministry where public speaking and being with people are major and vital parts of our roles. This book puts together extremely helpful thinking to better understand who we are and how to navigate and celebrate being introverted and in leadership in an extroverted world."
--Dan Kimball, author of They Like Jesus but Not the Church
"As an introvert who has experienced both the strengths and weaknesses of my temperament, I appreciate the way McHugh goes well beyond the facile stereotypes and conclusions of armchair psychologists. If you've ever felt vaguely sinful for not being a gregarious Christian I suggest you spend some quality time alone with a copy of Introverts in the Church."
--Don Everts, minister of outreach, Bonhomme Presbyterian Church, Chesterfield, Missouri, and author of I Once Was Lost
"Introverts, take heart! As an introvert myself--an off-the-chart 'I' on the Myers-Briggs--I find certain aspects of church life, like speaking to other human beings every Sunday, really taxing. McHugh thoughtfully explores the gifts introverts bring to the church, and he considers both how introverts can live well in the church and how churches can be more hospitable to us."

How To Be A Baby - Sally-Lloyd Jones
Today my wife cried while reading this beautifully moving and wonderfully illustrated children's story to our two-year old son. This is the same Sally Lloyd Jones who authored The Jesus Storybook Bible, which has just been made available as a deluxe edition (a hardcover book, accompanied by three CD's containing the unabridged narrative, read by award-winning actor David Suchet). About this great book, Tim Keller writes:
"I would urge not just families with young children to get this book, but every Christian--from pew warmers, to ministry leaders, seminarians and even theologians! Sally Lloyd-Jones has captured the heart of what it means to find Christ in all the scriptures, and has made clear even to little children that all God's revelation has been about Jesus from the beginning--a truth not all that commonly recognized even among the very learned."

Dylan Phifer: An "Accomplished" Twelve-Year Old
In Do Hard Things, Alex and Brett Harris tell of a young lad named David (born in 1801), who at the age of 10 began a career at sea, serving as a naval cadet on the warship Essex. At the age of 12, David was given command of a ship. In a bygone day, other lads and lasses of David's age had highly developed skills -- skills useful for running businesses, providing medical relief to the sick, or overseeing large plantations. (George Washington was appointed as the first Surveyor of Culpeper County, Virginia at the age of 17.)
Today, we celebrate 12-year old Dylan Phifer, who scored 1,019,000 points in "Guitar Hero" (a video game), apparently breaking a world record. Sadly, Dylan, like so many others his age, is undoubtedly stunting his intellectual abilities and wasting his uncommon determination and ambition.

Tim Keller Profile in New York Magazine
A balanced four-page spread on Tim Keller, his background prior to planting Redeemer Presbyterian Church, and the theology that drives his ministry and his new book, Counterfeit Gods: The Empty Promises of Money, Sex, and Power, and the Only Hope that Matters.
Incidentally, I've completed this book and found it to be outstanding. Each chapter takes a look at a particular counterfeit god, and (in most if not all the chapters) traces out how a particular biblical character did battle with that god, all the while making parallels to modern men and women, current events (like the economic meltdown), and how Christ and the gospel are the solution. A winsome read for Christians and non-Christians alike.

Stop Insuring Mortgages
John Stossel summarizes my concerns with purchasing a home these days: continued government intervention preventing the market from truly (that is, freely) functioning. An excerpt:
After all that, it's crazy that government still subsidizes housing rather than letting the market work. The economy will recover from recession only when it is allowed to discover the real value of assets like houses. But the government refuses to allow this to happen. FHA has been blowing air into another bubble, while other agencies do everything they can to boost prices.....Why won't the government let housing prices seek their own level? After a Washington-inflated bubble, that would seem to be the wise thing to do. Sure, some people get hurt when prices fall, but others -- prospective home-buyers -- are helped. By artificially raising prices, the Realtor-Construction-Banking-Big Government Complex cheats honest low-income people who would otherwise have been able to afford a first home without begging the government for help.Read the whole thing.

Blog was "Dark": Thanksgiving Travels and Possibly Moving
Just a brief note on why this blog was "dark" for awhile. First, we traveled to northern CA to be with my wife's family for Thanksgiving. Then, we returned to find out that a short-sale offer we made on a home was conditionally accepted, but there are a bunch of complications, including the fact that the listing agent on the home would like us to rent the home prior to consummating the purchase (which is subject to the bank's approval). This has led to a scurry of activity. But I'm (mostly!) back now....
