I came across this video on The Gospel Coalition blog today, and it fits well with where we are in the “Questioning Your Salvation?” series. We’ve already talked about how many Christians believe they are saved simple because they said a prayer, which I believe to be the case because of a misunderstanding of our sin nature. Then we discussed the real, Biblical effects of sin.

In light of my recent post on dealing with controversy, I thought this article from Tim Keller was worth sharing.

Controversy is nothing new to Christianity. The Kingdom of God exploded on earth in the midst of a world of controversy. There was controversy between the Jews about whether to try to rebel and overthrow Rome, and fight for their freedom. There was more internal controversy between the Jewish religious leaders about whether there would be a resurrection. Then Jesus enters the picture, and it gets even more controversial.

Kevin DeYoung’s post today ties in well with the Gospel and Politics series we just finished, so I thought I’d share it with you.

A while back, I wrote about Gospel Contextualization as part of the Live Sent series. Today I came across a post on Ed Stetzer’s blog that I thought might be helpful in explaining another aspect of what contextualization means in relation to the gospel.
