A few links before Christmas.
Graeme Arthur, our chief techie, has a great post on using Facebook in a godly way. Well done G.. Very thoughtful piece.
Between Two Worlds has a review on The Tale of Desperaux . Anyone seen the movie? What do you think?
Mark Driscoll reflects on his lowest church attendance for years.
Interesting article in The Mail about believing scientists. The quote below from Professor Stuart Burgess of Bristol University will give you a taste:
'The most moving evidence for Christianity I have seen is when a person with a broken life puts their trust in the Lord Jesus and finds healing, peace and purpose.'
According to Professor Burgess, a spacecraft specialist who designed the solar panels of a £1.4 billion satellite: 'This is what the Christmas message is really about.' Exactly.

That video
Driscoll at his controversial best. The video was supposedly dropped at a church planting conference because it was considered too controversial.

Driscoll - A voice that must be heard in our generation?
I'm in danger of contradicting what I said in previous post about celebrity culture and the church.
However, I think we have to recognise that Mark Driscoll has something to say to our generation. It pains me to admit that I have to learn something from someone born in the 70's, but there you have it. I'm sure some of the Pharisees were upset not only by what Jesus said, but by the fact that He was a thirty-something.
Driscoll is certainly a guy who is trying to connect classical orthodox Christianity with his generation. That in itself I find so commendable. Penal substitution and iPods. The two don't always seem to go together, but Driscoll manages to connect them. He has made controversial remarks on controversial subjects, but who hasn't?
What is also very impressive is his candour with denominational leaders, and in fairness their willingness to give him a hearing. He spoke frankly to New Frontiers at their Together On A Mission conference and recently did something similar with the Anglican diocese of Sydney. You can read his points at the Sydney meeting here.
