(1) Big Gospel: I really appreciated this post by Tullian on the size and centrality of the gospel. (Short version: it’s huge.) As Darrell Bock says when talking about his new book, “I think the church gets what it pays for when it treats the gospel as a momentary transaction.” I’m going to be reviewing this book for TGC and may say more on the topic later.
Tullian picks up some nice comments from Keller, who elsewhere offers creation, cross, and crown as “three biblical perspectives” on the gospel. These two pastors are offering potent, mainstream Reformed thinking here. I’ve ceased to be surprise when I meet young pastors who aren’t well-trained who admit how little they emphasize (say) the resurrection, in favor of talking about the cross and justification repeatedly.
(2) My friend Caleb Sigler has a nice song you can listen to for free, out in advance of his new album. Very nice singer-songwriter pop, way above K-Love grade. Caleb is the Worship Arts Resident at Christ City Church in Midtown.
