Under the Sun: September 2014

Welcome!

This blog grows out of my conviction that every aspect of our lives is sacred and is to be nurtured and celebrated as a good gift of God. Most of the posts will be the sorts of things you would expect from a historian and worldview teacher, but some are likely to be a bit surprising. Since God created all things good, including all aspects of human life, everything is interesting and important from the perspective of a biblical worldview. Everything under the Sun and under Heaven is thus fair game here. I hope you find it interesting and enjoyable.

Every Square Inch Ministries

For some time, I have been considering starting a nonprofit corporation to help support my ministry travel and expenses. Given the opportunities that are on the horizon, I decided it's time to start the process. Every Square Inch Ministries is now recognized by the State of Connecticut as a nonprofit corporation. Its purpose is to help me provide resources through research, writing, and teaching to support churches, Christian organizations, and religious institutions around the world. We are not officially a charitable organization yet, but once we complete a few other pieces of paperwork for the state, we will be applying for 501(c)3 status with the IRS, which will enable us to receive tax deductible gifts. This will make raising support for missions work and travel for research much easier. Stay tuned for further developments, and check out the resources on the website!

Getting the Gospel Right

My newest article at the Colson Center is on Obedience Based Discipleship. Most of what passes for evangelism isn't actually preaching the Gospel, especially not the Gospel Jesus preached and told us to preach. See why in this article.
