It's almost like the guy who wrote The Lord of the Rings was influenced by some mystical, eternal Truth that hits deeply at the core of human existence.
i don’t want to be dramatic but the lord of the rings movies will genuinely change who you are as a person if you lock in and watch them with the care and attention they deserve.

In college ministry you have 4 yrs MAX with a student. What do you need to impress upon them? . What is true (Scripture). about who Christ has already made them (justification). and who He is making them to be (sanctification).
@gurley_seth What’s the rationale for those three doctrines in particular?.

Today we were told to tell students, "If your choice is between RUF or the church, choose the church.".

Yesterday RUF's new national coordinator stood in front of everyone employed by RUF and said, "We want students to love the church. we serve at the pleasure of the PCA.".

Day 3 of my first RUF Staff Training:. RUF assumes that Christ ordinarily saves sinners and sanctifies saints through the institution of the church. Our job on campus is not to replace the church but to connect students back to it. We have our marching orders!.

Of course, the organ can be beautiful and used for congregational singing. I just can't get on board with the organ only-ist crowd.

No disrespect, but this organ doesn't sound like church. The presence of Christ in the Word, prayer, and sacraments is what makes church what it is. Not the instrument.
@PastorDeberny They don’t prefer organ because they don’t want church to sound like church. It’s the same reason people “don’t prefer” a pastor wearing vestments.

Day 2 of my first RUF Staff Training:. RUF wants pastors who know the Reformed doctrines of (a) Scripture, (b) justification, and (c) sanctification - not just intellectually, but experientially. Our job is to unapologetically apply those truths to students' hearts. Im in.

Day 1 of my first RUF Staff Training in Denver, CO. So far, the overwhelming impression I've gotten is that these people really love Jesus and really want to reach students. I don't know about you, but that's something I can get behind.

For a generation that grew up singing about Stacy's mom, maybe millennials didn't turn out half bad.

I guess the online Orthodox bros are just capitalizing on the Halo generation. Fascinating.
Are you a gamer and also a Gregorian chant's fan?. Well, you don't need to, to listen and appreciate the Halo theme sung a capella in a cathedral. [📹 chanticleersf].

Couterpoint: Its not a Sunday unless you went to church, communed with Christ, tasted eternity, and then rested to the glory of God.
It’s not a Sunday unless you completely waste it and then feel sad around 8pm.

I got a laugh out of it, and I hope you did too. Im not here to argue about prohibition or whether or not women can vote.
