Reformed + Missional = Reformissional
Count me among the bench warmers.
“Despite the increasing variety of programs on the Blu-ray and HD-DVD formats, most US consumers are staying out of the DVD format war. This is a wise decision, the article states, because the two formats are essentially at a stalemate.”

I’ve been saying this for years, but Christianity Today has a good piece up on the fact that there was no inn, and no inn-keeper on that providential day over 2000 years ago.

At Christmas time, Pastor John Piper lets his creative juices flow in the crafting of advent poems that augment the story and experience of Christmas. This year’s series portrays a fictional account of the biblical character of Nicodemus. While the narrative is mythical, the message is filled with truth.
So far, he has only published Nicodemus, Part 1. I’ll post the remaining poems here as they become available.

Okay, at first I thought “no real musician needs this!”
Musicians of the world are getting a new kind of artistic freedom with technology that eliminates the challenging chore of tuning.
But what’s really cool is that you can lock in preset alternate tunings! Okay, this would actually be a nice feature. The bummer is that the technology adds $900 to the price of your new axe! They say the technology would be great for beginners, but I don’t know many beginners who would buy a $2,500 Les Paul in the first place, much less when you add $900 to the sticker.
Maybe the tech will get cheaper with time. In the mediate period, I’ll just stick to using my Kyser short-cut capo for quick alt-tuning options.

I was saving this book for later, but after reading this review, I think I’m going to add it to the top of my list.
Reading like an all-star roster of missional reformed theologians, the table of contents whets the reader’s appetite… [who] one by one address the issue of the Church’s engagement with postmodernism.
You may even find yourself wanting to read some more Mark Driscoll.
The church engaging postmodernism; sounds reformissional to me!
And lest you think I misspelled my blog tagline, it is intended to be “Reformissional Recourse“.
