Interview with Curriculum Author Michael Kelley

Scribe members were recently offered a wonderful opportunity to receive and review a DVD-based small group curriculum published by Threads/LifeWay called The Tough Sayings of Jesus II (Leader Kit).

The Supremacy of Christ in a Postmodern World

In anticipation of a serious dive into DeYoung and Kluck’s Why We’re not Emergent: By Two Guys Who Should Be, I snagged a copy of The Supremacy of Christ in a Postmodern World (editors John Piper and Justin Taylor).

The conference speeches have been complied to form this volume. Read More »
Introduction to Why We’re Not Emergent

Why We’re Not Emergent: By Two Guys Who Should Be is a sturdy but cordial critique of the Emergent Conversation.

I highly recommended it to anyone who wants to take a closer and deeper look at the emergent church movement. Read More »
Share Your Sermons with Google Base
Google is getting faith, it seems. Now you can upload and showcase and share your sermons and writings via Google Base. It is a good thing that Google Base is in Beta because I have not been able to successfully sign into the application as of yet. It’s stuck in a perpetual load sequence.

Modern Parables On Demand Curriculum
My already complimentary opinion of Modern Parables inflated upon reception of the following e-mail notice regarding what the good folk over at Compass Cinema are calling On Demand Curriculum.
Modern Parables films, application videos, and study materials are now available for digital download! We’ve spent the past month developing a new site that will enable our customers to buy our films and related materials one parable at a time. Each downloadable package includes one parable film, one application video, a director’s commentary, and a combined Student Book/Teacher’s Guide on PDF.
This is very, very cool and convenient. Well done Compass Cinema!
