Tim Keller at UC Berkeley

Hey Everyone-

Tim Keller has written a very important book for those who minister in nonChristian or postChristian cultures. He did a long lecture and Q & A at UC Berkeley.

Some genius stuff here. Now, I don't agree with everything Dr. Keller says. But his wisdom and approach are unique and important.
Enjoy it.

Lunchtime Lecture at Golden Gate Seminary

Hey Everyone,

I had the privilege of giving a lunchtime lecture on the Cost of Discipleship at Golden Gate Theological Seminary (Southern Baptist) yesterday.

I figured that I would post it online and let folks be edified by it as the Lord sees fit.

New Church Planting Articles - Lots Happening

Hey Everyone-

It's been 2 months since I posted last. I know, I'm a bad blogger.

The Lord is doing amazing things here in Mill Valley. We had 100 adults in church on Sunday. We then had a baptism and BBQ and folks were baptized and we did a lot of eating.

I just posted 2 new articles on tbe church planting website.

I'll write more soon.

God bless and much love
Daniel
