Minneapolis Conference


Next Friday to Sunday (9.29.06 - 10.1.06) I'm going to this conference with a bunch of folks from church. It's going to be straight up off the hook.

i-tunes has the videos from the conferece already posted. you'll get to hear Tim Keller, Mark Driscoll, and David Wells say "missional," "culture," "incarnational," and "post-modern" many, many times.

all joking aside, i watched almost all the videos, and it looks great. i am jealous. i'll be parsing aramaic and hebrew verbs.

I'm afraid that I might not hear much new at the conference ... but I guess that's the point ... I'm planning to wear my missional clothing and my postmodern glasses ... I may also speak in an incarnational Minnesotan way - don't cha' know about Jesus, eh?

During the breaks I plan on visiting the filming site from the movie Fargo. Maybe Krammer has a tour bus or something.

David Wells is speaking? And I thought he was merely a fat baseball pitcher.

So Burly, it appears that you have gone all reformed on me. Never fear, I am currently listening to Pipers 10-week class on TULIP. It actually surprises me how much I agree with him, but there are some divergences. But I digress. I enjoyed perusing the blog, and hope to make more trips back in the future. Always said that you are a funny guy.

The pastor from your church preached at the funeral of Ray Obrien, and I thought he did a really good job. (I had forgotten that you and Kari had gone to the same church).

Well, enough random musings. Good luck on your 5K.

marshall ... quick response to your comment:

1.) you've earned a place in my links -- but you can't earn your salvation.
2.) David Chung (see links) has an excellent post on Ray O'Brien. Heaven has gained a fine man. I'm glad you made it to his funeral.
3.) I've liked the TULIP since high school. Grace Church is a reformed/charismatic church. No longer a strange blend ...
I've grown to love more but not less than the tulip. I enjoy bouquets rather than just a singular TULIP (read: I've grown to see that TULIP is inadeqate on it's own ... but with other doctrines alongside is beautiful ... I think that systmatic theology is good ... but doesn't substitute for reading passages that don't fit neatly into the TULIP) ... for those who haven't a clue what I'm talking about read the Bible and take a flower arrangement class.
