How Mutliperspectivalism shapes Church L...
Earlier I posted about how everything must look through normative, situation and existential perspectives. As John Frame wrote, “The knowledge of God’s law, the world, and the self are interdependent and ultimately identical” (The Doctrine of Knowledge of God, Prebyterian and Reformed 1987, p.89). Further,...
(Tri) MultiPerspectival Preaching...
The Reformissionary had a post pointing to Keller’s writings on Informational vs Experiential Preaching, which brings up a great illustration of how to apply multiperspectivalism in preaching. Here is the quote: The “informational” view of preaching conceives of preaching as changing...
How Multi-perspectivalism and Tri-Perspe...
In many circles there is a greatly increased buzz about multiperspectivalism. Conversations stemmed from fellow Acts 29 pastors, Dick Kaufman, David Fairchild, amongst others. This is a worldview influenced by John Frame’s tri-perspectivalism. John writes: “The knowledge of God’s...
Free Bibles...
A member at my church (Kaleo Church) runs a non-profit called FreeBibles.net which sends (you guessed it) free bibles anywhere in the world to people who need them. I'd love it if you could help them get Bibles into people's hands who cannot afford or are unable to purchase them. Here's...

Lent 2.0...
Want to give up something for lent? Here are some ways people are e-fasting: Googlefasting Giving up getting acquired by Google or Yahoo for 40 days (this one seems a little suspicious) I’m going to give up commenting.
Are we speaking the same language?...
It’s always amusing when word games are played by different organizations. Do you remember when every ‘USED‘ car lot in the country became a ‘Pre-Owned‘ car lot? Same product but now it seems they have a new snazzier product. I got a reminder of this game recently when...

Luke Shiras has compiled a great resource of places for people to volunteer and serve in San Diego.
Total Truth: Liberating Christianity fro...
A book I’m purchasing from Amazon, Total Truth: Liberating Christianity from Its Cultural Captivity. As a religiously adrift young adult in the 1960s, Pearcey found her way to the Swiss retreat, and the intellectually rigorous faith, of the Calvinist maverick Francis Schaeffer. This book continues...
Unceasing Worship: Biblical Perspectives...
Unceasing Worship: Biblical Perspectives on Worship and the Arts is another book I’m picking up. Too often Christians have only thought of worship in terms of particular musical styles or liturgical formats. But a proper view of worship is far larger than what takes place in churches on Sunday...
New Sermon Series on Galatians...
Kaleo is about to begin the book of Galatians for our next sermon series. Many consider Martin Luther’s Commentary on Galatians as the one of the best (if not the best commentary). John Bunyan said this was the book that he would give up last save for his Bible. This classic commentary on Galations...
