Overheard.....

As yo might recall, overheard is basically a round up of ideas, links, pages and such that I want to put up in one section. So here's what I've overheard

1. Gay rights, outreach and discussion
Ever since prop 8 passed on Tuesday many people have been talking. A few have responded in ways I'm not completely in agreement with, but must think about anyway. Like my friend Jonathan has on his page. The guys over at Biblical Thought have their own thoughts as well. If you'd like to be a part of a longer dialogue on this, you can go to my New Reformation Page, and contribute to the forums. (Oh and feel free to join too!)

2. The election. We've voted, and many of us aren't happy with the results. However, I ahve seen my fellow conservative friends lose graciously. And they have offered some great advice. Triablogue has some helpful ideas.. James White has a video tht we should ALL WACTCH. Dare I say that it is prophetic? Here it is.



3. The John 3:16 conference. As a future member of the Southern Baptist Conference, I will be watching this with some interest. Calvinism has begun to grow again in the SBC and while some people react greatly, there are those who have responded to it. I personally believe it's fear and misunderstanding. Here are some peopel who are following the story. Timmy Brister writes a great review of the events. Justin Taylor also has some important things to say. Tim Challies has a friend there live blogging as well. Check it out, it's about 8 posts in all.

Overheard....

This is a new forum. I've been thinking about it as of late. I wanted to put down thoughts that have been on my mind as well as things I've overheard. I had some real gems a week ago. I should have written them down because I don't think I remembered them all! Anyway here we go:

-Frank's totally an outside-the-box person, for someone who's never been in the box-a former boss of mine (not sure if that was a compliment of an insult).
-You need to minister somewhere close to where you live. You can't impact a community if you live far away-many people especially Glenn Leatherman.
-I've heard brides say,"I take you to be my wife". From Dr. Bob backstage before Nathan's wedding (Beckster's husband).
-I don't think this word means what you think it means-Quoted from Princess Bride by Lorikate on her blog.
-He has an advanced computer: it can read your mind-same former boss talking about the G5
-Your people will be my people, I will go where you will go and where you die I will die-Becky and Nate's wedding vows (a snippet-they were long!!!) They were quoting the book of Ruth. Cool!
-The left only wants to embarrass not teach-Dennis Prager on Gov. Palin's interview with Charles Gibson. (I agree he was there to embarrass her, not to really dialoge-see previous post)
-Vote for Prop. 8 in California and defend marriage.
-E.J. Young, Gleason Archer, Meredith Kline and John C Collins (of Covenant Seminary) are 4 Reformed OT scholars who have differing views of the Days of Genesis. Collins has a new book out about that that I'm interested in. Just throwing it out there.
