Just recently I began re-watching a Video Podcast (or Vodcast for the cutting edge tech-geeks out there) put out by Resurgence. By their own proclamation, “Resurgence is a movement that resources multiple generations to live for Jesus so that they can effectively reach their cities with the gospel by staying culturally accessible and biblically faithful.” I would recommend three lectures given by Tim Keller at the Reform and Resurge conference in 2006 entitled “Being the Church in our Culture,” “Preaching the Gospel,” and “Doing Justice.” Tim Keller has a gift of speaking with prophetic clarity about the church’s role in culture today. His ministry and lectures are always Gospel-saturated, challenging the church to rethink the way we preach and do ministry and helping us to remain faithful to Scripture’s focus on the good news proclaimed in Jesus Christ. The Resurgence vodcasts can be seen here, or subscribed to by their iTunes podcast. I would also recommend to you the videos (or audio) from the latest conference put on by Resurgence entitled “Continuous Worship.” I’ve listened to one of the lectures by Harold Best, author of Unceasing Worship and former dean of the Conservatory of Worship at Wheaton College, entitled “Continuous Worship: Jesus the Sole Mediator of Worship and the Helplessness of Music.” The lecture was incredibly convicting. I’ll leave you with Best’s closing comment:
There is a thing called musical gluttony in worship, where we just over-music, too much in the diet and we have this kind of theological cholesterol that clogs the veins through which the blood of true worship should flow and continuous worship with no high point anywhere except as the Holy Spirit chooses to bring it down.
