A Far Green Country

A powerful portrait painted of Jesus' wrestling in the Garden of Gethsemane & the implications for us. You will not hear many things more powerful than this.

Some of the pictures don't go perfectly, but an Al Mohler covocation message with the Braveheart soundtrack - this you've got to see...or at least hear.

My dad has been keeping me up to date by links on some of the happenings in this years SBC 09 meeting. I think I cried a little when I read what Southeastern Seminary President Danny Akin said:

Great missionaries must be theologians, and truly great theologians will be missionaries.

Now, can we get some of these great theologians to the field? Yesterday? Pronto? Vamos? Put down your commentary...that's it. Shut your laptop - good boy! Ah, ah, ah, stop debating with your buddy on tertiary issues - hey! hey! - put down that latte!! And your iPod fully loaded with Piper...actually, go ahead & bring that & grab the commentary too. That's it . . . come on to the mission field! Give a decade!
