I had a great week at Grace Christian School‘s Spiritual Explosion Week.
The topic: Follow.
My Headmaster at Cary Christian School graciously allowed me to go and share with this sister school fighting the good fight and we talked about everything from the problem of Individualism to the Good Life of loving God and loving people.
They are a great group, with great leadership.
I am attaching my PowerPoint slides for those who asked for it. The videos will not embed, but if someone wants those, they can ask.
Also, some asked for some of the books that I mentioned during the sessions. They are:

SysTheo Slide Packs on Why/How we study Theology and Theology Proper: The Nature of God
We have had some GREAT discussions so far and are this day burdened a bit by the Sovereignty of God. I bring us back to Lewis’ statement in Hid book, “Till we have Faces“:
“Holy places are dark places. It is life and strength, not knowledge and words, that we get in them. Holy wisdom is not clear and thin like water, but thick and dark like blood.”
Let’s continue to think and pray and celebrate and worship our richly complex and beautiful God – the only God there is.
See below for the slide packs:

Class is beginning and it is time to Think!
The Desiring God conference 2010 was called “Think: The Life of the Mind and the Love of God.” To begin this year in Apologetics at CCS, we need to be provoked to Think! This is assignment #1. Watch the goals of the conference here and then read the book found here that was born from it.
As an option, you can watch the sermons found here, instead of reading the book. You DO NOT need to watch the panel discussions, interviews or the book presentation. NOTE NUMBER TWO: YOU ONLY HAVE TO WATCH 5 SERMONS – YOU PICK.

Another on an eschatological perspective . . .
28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. 29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified. 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
