Confession: yes, I am doling out a slew of entries that should have been done a while ago and I wanted to say a few things about these "Homework" posts.
At First Presbyterian (San Diego), where I've been worshiping this past year, a few of us are team-teaching a class using some Tim Keller materials (he's fantastic; pastor at Redeemer Presbyterian in NYC). We wanted to be clear that these aren't just nice things to think about-- when the good news intersects our lives, we change. Our standard practices and procedures change. Sometimes we need a little help with that shift, and we need it to be concrete.
With that conviction, I worked through the lessons and themes of Keller's material and came up with homework assignments for each week's class. I'll dole them out here, for good thinking and prompting of gospel-motivated action in your life, wherever you are. Please realize that the bent of each assignment is geared to flow out of Bible study, discussion and video clips... but I think they stand on their own as well. We'll see, right?! Please offer feedback-- may these challenges be motivation and blessing to live more and more fully in the promises of our Father.
