Dear Al,  Welcome back!  T. T. Eaton used to always say that he could be in two places at once, and that he was working on being in three!!  I wonder if you've inherited his mantle?  (though, not his historical opinions!)

CJ,  outstanding post on sports & your son.  You are so . . . . . . deliberate!

Lig, isn't it getting to be Twin Lakes Fellowship time?  Can you tell us something about that?  We're hoping to send Paul Curtis (9marks editor) to be with you there for a sweet time of fellowship.

I'm working on 2 papers for England next week.  I'm to be at a conference considering the ministry of Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones.  I'm loving reading Lloyd-Jones!  I'm to speak first on MLJ and the church and then the next night on MLJ and "Modern Man" in evangelism.   As I've considered them, in one interesting way they've come together a bit.  Lloyd-Jones, according to Iain Murray, thought that  “. . . evangelism is pre-eminently dependent upon the quality of the Christian life which is known and enjoyed in the church,” (Lloyd-Jones biography, volume I.246).

My conclusion:  good ecclesiology helps good evangelism.

Thoughts?
