        <summary>Free MP3s from Northbrook Baptist Church: Embracing God's definition of femininity is a radical choice. Have you considered how feminist ideals have affected your perception of the role of women? At the Fall 2009 Northbrook Conference for Women, we considered popular ideas of women in the home, workplace, church, and culture, and how these ideas compare to God's wise and gracious design for women. Our speaker, Carolyn McCulley, is a former feminist who now accepts the biblical distinctions between men and women. During Friday night and Saturday sessions, she presented material from her recent book - Radical Womanhood: Feminine Faith in a Feminist World. She describes it as the book she wishes someone had given her when she was a new Christian seeking to understand the Bible's teachings about womanhood, sexuality, marriage, family, and children. In an engaging manner, Carolyn presented an insightful overview of the "three waves of feminism," exploring how feminism has attacked the institutions of marriage and the family and has influenced both contemporary society and the church. In contrast, she set out the pro-woman message of the Bible and the hope of the Gospel found in Jesus. Women of all ages and all seasons of life were challenged as Carolyn encouraged them to confront feminist ideology by being radical women and living by God's design.

These are gifted people and we benefit from their example, leadership, and service each Sunday in our local churches. But as much as I appreciate what they do, I told them the following: What you do each Sunday is important, but it’s not most important. Musical worship is inspiring, informative, and a wonderful privilege, but there is nothing more central to Christian worship than the preaching of God’s Word. Notice I did not say preaching is a great and necessary follow-up to worship, or that preaching is an optional extra in worship. Preaching is central to worship each Sunday.... ...Why? Why so much preaching? Why all this talking? Because the primary way we encounter God in worship is through the preaching of the Word of God. Think about it this way. Normally, in what we call “worship,” we spend significant time—perhaps the whole time—addressing God, singing to him, praising him, extolling him, praying to him. Wonderful! But in preaching we are no longer addressing God; he is addressing us. Nothing is more important than this moment. And this is why the most important worship leader in your church is your pastor.

So many recent events, particularly economic ones, have reminded us that much of this life and this world is fragile, temporary and changing. We’ve heard so many statistics about mortgage payments defaults and unemployment - but these aren’t just facts and figures - this is real people’s lives.

With an investment, with a plan, with renewed energy, it will be great for America and the region. We won't be able to save all of the small towns, but saving a number of them will be good for the country as a whole.</p></blockquote>

        <summary>by Justin Holcomb , Academic Dean of Re:Train Why did Martin Luther nail his famous 95 Theses to the Wittenberg church door on October 31, 1517? He was confronting two religious observances that promoted false saintliness and exploited people’s fear of judgment and purgatory. There’s a curious connection between Halloween and Reformation Day, and it’s more than just proximity on the calendar. Halloween Halloween (October 31) is celebrated by millions each year with costumes and candy. Halloween's deepest roots are decidedly pagan, despite its Christianized name. Its origin is Celtic and has to do with summer sacrifices to appease Samhain, the lord of death, and evil spirits. Those doing the pagan rituals believed that Samhain sent evil spirits abroad to attack humans, who could escape only by assuming disguises and looking like evil spirits themselves. Christians tried to confront these pagan rites by offering a Christian alternative (All Hallows’ Day) that celebrated the lives of faithful Christian saints on November 1. In medieval England the festival was known as All Hallows, hence the name Halloween (All Hallows' eve) for the preceding evening. All Saints' Day All Hallows' Day or All Saints' Day (November 1) was first celebrated on May 13, 609, when Pope Boniface IV dedicated the Pantheon in Rome to the Virgin Mary. The date was later changed to November 1 by Pope Gregory III, who dedicated a chapel in honor of all saints in the Vatican Basilica.

<p><strong>Halloween</strong> (October 31) is celebrated by millions each year with costumes and candy. Halloween's deepest roots are decidedly pagan, despite its Christianized name.

<p><strong>All Hallows' Day</strong> or <strong>All Saints' Day</strong> (November 1) was first celebrated on May 13, 609, when Pope Boniface IV dedicated the Pantheon in Rome to <a href="http://theresurgence.com/Vintage_Saints_Mary_Part_1" jquery1256911725511="20"><font color="#0066cc">the Virgin Mary</font></a>. The date was later changed to November 1 by Pope Gregory III, who dedicated a chapel in honor of all saints in the Vatican Basilica. In 837, Pope Gregory IV (827-844) ordered its church-wide observance. Its origin lies earlier in the common commemorations of Christian martyrs. Over time these celebrations came to include not only the martyrs, but all saints. During the Reformation the Protestant churches came to understand “saints” in its New Testament usage as including all believers and reinterpreted the feast of All Saints as a celebration of the unity of the entire Church. </p>
<p><span><strong>All Souls' Day</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>All Souls' Day</strong> or the <strong>Day of the Dead</strong> is normally celebrated, primarily by Roman Catholics, on November 2. This is a day dedicated to prayer and almsgiving in memory of ancestors who have died. People pray for the souls of the dead, in an effort to hasten their transition from purgatory to heaven by being purged and cleansed from their sins.</p>
<p><span><strong>Reformation Day</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Reformation Day</strong> (October 31) commemorates Luther's posting of his 95 Theses on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany on October 31, 1517. This act triggered the Reformation, as they were immediately translated and distributed across Germany in a matter of weeks. The Protestant Reformation was the rediscovery of the doctrine of <a href="http://theresurgence.com/justification_recommended_books" jquery1256911725511="21"><font color="#0066cc">justification</font></a>—salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone—and the protest against the corruption within the Roman Catholic Church.</p>
<p>The century before the Reformation was marked by widespread dismay with the venality of the leaders in the Roman Catholic Church and with its false doctrines, biblical illiteracy, superstition, and corruption. Monks, priests, bishops, and popes in Rome taught unbiblical doctrines like the selling of indulgences, the treasury of merit, purgatory, and salvation through good works. </p>
<p><span><strong>Treasury of Merit</strong></span></p>
<p>Spiritually earnest people were told to justify themselves by charitable works, pilgrimages, and all kinds of religious performances and devotions. They were encouraged to acquire this “merit,” which was at the disposal of the church, by purchasing certificates of indulgence. This left them wondering if they had done or paid enough to appease God's righteous anger and escape his judgment. </p>
<p>This was the context that prompted Luther’s desire to refocus the church on salvation by grace through faith on account of Christ by imputation of Christ’s righteousness to us. To those spiritually oppressed by indulgences and not given assurance of God’s grace, Luther proclaimed free grace to God’s true saints: </p>
<ul>
<p>God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite (Luther W.A. 1.183ff).</p></ul>
<p>Instead of the treasury of merit that was for sale, Luther protested, “The true treasure of the Church is the Most Holy Gospel of the glory and the grace of God” (<a href="http://www.iclnet.org/pub/resources/text/wittenberg/luther/web/ninetyfive.html#95-62" jquery1256911725511="22"><font color="#0066cc">Thesis 62</font></a>).</p>
<p><em>In celebration of Reformation Day, you should seriously read all <a href="http://www.iclnet.org/pub/resources/text/wittenberg/luther/web/ninetyfive.html" jquery1256911725511="23"><font color="#0066cc">95 Theses</font></a>—they're really good.</em></p>

        <summary>From Rachael Smith at The Reflector at Mississippi State University: Worship leader Charlie Hall has rocked the worship music industry with a diverse array of songs, lyrically and musically. With over five released albums, including his latest The Bright Sadness, his wide-ranging music has reached a vast group of people. Hall said he got involved with the Passion movement when Louie Giglio, the visionary and founder of the project, called after hearing some of Hall's music. "Louie had a vision and the music fit the vision, which was glorifying God's name," Hall said. The University Tour will keep Hall's band on the road for two weeks as they lead worship at schools from Mississippi to Virginia. He said it does not become routine or monotonous because what he is doing, not the lyrics, is his worship and offering to God. "For me, the people change each night and you know that each night is a new moment with God," he said. "My focus is being in the moment with God and with the people." Hall said it is exciting and an honor to worship with college students. "I think the greatest thing about that time of your life is you're really starting to find yourself, what you are and what you're after. People are leaving their homes and they have to decide for themselves what they're running after," he said. In his college years, he was already traveling and playing music.

<p>Getting his start "goofing off" with instruments and songwriting around 14 years old, Hall said when he was 17, God made an impact on him and his music.</p>
<p>"I didn't set out to be a Christian musician. God grabbed my heart and changed my music as He changed me," he said. "As I discovered music and Jesus, I wanted to help the people around me reach the same goal."</p>
<p>With the knowledge Starkville is a small-town, Charlie said it is the people and what God can do with MSU that has him excited. He said he is looking forward to being in the moment with God and people.</p>
<p>"You guys are what I'm excited for," he said. "I'm excited for this tour - to be with you guys and spend time with you in Starkville. We're excited to open our hearts and let God and music and vision swirl around."</p>

<p>I'm surprised each year by the amount of concern and attention given to whether Christians should participate in Halloween, especially when the same amount of concern and attention isn't given to issues at least of equal weight and what I think have more weight.  Many Christians delve into the details of the history of Halloween in a sincere effort to try to make a good decision about what's pleasing to God; I just don't see the same time and attention given to studying the details of central Christian beliefs like the Trinity or justification, or the Apostles and Nicene Creed.  I dare say that many of the Christians who decide they cannot participate in Halloween, have never taken note of the fact that October 31 is also Reformation Day - and none of us Protestants would be here enjoying the grace of God as we do if it weren't for that day.  Even churches that decide to opt out of Halloween or opt in for Harvest Festivals take little notice of Reformation Day, which restored the Gospel message that we treasure...</p>

<p>...I'm not talking about the decision Christians make about what to do about Halloween.  That's a matter of conscience each has to make.  I'm talking about the inordinate energy, attention, thought, and focus spent on what to do about Halloween and the polar opposite apathy about theology, doctrine, church history.</p>
<p>It's fair to be concerned and think carefully about how we participate in the culture and Halloween.  It's important to evaluate how cultural practices influence us.  It's essential to use wisdom and discernment how we participate in Halloween, if we do.  It's, obviously, a duty to avoid any occultic involvement.  What I'm talking about is the level of energy and attention given to it and the contrasting lack of it given to arguable more central issues of Christianity.  Christians can be shocked that another Christian will go trick or treating, but not blink an eye of awareness or concern when another Christian distorts the doctrine of the Trinity.</p>
<p>I'm not sure what this inordinate worry over Halloween and apathy about doctrine says about contemporary Christians, but I think it says something - and it's not good.  One friend's theory is the inordinate emphasis in modern Christianity on application and therapeutic teaching to the near exclusion of theology and Bible study (not just Bible reading).  That sounds like a pretty good theory to me.</p></blockquote>
