Elvis is dead, but Billy Graham is not

Okay, in my message this week at the 11:15 service I made mention of the "late" Billy Graham. Strangely, at the previous two worship services (Saturday night and Sunday morning) I never said anything like that. Why I suddenly couldn't remember if Billy Graham was actually still with us, I really don't know! I think I just panicked... Sorry. I am grateful for those who gently pointed out my error. For the rest, you'll be glad to know I have carefully researched the matter and Billy Graham is very much still alive.

For those who were interested in the John Piper quote. It comes from his book Hunger for God (Crossway, 1997) pp. 14-15. I have not read the book, but apparently you can download it here. I think I might just have to check it out!

A book I have recently finished which is worth your time is Darrell Guder's Missional Church. The book is ten years old and was among those I've thought I should read "someday." I'm sorry I waited. "Missional" is all the buzz these days. Missional Church is the work that got everyone thinking.
