We’ve been heading towards a decision over the last few days, a decision that I think most of us have been feeling for the last few weeks. We’ve decided that for various reasons, it’s time to call The proGnosis a day and end the blog…well, not quite yet anyway!
So Long and Thanks for all the Comments!

A Passion for Life Resources
November 10, 2009You’ve probably heard about, “A Passion for Life.” In their own words from their homepage:
A Passion for Life is a nationwide initiative that is drawing together local evangelical churches to plan a fantastic variety of missional initiatives culminating in Easter 2010. Our passion is to see numerous people of all ages and backgrounds in our country reborn to glorify God.
What I want to flag up is some of their video resources on vimeo. There’s (at the time of writing) about 15 apologetics style videos answering such questions as, “How can Christians be so sure what they believe is true?” and “Isn’t Christianity just a psychological crutch?”
Here’s one from the big Don himself, answering the important question, “How can God alow evil and suffering in the world?”
The great thing about Vimeo is you can legitimately download a decent quality version of all the videos to use in any events you might hold. I seriously recommend checking the rest out.

Remember, remember Isaiah 6!
November 8, 2009There are two doctrines that we forget and underplay at our own peril:
1. The Holiness of God
2. The sinfulness of man
When we forget or play down either of these concepts, the cross loses its wonder and glory.
Remind yourself of Isaiah’s experience:

Good Christian tv…
November 5, 2009
I never thought I’d see the day, but it is here. I want to recommend a Christian TV station. Clayton TV is an internet based channel that is free to watch and has a wealth of good content.

Piper for free
November 1, 2009One of the things I love about the internet is the way that people give away their content for free.
Mars Hill and the Resurgence have been leading the way in this in terms of quantity, but the best in terms of quality must been John Piper. Piper gives away everything… everything! Even his books! You can download them as PDF and print them off to read. Brilliant.

Proggy Now at your Fingertips
October 28, 2009
So we know you all have smart phones (others have cruddberries). And we know that you love to read theproGnosis. The only thing is it can be a bit cumbersome on the old walk about phone
Hence the new mobile site. It’s easy to use and designed specifically for your handset! Check out these screen shot, taken on an iPhone (landscape).
All the content you want, at your fingertips!
(Well actually this is a WordPress wide thing, but we thought it might be nice to draw your attention to it here)

Personal Jesus
October 27, 2009It’s the old evangelist’s call isn’t it, questioning the crowd to ask if they know Jesus as their personal saviour. Or the Christian who’s just met someone on the street, given them a tract and asks them If they have a personal relationship with God.

Running Like Clockwork
October 26, 2009It happens.
Every 6 months, just like clockwork. Panic, anxiety, second guessing yourself. Will it? Wont it?
The clocks are due to move an hour. Great, you get a longer sleep. But will your phone automatically adjust for you or do you have to do it yourself? How many face this terrifying question every 6 months. Get it wrong and your either embarrassingly early or embarrassingly late.
Turns out mine did…and I did. Had I not spent a restless, constantly checking my phone clock against my watch I’d have been very late. Still, at least I had an extra hours sleep to catch up with all the waking up in an anxious sweat.
So what? What has the clocks changing got to do with anything? It has to do with God. He doesn’t change.

From the Vault: “Windows 2.1 had 16 colours, why does Christianity only have 2?”
October 20, 2009My recent post on the impeccability of Christ (and the subsequent Christology lectures) led me to remembering a post that was written on the old proGnosis blog.
It’s been left unaltered from its original, rather scrappy state but still I think conveys a certain thought. Enjoy.
