Media I Recommend

True Christianity Changes the Culture It's In: Tim Keller on idols & the Gospel: http://tgc-video.s3.amazonaws.com/2009-conference/plenary/Keller_Session_1.mp3

Dating, Singleness, and Marriage: Females AND males of all ages, you MUST listen to this panel by ASCC staff & partners: http://www.austinstone.org/what/gt_blog/dating_singleness_marriage/
Discipleship: These three talks are from Austin Stone's Summer Conference "The Kingdom is at Hand: The Foundational Need for Discipleship" http://www.austinstone.org/resources/other_audio/category/2009_summer_conference
What the Church Should be Like: Click the link above. Listen to the 3rd talk, "Discipleship in the Church." Yes, I gave it two bullet points. Yes, it is that good. I wish every broken, hurting Christian, as well as every Christian who thinks they will never be broken or hurting, would listen to this and pray for the Holy Spirit to move in their heart. If we all did, I think the Church would be beautifully changed.

"If love sees those it loves going wrong, it must, because of its very love, do what it can to save them; and the love that fails to do this is only selfishness.Therefore, just because of His unfathomable love, the God of love, when He sees His children resting their souls on things that can be shaken, must necessarily remove those things from their lives in order that they may be driven to rest only on the things that cannot be shaken; and this process of removing is sometimes very hard.

We will all acknowledge, I think, that if our souls are to rest in peace and comfort, it can only be on unshakable foundations. It is no more possible for the soul to be comfortable when it is trying to rest on things that can be shaken, than it is for the body. No one can rest comfortably in a shaking bed, or sit in comfort on a rickety chair.
Foundations to be reliable must always be unshakable." -Hannah Whitall Smith, The God of All Comfort

"You have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom and storm; to a trumpet blast or to such a voice speaking words that those who heard it begged that no further word be spoken to them, because they could not bear what was commanded: "If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned." The sight was so terrifying that Moses said, "I am trembling with fear."

But you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the judge of all men, to the spirits of righteous men made perfect, to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.

See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven? At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, "Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens." The words "once more" indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain.

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our "God is a consuming fire."
