Izaac thinks aloud: Who knew the ‘T’ in T-shirt stood for ‘theology’?.

Izaac links to another dude that distinguishes between Systematic Theology and Biblical Theology by example of hanging your shirts. You should read it. I thought it was both helpful and funny.

So the other day I gave you an update on our flyering efforts during orientation week.

Well the whole Uni Fellowship Committee have turned into Avatars with many MANY dragons. And those funny horses.

Today after our 7:30am committee meeting, we headed onto Sandy Bay campus – (first time since Monday) – to give out our info to any new student studying Arts. Arts at UTAS, and I suspect everywhere else, is large, so large in fact that they split Arts orientation days down the middle according to surname. So today as the floodgates opened and the students piled in the Committee and staff opened fire. Aaron reckons we got 90% of the students.

And they are back to do it tomorrow!

Please be praying that as students begin their year, they might be curious enough to come along to our weekly lunchtime meetings on ‘The Christian Worldview’ or our evening meetings for awesome community pump up! And please pray that they come back and become curious about Jesus and Salvation.

Around the place Luke Hansard was doing his awesomeness today as well. He’s been doing it all week, just saw him for the first time today. Good times. Pray for him too.

You should comment on Luke’s blog, he will be encouraged and maybe write another blog post.

As we read the book of Nehemiah, we appreciate that the man is no passive flower. We have a man of swift, decisive action; a creative and brilliant strategist who made things happen. He’d engineer and generate things through a mixture of ingenuity and belligerence.

So then why did he not do something? It would surely beat all this wailing. Begin a PR campaign, start lobbying, get on talk radio, or at least write a blog. Instead he mourns. And in doing so, he’s “blessed,” according to Jesus (Matt. 5:4).

Great post at the resurgence. I don’t link to them too often anymore – the info is generally recycled, a random list, book reviews on their own books or boring. But this one rocks.
