Mark Driscoll preached an awesome sermon to ministry leaders at The Gospel Coalition 2009 National Conference in Chicago, IL last month. Great inspiration, especially for those involved in leading ministry.
Mark Driscoll: Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth (2 Timothy 2:14-26)
Notes
There were some other great men of God who also preached and taught at this conference. Tim Keller, D.A. Carson, John Piper, and others.

@PastorMark Twittered from Chicago as he enjoyed a Cubs game with Pastor James MacDonald, another one of my figurative mentors. How awesome it would have been!

Two Videos on Easter
Alright.. Time to get this blog up and running again!
Here are a couple of great videos from St. Helen's Bishopgate in London.
Film 1: Life to Death
Film 2: Death to Life
The second of these videos features two experts from Tyndale House at Cambridge. They offer testimony on the death and resurrection of scripture. Enjoy!

What It's About
"Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who are elect exiles..." 1 Peter 1:1 (ESV)
Welcome! Thank you for checking out The Elect Exile Blog. Here I will offer my insights and even what wisdom I can for the purpose of instructing and building up all who will listen in the Lord. It is my prayer for this blog that those who do not know Jesus will come to know him, and that those who do will come to know him better.
The Goal
In Peter's first epistle, he addresses the church as "elect exiles". Election is the idea that God chose us for relationship with him. God chose to create us, he chose to pursue us, and best of all he chose to save us through Jesus Christ. For those who believe, this is great news! God rescued us when we were ill-deserving of his grace! Because he is a good God. I will attempt to unpack and teach passages of scripture, drawing on great teachers who have gone before me and adding my own insight along the way. That is half of what this blog is all about.
Exile, then, can be the result of that election. When we embrace the gospel and pursue holiness through a relationship with Jesus Christ, we are often cast out by society and often by those closest to us. In the Christian life, it is not uncommon for believers around the world to lose their jobs, their families, and even their very lives for the cause of the gospel of Christ. The second part of this blog is to provide hope to my fellow believers as we can often feel lost in the throws of the battle around us.
Helpful Information
In this blog, you can find links to websites where you can find resources, teaching, and other media for your personal walk with God. I will be posting reviews for most of the books I read and I will recommend (or discourage) them for your enjoyment. You can find that listed with the other Links on this blog.
Contacting Me
I make myself available as much as possible to serve others. If you have prayer needs, questions, suggested topics, or would like to contact me for any reason, I welcome you. Please feel free to email me at charis.dei@gmail.com or post your questions as comments on the blogs. I am willing to discuss anything you may be wondering about and I am pursuing humility toward constructive criticism. I only ask that you be respectful and that subjects of a "touchy" or "questionable" nature be directed at me via email for the consideration of others who may read this blog.
Again, thanks for checking out The Elect Exile. I will begin posting teachings soon and I hope to see you on the discussion boards!
