If you haven’t heard of PicLens yet I encourage you to visit the PicLens website and download the PicLens browser plugin.

PicLens enables you to view media-rich websites in a “3D wall”. The YouTube video below demonstrates how it works.

So far I’ve only used PicLens while browsing through photos on Flickr and it has worked wonderfully. Your mileage may vary.

Graeme Goldsworthy, in his excellent book According to Plan: The Unfolding Revelation of God in the Bible, provides a few brief, but helpful summaries of the various branches of theology. Make note of these summaries since they will likely prove to be useful in helping someone else understand the different theological disciplines.

Systematic theology asks:

What should Christians believe now about any aspect of Christianity? Its results: Christian doctrine.

Historical theology asks:

What have Christians believed about their faith at any given time? Its results: A record of the development of Christian doctrine.

Pastoral theology asks:

How should Christians minister to one another so that they grow to maturity in Christian living? Its results: Care and growth in the local church.

Biblical theology asks:

By what process has God revealed himself to mankind? Its results: The relating of the whole Bible to our Christian life now.

Steve McCoy and Joe Thorn have launched sub•text - a site about the preaching and practice of the Gospel in the suburban context. It looks like this site will be a great resource for all of us suburbanite Christians.

This week’s Friday photo is a shot of a portion of Romans 8 in my ESV Bible. I decided to go with a black and white treatment and a blue filter. I think it gives the photo a nice effect.

I think you *really* need to see the larger version of this photo to appreciate it. You can always browse more of my photos on my Flickr photostream.

The Gospel Coalition website has a number of sermons by Tim Keller available to download free (turns out they’re not free…bummer) (HT: Justin Taylor).
