			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have recently had the opportunity to take a few days off work, and was able to finish a book I started an age ago &#8211; Tim Keller&#8217;s excellent <em>Counterfeit Gods</em>.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://rcm-uk.amazon.co.uk/e/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=thevirtualwor-21&#038;o=2&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;md=0M5A6TN3AXP2JHJBWT02&#038;asins=0340995076" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p>In many ways this is a book length treatment of the topic of my last post (<a href="http://www.thevirtualword.org/2010/10/31/john-newton-on-why-things-in-this-world-arent-enough/">Why things in this world aren&#8217;t enough</a>).  Keller combines rasor-sharp cultural observation and analysis with warm and wonderful Biblical exposition making this a must-read as far as I am concerned.</p>
<p>But be warned &#8211; this might be a painful read as our own idols are exposed.  He spares no punches for those of us who make an idol out of doctrinal accuracy, or popularity, or security etc. etc.  A helpful reminder of keeping the main thing the main thing.  And a sermon series waiting to be &#8216;borrowed&#8217;&#8230;?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have just read a wonderful sermon by Tim Keller on the subject of Hell.  In it he suggests that far from being a problem for those who believe in a loving God, the doctrine of Hell is actually a really helpful one.  It helps us to understand our hearts, to live at peace in the world, and to know the love of God.  Big claims?  <a href="http://www.preachingtoday.com/sermons/article_print.html?id=85148" target="_new">Have a read</a> and come to your own conclusions&#8230;</p>
<p>And if you like Keller&#8217;s preaching, have a look at a wonderful resource of 150 <a href="http://sermons2.redeemer.com/" target="_new">free sermons from Redeemer Church</a>.</p>
