There are so many Christian teachers out there, but so few worth listening to. Strong words? Maybe, but I'm serious. So much of what is taught and preached is just plain boring. If not boring, it is often sloppy in it's thinking or muddled in it's theology. Then, there are volumes of stuff that is downright unethical use of the Word of God --those who sensationalize themselves all the way to the bank.
But the internet allows more access to more teachers at lower cost. One I have found that I enjoy quite a bit is Mark Driscol from Mars Hill Church in Seattle, Washington.
He's not your average preacher guy. Some are put off by his casual, almost grungy approach to communicating, but I think his style is one for an age when people are really suspicious of anything that looks slick or contrived.
REDEEMING RUTH is a series of messages that many people I know have been getting into, seemingly on their own. It's like a wave, or something. I had all the messeages on my ipod (automatically downloaded), but this week I was in the car with Lorrie for many hours and she wanted to listen to them. So, we listened to all six messages in a row. Great stuff.
I recommend them to you highly. As a pastor and a preacher, I would go so far as to say this: If you only listen to six messages this year, make it these. Good stuff.
Here is where you can find them, both in audio and video, and of course, absolutely free. Isn't the internet great! If you have listened to these or if you do, let me know your thoughts.
