Take a minute and read this article... The Biblical Theology of the City.

No seriously, go read it right now and then come back here and finish this.

Those of us here in this area of North Carolina don't live "in the city." I (Cody) live in Burlington, but it would definitely not be considered city by NYC standards. Still I draw a lot from what Tim Keller writes here.

I've asked out New York team to read this article and then respond here on this blog to what they've read. I invite everyone else to do the same. As we prepare to enter NYC and serve Jesus Christ on the streets of the city, think through this article and share your thoughts on what Tim Keller wrote. Here are some ideas on how to respond to this article.

1.) What phrases struck you as odd, out of place, or even wrong?

2.) What was something you felt was most different from the way you think right now?

3.) Was there anything you read here that inspired you?

4.) If Tim Keller were in the room with you right now and was waiting for you to finish reading. How would you respond to him when he asked "OK, honestly, what did you think?"
