Not a blogging virgin

A blog as a requirement for a seminary class. Who would've thunk it? *shrug*

Hmm. Basics. Dave Kim. Korean American. Born in Queens, NY, raised on Long Island, educated in Philadelphia, worked to death in Boston, corrupted in Sydney, Melbourne, and Bangkok, and being educated again at Fuller. I'm entering my third and final year. Man, it's gone by too fast. Not because I'm getting all sentimental or anything, but because I feel like I haven't learned anything since this quarter system makes everything move at ludicrous speed. Ah well.

The church I attend now is PCA. OK OK. REPENT! I know you're judging me. haha! But seriously, I'm taking this class because I work mainly with young adults at my church, and man, some of these people are so repressed that it's hard to find them sober on a weekend night. Well, not all of them are like that, obviously, but the ones I care about... With all the talk about wanting to engage culture and to be a part of it, I find myself yearning for something that'll make Christians different, yet still relevant. I still think that it's possible to not be "of this world" and to still engage it in love and to still be culturally relevant. How do we be a part of this culture, love the people in it, and transform it while not being overcome by it?

how to be relevant? night club ministry is definitely the way to go.

nothing wrong with pca, by the way. it's a great tradition with great perspectives on God. A lot of my formers pastors went to Westminster West. Hopefully Fuller will help de-program me. :)
