Burvil's Life: Sanctification in Progress

When I first became a Christian over 11 years ago, I heard many messages from Mike Gin at CCCDC.  I felt at the time that they were very impactful – I almost always left thinking about the sermon and how I could apply it in my life.  It was largely because of his style – very personal, not beat-you-over-the-head, yet very structured, getting his three points across well with lots of good illustrations.  Although I know this is the pattern a lot of sermons are supposed to follow, in the decade since, I’ve heard plenty of sermons ranging from John Macarthur to John Piper, and very few of them match up in terms of how much the message left me contemplating the meaning of the message and its application.   I recently found that Mike’s recent sermons are online at Twin Cities Chinese Christian Church.

I went to OSCON last year, and registration is now open for the one this year. As I’m transitioning to a new role at work, I don’t know if I’ll make it this year, though.  We’ll see – I learned a lot last year, and I think it’s definitely worth the spam I get from it

Had some time to redo the site again, after taking a hiatus.  Also set up http://lily.burvil.org, and posted pics there.

Interesting, in retrospect, how far technology has come (and also how little I knew 11 years ago, as shown in these pages I did in MS Frontpage back then.).
