New Attitude

NA.crowd.jpg Truth. Lived out. With Humility.

New Attitude exists to help Christians rediscover the unchanging truth found in God's word and recommit to living that truth. We do this in two ways: the big annual conference and the ongoing conversation on the New Attitude website. Led by Eric Simmons and Joshua Harris, pastors at Covenant Life Church, Na is grounded in the churches of Sovereign Grace Ministries. In both the conference and its website, our goal remains to equip people and point them back to their own local church communities.

New Attitude exists because we believe that truth matters. The truth of God's Word should not be redefined or reinvented to suit our preferences or out culture. We don't change the truth--the truth should change us. We call this conviction "humble orthodoxy."

Humble orthodoxy is a commitment to believe, live, and represent the truth with humility.

We want to bring the message of Christ to our world with our words and with our lives--to humbly say, "Look at my life and see how the gospel has changed me."

This year at New Attitude 2007, we'll spend four days examining our lives through the lens of God's Word. We want to become those who "have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil" (Hebrews 5:14).

Discernment is looking closely at what we believe, the culture we absorb, the motives of our hearts, what we think and do and say, in light of God's Word.

Humble orthodoxy takes discernment.

2007 message topics:

How do we discern what is primary and secondary doctrine?
How do we discern what to accept, reject, and adapt to in our culture?
How does our conscience fit into a practice of discernment?
How do we discern the motives of our own hearts?

2007 speakers:

Joshua Harris
Eric Simmons
CJ Mahaney
Mark Dever
Al Mohler
John Piper

May 26-69 (Memorial Day Weekend)
Louisville, KY

Matt Chandler Video: My family listened to one of Matt's sermons as we drove to Ohio for Thanksgiving. A few days later we were shocked to hear of his seizure and need for immediate surgery. Matt and his family and church have been in our prayers since. This is a video Matt recorded for his church right before the surgery. In it he's exalting Jesus and pastoring his people. I thank God for this man and pray for his quick recovery. Watch.
Calling Christian Actors: Vinegar Hill is casting for the NEXT 2010 conference promo video right now. Check out the casting call.
Pilgrim's Progress Musical: Pilgrim is a modern musical adaptation of John Bunyan's classic work, Pilgrim's Progress. It was performed in spring 2009 by the high school students at my church. They did a great job. The script is by theatre professionals (and members of our church) Janice Mays and Cathy Mays. The music is by various artists, including Bob Kauflin, Zach Jones and Mark Altrogge. You can order a DVD of the production here.
