The Gospel Coalition

The Gospel Coalition now has a site at www.thegospelcoalition.org. It is very well-designed and contains a wealth of material. All of this is in support of a much-needed, and seemingly growing, movement within the Church. A description of their general purpose is in a preamble:
We are a fellowship of evangelical churches deeply committed to renewing our faith in the gospel of Christ and to reforming our ministry practices to conform fully to the Scriptures. We have become deeply concerned about some movements within traditional evangelicalism that seem to be diminishing the church’s life and leading us away from our historic beliefs and practices. On the one hand, we are troubled by the idolatry of personal consumerism and the politicization of faith; on the other hand, we are distressed by the unchallenged acceptance of theological and moral relativism. These movements have led to the easy abandonment of both biblical truth and the transformed living mandated by our historic faith. We not only hear of these influences, we see their effects. We have committed ourselves to invigorating churches with new hope and compelling joy based on the promises received by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.
The site also contains their "Confessional Statement," a "Vision for Ministry" statement, pictures of those they identify [in an unfortunate lapse into jargon] as "stakeholders," a library of texts divided into "Classics" and a "Contemporary" section, and a variety of audio/visual materials with more promised.
