Chuck Colson speaks about the Imago Dei

"I want to start the new year by looking at the most radical proposition, that lies at the heart of the Christian worldview...a proposition so radical, so profound that it literally changed the world.  It is simply this: the REVEALED TRUTH that man is created in the image of God, that man bears the Imago Dei..."
-short quote from video

This is a great three and a half minute video from Chuck Colson. The key topics in the video are: human rights and human dignity (in the context of U.S. history, referencing the Declaration of Independence), and last but certainly not least, mankind bearing the image of God.

Video presenting the Whole Gospel by Tim Keel

It is probable that you have seen a church in some city or town that contains in its name "Full Gospel."  The idea behind that would be that the popular way of presenting of the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ, is missing something.  "Their gospel is missing something in its presentation...."

One of the most common ways of presenting the gospel would be that people are sinners and need a Savior.  Romans 6:23 is a popular verse for that method.  

So Tim Keel, in this video deals with understanding Jesus Christ in the light of all the narratives in the bible, the Whole Story.  He points out that the priestly narrative, the one we are most familiar with where we need a sacrifice for our sins, is the one Jesus talked about the least.

Keel spends a good amount of time in his presentation talking about Jesus in the light of the creation narrative, the beginning, where man was created in the image of God; Keel shows the importance of understanding Jesus in His relationship with creation, or the beginning.
