Faith by Hearing

I came across this great ministry blog that helps the reader download great MP3's from a reformed perspective. The blog is Faith By Hearing in which the creator invites the Ipod user to redeem the commute. I have had a number of evenings downloading great sermons and interviews. People like John Piper, Iain Murry, Martin Lloyd-Jones, Mark Dever, and the list goes on and on. Try it out and let me know if you liked it.

Blog Sabbatical

For the last few months I have taken a sabbatical from blogging. A number of things caused my delay in writing. I was layed off my job August 1st due to the economic slow down. During this time I have been doing construction work by adding two rooms in our unfinished basement.

Tonight I was starting to get ready for the launch of our small group from church in which we will be working though "Respectable Sins" by Bridges with supplemental reading from Owen's "Mortification of Sin." I reviewed Bridges book not long ago. You may want to go back and see it again.

The Republican and Democratic conventions are over so 60 days till election time.

The sabbatical is over.

John Adams the video

My wife bought me the John Adams mini series on video that was put out by Tom Hanks on HBO. Wow is all I can say. It brings to life the the book by David McCullough. This DVD is a must rent when it is available.

We have watched the first DVD in the set and it is wonderful. We had taken a trip earlier this year to Colonial Willamsburg were a lot of the program was filmed. History really comes to life in this DVD. McCullough is one of my favorite writers of history and very accurate in delivering the information on the characters.
