I hope to get another podcast up before this time tomorrow, but until then, I wanted to spend a post pointing out the fact that I have updated my “Booksale” page, and hope that you’ll take a look. I try to keep my prices fair and low; the shipping will always be set at cost. [...]

I have recently came upon some short lectures by Dr Derek Thomas, co-editor of the book Give Praise to God and Minister of Teaching at First Presbyterian Church in Jackson, Mississippi (the church J. Ligon Duncan III serves as senior minister).
I recommend your listening to several of these. They are all brief, only seven to [...]

I was happily pointed to some good comments on music in worship by J. Ligon Duncan III* (will an audio version of this be made available I hope?) at Bob Bixby’s bog by Greg Linscott; this post was later linked at Sharperiron. I find it interesting that these aroused such interest and approval from some [...]

Please forgive me for posting a little more Mark Dever for you today. The defense of “relevance” I have seen over the past few weeks since I made my now infamous post concerning a certain Seattle pastor has left me eager to post anything I hear critiquing mega-church movements. I have been interested in [...]

This text from the Liturgy of St James was written 4th century and translated by Gerard Moultrie in 1864. It is sung to PICARDY.
Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
And with fear and trembling stand;
Ponder nothing earthly minded,
For with blessing in His hand,
Christ our God to earth descendeth,
Our full homage to demand.
King of kings, yet born [...]

Lonnae O’Neal Parker seems confused as she argued on NPR’s Talk of the Nation that older hip-hop was good for her to listen to while the recent stuff has “gone too far” and thus keeps it from her daughter (be advised that the audio in that segment contains objectionable elements). But she does say one [...]

In his seminar on service planning, Mark Dever speaks about his Capitol Hill Baptist Church’s use of hymns. It seems some of the attendees wonder if he gets many complaints about his use of hymns. He says,
The people who I know who tell me they don’t like it are other evangelical Christians who want something [...]

This poem written by Thomas Blacklock in the 18th century, can be found in A. W. Tozer’s Christian Book of Mystical Verse.
Come, O my soul, in sacred lays,
Attempt thy great Creator’s praise:
But, oh, what tongue can speak his fame!
What mortal verse can reach the theme!
Enthroned amide the radiant spheres,
He glory like a garment wears;
To form [...]

“There are those that can’t understand why God lets man die, and I can’t understand why God lets man live.” – A. W. Tozer (“What is Man that Thou art Mindful of Him?” sermon on Hebrews 2:9 preached September 3, 1961)

Joel A. Carpenter, in his important work on the history of fundamentalism, Revive Us Again: The Reawakening of American Fundamentalism (New York: Oxford, 1997), gives us a clue as to how fundamentalism ended up with the liturgy which is prominent in many of its churches today. That popular impulse he describes below is still very [...]

Some of you have been loosely discussing relevance around here over the past several days. Well, in listening to the sermon recommended to me by Michael Riley, Let Your Passion Be Single by John Piper, I heard something that made me think of these conversations. First let me observe that it seems like those who [...]

Peter Brown, in his great biography Augustin of Hippo (new edition; London: Faber and Faber, 2000), has a captivating chapter (“The Lost Future”) in which he describes Augustine’s move toward the belief that God is sovereign in the election and salvation of men and that there is a “synthesis of grace, freewill, and predestination,” that [...]
