Free Edwards
This month’s free title from Christian Audio is “Religious Affections” by Jonathan Edwards. Jacob Hantla has the details.

Free Christmas Song
Bob Kauflin would like to give you a free song from last year’s Christmas album “Savior: Celebrating the Mystery of God Become Man.”

Trill Fitness
While on the subject of audio, here’s something different. Trill Fitness is offering a CD of some Sovereign Grace Music favorites remixed to be appropriate for workouts. It’s a pretty safe bet you’ve never heard “Come Now Almighty King” at 129 beats per minute.

Dear Jesus?
Paul and Bruce think we need to stop addressing God like we address a letter.

The Great Rewiring of Childhood

I know I’m getting old and all that, and I’m aware this means that I’ll be tempted to look unfavorably at people who are younger than myself. I know I’ll be tempted to consider what people were like when I was young and to stand in judgment of what people are like today. Yet even…

It’s Okay To Be a Two-Talent Christian

The Happiest Year You Will Ever Know

There are some hymns that disappear because they are simply not very good. There are some hymns that disappear because they are too tied to a particular niche. And there are some hymns that disappear because their language becomes antiquated. I think this hymn/poem by John Newton spans the latter two categories. It is closely…
