Friday August 22, 2008 MacArthur on Christians as Douloi
Shepherd's Fellowship is offering a free Mp3 download of MacArthur's 2008 conference talk on the New Testament's use of the word doulos, or slave, to refer to Christians.
Barak Obama: the Messiah
This fascinating site collects praise for Obama. An example from Halle Berry: "I'll do whatever he says to do. I'll collect paper cups off the ground to make his pathway clear."
Free Tabletalk
"If you are not aware, Tabletalk published a great issue on "The New Atheism" this month. In light of this timely topic, we would like to equip you with extra copies to discuss atheism with those close to you -- or, maybe more importantly, those distant from you and God."
Library for Sale
Here's an amazing and unique theological library for sale. It's crazy expensive but contains over 30,000 volumes.

I know a good Baptist Graduate School that has just announced that it will be expanding into a seminary, beginning next year with an M-Div program. Perhaps, God would place it on the heart of a donor?!?! :)

I don't think that MacArthur MP3 is free to any but those who are registered with Shepherd's Fellowship.

I clicked the link and it won't download with out a user account.

Jack Hamilton was a brother in Christ. He was perhaps Virginia's best golfer in the 1940s. He became a Southern Baptist minister and pastored a number of churches. Only then did he come to the doctrines of grace. This changed his ministry significantly. As his love of theology grew, so did his love of books. He pastored a number of congregations as a reformed Baptist minister (often, I gather, to the confusion of his long-standing Southern Baptist colleagues). After his wife died a number of years back, his large home near the shipyards in Newport News became a stopping point for me whenever I would head south to Duke or Southeastern. Sometimes I would just drive down to see Jack & his books. When I was there, we would have delightful times of fellowship. I had the joy of introducing many young interns to Jack, and Jack tended to give them significantly good discounts. (He was more simply fair with me, or when I brought friends like Al Mohler!) He was called home to be with the Lord last month. I am delighted to see that his son--of whom Jack spoke so highly and with such great affection and respect--is handling his father's amazing library.
