Joy Beyond the SorrowJoy Beyond the Sorrow, the new album from Indelible Grace is available to order and download today. I’ve been listening to it for a few days now and can say that it’s their best yet. Seriously, it’s a fantastic album. Go here for digital only, or here to order the CD (and get immediate downloads).

Come Ye SinnersCome Ye Sinners, a new live album from Sojourn Music, also releases today.

Precious Puritans – Jeremy Walker shares a long poem meant to address whether the Puritans were complicit in the slave trade and whether that ought to change the way we think of them. It will take a few minutes to read, but is well worth the effort.

Uncooked Goose – Thomas Sowell provides a few interesting facts about the Twinkies bankruptcy saying it is “a classic example of costs created by labor unions that are not confined to paychecks.”

We’re witnessing the bibliographical equivalent of the rapture. If anything we may be lowballing the weirdness of it all.”

The Altar of Ministry – Here is a look at John Wesley’s awful marriage and some lessons we can learn from it.

I do not know when I am more perfectly happy than when I am weeping for sin at the foot of the cross.

—C.H. Spurgeon
