As I said in a previous post, from time to time I will post a few things that have been a help and encouragement to me. Of late, these are a few of the places I have been frequenting.
1. Undeserved Grace - I have been spending a lot of time here. It is a Ning, which is a networking ring, sorta like Myspace, but group-oriented. I have been enjoying some good debates and discussions from people all over the reformed/evangelical spectrum. We have our own chat room as well, and there have been some good times there. Check it out!
2. Solid Food Media - This is a real gem! I have immensely enjoyed the material I have come across here: especially the series "How Christ Transforms the Ten Commandments". Give it a listen, and let me know what you think!
3. Sermonaudio.com - I find I don't use this resource as often as I used to, but it is a great place to hear many of the prevailing views in the Reformed, Evangelical, and Fundamentalist camps. Some of the preachers I like are Harold Chase, Thomas Gormley, Paul Washer, and Doug VanderMeulen. My brother-in-law, Ben Armstrong, can also be heard here.
4. Purgatorio - This is one of the places I go when I want a laugh. Divine Vinyl is pure genius!

The Great, Great Love of God
Pastor Jon has been teaching through the Attributes of God. The most recent messages have been on the attribute of Love. God's love is a great mystery. Why would He, the ultimate expression of good, deign to set His affection on the meanest of the mean and the vilest of the low. Why would the Father choose a bride for His Son among the commonest of sinners? I wrote this CM poem while meditating on this matchless, boundless love.
Christ Jesus gave His all for me,
So great His wondrous love.
Though once from Him I tried to flee,
He sought me from above.
Though naught had I to offer Him,
Yet still He freely gave.
Though selfish and besot with sin,
Yet He my soul did save.
Through grace He op'ed my blinded eye,
His light He bid to see,
He raised from death where I did lie,
My soul gave liberty.
Love's fulness I can ne'er express,
Or sound the depth thereof;
But this I know and do confess:
How great is Jesus' love!
So great His wondrous love.
Though once from Him I tried to flee,
He sought me from above.
Though naught had I to offer Him,
Yet still He freely gave.
Though selfish and besot with sin,
Yet He my soul did save.
Through grace He op'ed my blinded eye,
His light He bid to see,
He raised from death where I did lie,
My soul gave liberty.
Love's fulness I can ne'er express,
Or sound the depth thereof;
But this I know and do confess:
How great is Jesus' love!
