When Trials Come

This one I really like. It's a good, clean sound, and the message is great.

The Grace Of My God

I don't know enough about contemporary music to know whether this is good or bad - the lyrics are great:

On Facebook, there is an app. that asks the question: Which Contemporary Preacher are You? I 'panned-out' as John MacArthur. I have to say: he would not be my very most favorite preacher, but, hey, I could do/be a lot worse. I'm not saying he's bad, at all. Quite the contrary - I'm saying that, among contemporary preachers, there are a few that I would 'prefer to be'. He's okay - no, he's great. Just not AS great as some (very few) others, IMO.

Anyway, here's a JM quote that I think is very much 'to the point', particularly as it relates to "contemporary preacher(s)".

“Pragmatism is the notion that meaning or worth is determined by practical consequences …the belief that usefulness is the standard of what is good. To a pragmatist…if a technique or course of action has the desired effect, it is good. If it doesn’t seem to work, it must be wrong.”

—MacArthur, Ashamed of the Gospel, xii.

Defining, not Assuming, the gospel

Preaching from Colossians 1:13-23, Chandler challenges us to clearly define the Gospel. This message was preached for the 2010 20/20 collegiate conference at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Chandler, who is in the middle of chemotherapy for brain cancer, prerecorded this message.
