A Gold Bug - Perhaps

"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it."….. FREDERIC BASTIAT (From his important book ‘The Law).

This, from Peter Degraaf: Gold and Silver - Big Moves Ahead!

Another cancer patient

This is an article from The Wall Street Journal. It's the shorter version:

A Terminally Ill Harvard Law Prof Talks About Faith and the Future

Here is the audio of a fairly short 'testimony' that Stuntz 'gave' at his home church (I think). It's abt 16 1/2 minutes, and is extremely GOD glorifying. Please give it a listen:

Matt Chandler @ Together For The Gospel (T4G)

A few months ago, I posted a message from Matt Chandler, regarding his cancer. This is an update. The concerted prayer (led by John Piper), at the end of the video, forms an awesome example of the care and concern, and their common belief in the power of God, by these important leaders - regardless their divergent 'cessationist', and 'continuationist' theological perspectives. At end of day, we pray, and leave the results to God. Knowing He is able, we submit our wills to Him in the hope that he has guided our motivations and formed our petitions. "Lord, Thy will be done! Please heal Matt Chandler"!

THE best of John Piper

I think John Piper's inclusion of Rick Warren, in his 2010 National Pastor's Conference, is extremely problematic, at best. Having stated that, I think that this may be the best message from JP that I have heard - certainly, on this particular subject. It's an awesomely clear, and compelling, proclamation of the reality of Christ's sufficiency, as that relates to our justification before God. Carve out an hour, or so, and give this a careful listen::

Revisiting T4G

This week, the great T4G Conference is convening in Louisville, KY. The link provides a great glimpse of an important address, at an earlier T4G Conference. Well worth hearing, or hearing again - an address by Mark Dever:
