My kids love music. We all love Sovereign Grace Music. So I'm excited about their new project. Bob Kauflin announces: You can now sample songs from our next children’s CD, To Be Like Jesus, at the Sovereign Grace Music website. The album is scheduled for release later this month. To Be Like Jesus contains 12 songs. Ten of them are based on the qualities listed as the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23. I know only nine are listed there, but we included two on self-control because…well, any parent knows why we have two songs on self-control. The other two songs teach that God wants to … [Read more...] about New Sovereign Grace Music Project For Kids

Albert Mohler in Chicago Tribune
Dr. Mohler published an op-ed piece in the Chicago Tribune yesterday on the murder of late-term abortionist George Tiller. Dr. Mohler masterfully contrasts the murderer of Dr. Tiller with the likes of Dietrich Bonhoeffer (who was hanged for his role in an attempt to murder Adolf Hitler). In 1943, Dietrich Bonhoeffer was arrested for his opposition to the Nazi regime. The Lutheran pastor, a prominent leader in the anti-Nazi Confessing Church, had been involved in espionage and an attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler. This theologian sought to defy the regime that was murdering the Jewish … [Read more...] about Albert Mohler in Chicago Tribune

How Tim Keller Found Manhattan
Tim Stafford with Christianity Today writes a lengthy biographical sketch of Tim Keller's ministry in Manhattan since 1989. The opening: When Tim Keller came to Manhattan in 1989, New York City had a well-deserved reputation as a snarling, scary place. Violent crime, drug dealing, and other urban pathologies had weakened or chased off many of the faithful. While a barely perceptible renewal was under way, it seemed as if the few remaining orthodox Protestants were huddled together in historic buildings. All of Keller's formal pastoral experience had happened in a small, blue-collar town in … [Read more...] about How Tim Keller Found Manhattan
R.C. Sproul – The Prayer of The Lord
R.C. Sproul's most recent book, The Prayer of the Lord, arrived in the mail yesterday and looks very good. Early in the book, Sproul observes that the Lord's prayer spells out the manner in which we are to pray, not the precise content: He did not say, "Pray this." Rather, He said, "In this manner, therefore, pray" (Matt. 6:9a). Jesus did not give His disciples a prayer they should slavishly repeat, though, as I noted above, repeating the prayer can be good and useful if it is handled correctly. Jesus' intent was to give His disciples a model prayer, an example to follow, one that would … [Read more...] about R.C. Sproul – The Prayer of The Lord
Americans Strongly Oppose GM Bailout
Rasmussen Reports reports the trend: From Day 1, and in increasing numbers, Americans have consistently opposed taxpayer-backed assistance of auto dealers such as GM and Chrysler. 1. CEO Chairman Rick Wagoner first approached the Bush administration and Congress seeking $18 billion in taxpayer-backed loans last fall. In November 2008, just after the election, 45% opposed the loans, 30% supported them, and 25% were undecided. 2. By Thanksgiving, a few weeks later, opposition had risen to 55%. 3. By February, when the automakers returned to Congress and (now) to President Obama, opposition … [Read more...] about Americans Strongly Oppose GM Bailout
