On the comments for this post, in which I recommended the MP3 Library at Monergism.com, Connie said this:

Now how did you KNOW I was in search of great websites where I could find quality sermons to download to my ‘new’ toy (mp3 player)?

Which gave me an idea for another cooperative list post. Let’s list web sources for quality sermons in mp3 format to download for free. I’ll start by listing a couple sites that I’ve used and I’m hoping you’ll add one or two of the sites you’ve used. Okay?

1. There is, of course, the already mentioned MP3 Library at Monergism.com.

2. And there’s an mp3 blog in my blogroll called Faith by Hearing. (Don’t go looking on my blogroll for it. I’ve disabled the roll temporarily because it was loading every-so-slowly or not-at-all.)

3. Update, August 29: threegirldad adds Desiring God,


4. The GraceLife Pulpit (aka Sword and Trowel),



5. and his own pastor, Dr. Kelly R. Randolph of Country Acres Baptist Church.

6. Update, August 30: Connie suggests SermonAudio, which she used to downloaded some Puritan sermons. She listened to “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” (Edwards) and “Christian Joy” (Watson) on her walks. [Note added by me: If you’re interested in church history or biographies, you will enjoy many of the historical lectures by Michael Haykin at Sermon Audio, too.]

7. Connie is also planning to download some sermons by S. Lewis Johnson at Believers Chapel.

Your turn. What are your suggestions?

Gas Up: August 28

I see new snow in the mountain tops, so summer is over. That means this will be the last Gas Up post. Next week I hope to get back to regular season blogging, including making my way back to the Romans 8 study I barely started last spring and then dropped for the summer.

The price of my gas this week is that same as last week and the week before, but this week I have a photo! Yep, gas costs me $1.399 a litre, four cents more per litre than when this whole gas price exercise started back in May.

Notice all the puddles in the photo? This has been The Summer of the Constant Rain, and this past week has been the most rainy yet, I’d say. All those outdoor painting projects I had on my list? I only got about half of them done. I’m still hoping for enough good weather to fit a couple more projects in.

Okay, back to gas prices: The price Dorothy pays for gas went down two cents this week.

So what about your gas prices? Up, down or the same this week?

  Does that forehead slap mean he didn’t fill up on Wednesday night?

• Candy’s gas is down to $3.69.

• Kim in On is paying $1.24 - $1.26 per litre.

  I’m hoping it stays down until we get our daughter moved into school!!

• Karen says:

  $3.77 was gas price today at ARCO in Monrovia, Ca.

I use the MP3 Library at Monergism.com as a source for many of the sermons and lectures that I listen to on my iPod. That library has been redesigned with a new easier-to-use format. If you’ve run out of good listening, I suggest you search there for more.
