Sunday's Hymn

Holy, Holy, Holy

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessèd Trinity!

Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Who was, and is, and evermore shall be.

Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see;
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy Name, in earth, and sky, and sea;
Holy, holy, holy; merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessèd Trinity!

—Reginald Heber

Round the Sphere Again: Which One?

Confidence or Condemnation?
“Whenever counseling Christians looking for assurance of salvation, I take them to 1 John. This brief epistle is full of help for determining whether we are in the faith or not. In particular, there are three signs in 1 John given to us so we can answer the question ‘Do I have confidence or condemnation?’” Read the rest. (Kevin DeYoung)

Lump Charcoal or Briquettes?
“In the world of charcoal grilling, there’s no more fundamental and fiercely debated topic than lump charcoal vs. briquettes. Being the building block for everything you grill, it’s no wonder that grill masters around the world will defend their choice with extreme passion.” (Serious Eats)

My preference? I switched to lump charcoal a couple of years ago and I’m never,  ever going back to briquettes.
