Sunday Hymn: The Spirit Breathes Upon the Word

The Spirit breathes upon the Word,
And brings the truth to sight;
Precepts and promises afford
A sanctifying light.

A glory gilds the sacred page,
Majestic, like the sun:
It gives a light to ev’ry age;
It gives, but borrows none.

The Hand that gave it still supplies
The gracious light and heat:
His truths upon the nations rise;
They rise, but never set.

Let everlasting thanks be thine
For such a bright display
As makes a world of darkness shine
With beams of heav’nly day.

My soul rejoices to pursue
The steps of him I love.
Till glory break upon my view
In brighter worlds above.

—William Cowper

Round the Sphere Again: Recommended for Listening

Excellent mp3 from recent conferences.

Every Thought Captive
The Thirsty Theologian recommends the audio from the Every Thought Captive Conference with Tim Challies and Frank Turk. (I probably won’t listen to these, but I trust Thirsty’s endorsement.)

Finding God’s Will
I have listened to this audio from the Finding God’s Will Conference at Riverview Church in Holt, Michigan:

I remember my parents working out what it meant to make decisions according to God’s will and discussing it with each other when I was a child. They came, eventually, to what these speakers call the “wisdom view,” and since I was a little pitcher with big ears I came to that view right along with them. Thinking this way saved me a lot of grief as I grew and began making more decisions on my own.

If you struggle with this issue, I recommend this series of lectures. If you just want to think rightly about what God expects of us in regards to finding his will for us, you’ll want to listen up, too.
