Recommended for Listening

I’ve listened to many mp3 lectures, sermons, or Sunday school lessons over the past few months. Here are a few that I think are particularly interesting, informative, and valuable.

D. A. Carson (I’ve included links to my notes posted on each of these, too.)

• The Ironies of the Cross and notes.
• On Being Prepared for Suffering and Evil, Part 1 and Part 2, and notes on Part 1 and Part 2.
• What is the Gospel? and notes.

Wayne Grudem on Scripture (From Scottsdale Bible Church)

• The Canon of Scripture: Old Testament, New Testament
• The Inerrancy of Scripture: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3

John Piper on Romans 9 (From Desiring God Radio)

• Freedom/Justice of God in Unconditional Election, Part 1, Part 2
• The Fame of His Name and the Freedom of Mercy, Part 1, Part 2
• The Hardening of Pharoah and the Hope of the World, Part 1, Part 2
• How God Makes Known the Riches of His Glory to the Vessels of Mercy, Part 1, Part 2

Dan Phillips

• Why Does It Matter That Jesus is a Ransom?

David Wells

• The Supremacy of Christ in a Postmodern World

Phil Johnson

Discovery Day and Other Tidbits

 

• This is a long weekend in the Yukon and today is a holiday—Discovery Day. I’ve taken advantage of the lovely late summer weather to do things outdoors, including prepping and painting yet another deck. And so the spotty blogging. 
• I have buckets of fresh broccoli from the garden, but no heads on the cauliflower yet. The heads on the cabbage are still quite small, too. Apparently cauliflower and cabbage need more sun than broccoli. I would post photos, but all the digital cameras in the house are being used elsewhere during this long weekend.
  
• Oldest daughter ordered a new iPod, and it arrived last Thursday. According to the Purolator delivery man, her parcel came here along with hundreds of iPods intended for destinations all across Canada, but directed here by the 96W code for Whitehorse printed on them. Hers, it seems, was the only one that really belonged here. 

A. Y. Jackson Paints the Highway

Alaska Highway between Watson Lake and Nelson (1943 )

 

Kim of The Upward Call has featured artwork by two of The Group of Seven. Here is a painting another one of the seven, A. Y. Jackson.  It shows the Alaska Highway between Watson Lake and Fort Nelson, and it must be early spring, I’m guessing.
