Linked Together: Plugging Audio

I’ve listened to a lecture, a debate, and a sermon recently and recommend them to you. You’ll need your thinking cap, but they’re all worth the effort.

• Calvinism and the Origin of Sin. James Anderson discusses two potential problems Calvinists face in accounting for the first sin. Dr. Anderson also examines problems with other ways of accounting for the first sin—like Molinism, for instance.
  
  This lecture was given at the Greenville Seminary Spring Conference. All the audio for this conference is here. If you prefer reading to listening, try this paper (pdf), from which the lecture comes.
  
  
• The Great Debate: Does God Exist? Everyone should listen to this classic debate between Gordon Stein and Greg Bahnsen at least once. I listened to it first more than 10 years ago and it doesn’t get old. (There’s a transcript of this (pdf), too. HT: Andy Naselli. 
  
  
• Never Spoke a Man Like This Before: Inerrancy, Evangelism and Christ’s Unbreakable Bible. This sermon by Kevin DeYoung was delivered at this year’s T4G Conference. It’s been widely recommended and for good reason. 

Heidelberg Catechism

Sunday's Hymn: Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven

Praise, my soul, the King of heaven,
To his feet thy tribute bring;
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Who like me, his praise should sing?
Praise him, praise him,
Praise him, praise him,
Praise the everlasting King.

Praise him for his grace and favor
To our fathers in distress;
Praise him still the same for ever,
Slow to chide, and swift to bless;
Praise him, praise him,
Praise him, praise him,
Glorious in his faithfulness.

Father-like, he tends and spares us;
Well our feeble frame he knows;
In his hands he gently bears us,
Rescues us from all our foes;
Praise him, praise him,
Praise him, praise him,
Widely as his mercy goes.

Angels, help us to adore him;
Ye behold him face to face;
Sun and moon, bow down before him,
Dwellers all in time and space.
Praise him, praise him,
Praise him, praise him,
Praise with us the God of grace.

—Henry F. Lyte
