Recommended for Listening V

I’ve been working hard to get the garden in this week, so I’ve not worked much on the study of Romans 8. I did listen to three of the messages from the New Attitude Conference while I worked .

 

• The Authority of Scripture by Mark Dever. I listened to this one because I thought it might be a useful addition to this week’s theological term post. It turns out this was indeed a fine lecture to link to for more information on sola scriptura, so I updated the post to include it.
• The Troubled Soul: God’s Word and Our Feelings by C. J. Mahaney. This is a  difficult time of year for me. My wedding anniversary is on Sunday and for the last couple of years I’ve struggled for a few weeks around this time. Other anniversaries that you’d think might be more distressing have been easy sailing, but this one brings a rainstorm. This message by C. J. Mahaney on Psalm 42 focuses on talking to ourselves when things are hard, just like the psalmist does. Can I let you in on a secret? I would not have made it through the past few years if I hadn’t kept on telling myself of God’s faithfulness, his sure promise that my difficulties are conforming me to the image of his Son, and the hope my future inheritance.
  
• Bible Q&A with Al Mohler. This is an amazing session for two reasons: None of the questions are dumb ones and Dr. Mohler handles them all easily.

I'm so sorry about the difficulties for you at this time of year -- I can't imagine how it must be. I'll keep you in prayer...

Oh, Rebecca, I am especially keeping you in prayer this weekend. You are so right that remembering God's promises and His faithfulness are the ONLY way to get through the difficult times.

The anniversary of my daughter's death is coming up next month, and I'm already experiencing the feelings that surround it every year. So I know something of what you write about. And yes, you are so right.I absolutely would not have survived had it not been for His good work in me now and the sure hope we have in heaven. I'll be praying for you in the days to come, Rebecca.

I know something of what you write about.

I think you probably know more of what I write about than I do. :)
