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.
