Modern Reformation Magazine
http://www.modernreformation.org
I received my copy yesterday and, wow, this is a great magazine. I would encourage you to take them up on their trial copy. By taking the time to sign their guestbook, you can get a sample issue. (http://whitehorseinn.org/guestbook.htm) I imagine that it enters you into some database or another but these guys are responsible and I don’t worry about ending up on some spam mailing list for male patent baldness cures (or worse!).
Some great stuff can be found therein. One paragraph that grabbed me this morning on the bus ride into work was this:
“Luther and others recognized that, contrary to outward appearances, God was actually most at work at a time and in a place that seemed to scream out his absence, that is, Jesus’ crucifixion. Just when one might assume he was completely absent, God was in fact most present and at work, redeeming his lost sheep through the cross.”

I stumbled across this blog yesterday via a link from www.challies.com – a great blog in and of itself. Whilst writing yesterday on the Reformation theme many adopted, ‘Heather’ wrote:
Learning this bit of history opened the door for me to understand what a staggering amount of information was missing from my life. Yes, I knew the redemption story, and the book of Acts, but what happened after Paul and Peter and James? Who did God raise up next to carry on His work? Someone must know. And as my husband and I began to read new authors and new titles(some of them quite old actually), the world as seen from God’s perspective was unveiled. The history of the world was not worldly, it was heavenly. I had spent all my years of education wrongly compartmentalizing the various subjects: American history, Italian artists, Roman Catholic saints, English monarchies, German philosphers, European scientists and
Middle East conflicts, etc. But as I began to realize they all fell under the heading: The Works of Jesus Christ.
Great stuff! And somewhere I plan to drop by again. Thanks for the insight, Heather.

Indelible Grace Music

My pastor recently shared with me a CD that had these folks singing on it. I was hooked!
In their own words, they hope “ to help the church recover the tradition of putting old hymns to new music for each generation, and to enrich our worship with a huge view of God and His indelible grace.”
They succeed. Following the old adage that an mp3 is worth a thousand reviews, check out their sound via samples at their website: http://www.igracemusic.com/music/soundclips.htm
