Chimes of Freedom | 75 Bob Dylans
I have only heard a handful of tracks off of the new 75 track Chimes of Freedom, a tribute to Bob Dylan and the work at Amnesty International. And wow. This may be the only time Steve Earle, Miley Cyrus and Ziggy Marley will be on the same CD (and the Miley Cyrus song is actually … Continue reading
New Wovenhand EP
Accompanying the release of Wovenhand’s new lyric book, David Eugene Edwards and company have released a six song EP. The EP features one track from each of Wovenhand’s six albums, redone specially for the EP. I just got it Tuesday and even though I posses all of these songs somewhere else, the EP is contagious. The songs … Continue reading
Of Truth | Sir Francis Bacon
Here is something to wonder at: the glorious inexhaustibly and beauty of truth. Francis Bacon (1561-1626) was the founder of the scientific method, a great Christian thinker and lover of truth. Let this one sink in and see if you can find any truth in Bacon’s words | truth, which only doth judge itself, teacheth … Continue reading
The Floating Kingdom
In the bible, Jesus teaches his followers some radical things, like the idea that you can directly ask God for things that we want. And while that may not seem like some amazing new idea at first glance, what an abstract idea for most Christians! Sure, we all get that we can ask God for … Continue reading
Carl Perkins Cadillac | Live
The Drive-By Truckers have been one of my favorite bands since I was a pre-teen. And yes, I know, probably a bit rough for an 8th grader to be rocking out to, but it’s helped form my musical tastes in good soil. And this video is pure Trucker gold! I have no idea how this … Continue reading
Uncle Tupelo on Conan | 1994
I just stumbled upon this absolute gem of a performance. This was potentially Uncle Tupelo’s final television performance and a great one at that. Never heard of Uncle Tupelo? Well that long haired grunge looking dude playing the telecaster and signing is Jeff Tweedy…THAT Jeff Tweedy! So check out the roots of one of the greatest … Continue reading
A Dangerous Doctrine | Martyn Lloyd-Jones
“When a man says, ‘Because I have sinned I have lost it’, what he is really saying on the other side is, ‘I had it because I was good’. He is wrong in both respects. In other words, if we see that our justification is altogether and entirely in the ‘Lord Jesus Christ and Him … Continue reading
Passion 2012, Giving & The Local Church
In light of the insane amount of money that has been given by high school and college students to support The 2012 Passion Conference , I began thinking about the practice of giving within the Church. Not that 40,000 broke students raising 3.6 million dollars is a bad thing at all (that is like 90$ … Continue reading
GCC in 2012
2012 is shaping up to be a busy year, and hopefully a productive year for the blog. I am trying to finish up my undergrad as quickly and painlessly as I possibly can, while interning, dating a godly gal, plugging away here at GCC and serving in the local church. And so this year, (on … Continue reading
