Albert Mohler Sermon Series on The Ten Commandments

Sometime back I wrote this post about the Ten Commandments adding a lament about how rare it is to hear the Law taught from the pulpit. In the 40 Sundays since I wrote that post things have not changed and, although I have heard some great sermons in the intervening span of time, I still have not heard a single sermon preached about the Law in a Church service I have attended.

I have, however, discovered a great series of sermons by Albert Mohler on the Ten Commandments at the Monergism MP3 Library. The series is classic Mohler and rightly deserves a place in every Christian’s MP3 Library.

Listen/Download here: The First Commandment, The Second Commandment, The Third Commandment, The Fourth Commandment, The Fifth Commandment, The Sixth Commandment, The Seventh Commandment, The Eighth Commandment, The Ninth Commandment, The Tenth Commandment.

e-Resource Tip: BibleShared.com

I recently discovered a free on-line Bible reading program called BibleShared that I have really grown to appreciate for a number of reasons. Reason first: Simplicity. This is not to say that it is in anyway minimalistic, in fact the opposite is true- BibleShared has a full set of Bible reading features but with all the unnecessary components striped out. For example, with BibleShared you can write notes in the “margin” using a link provided in each verse, share those notes with a whole group or just a select few, and see what other people are reading and writing about.

Reason next: There are only two Bible translation options to read from – KJV and NASB. Like I said, the focus of BibleShared is on Bible reading.

This brings me to final reason I’ve grown to appreciate BibleShared more than any other on-line Bible reading program- its reading progress tracker. The progress tracker is simple, elegant, and robust and allows you to easily track both your digital and  off-line Bible reading progress.

C.H. Spurgeon once said “The whole book is about Him. Look for him on every page. He is there. If you fail to see Him there, you need to read that page again”, BibleShared is one digital tool that can help you do just that.

e-Resource Tip: The Truth About Man

Paul Washer has a new book available online titled The Truth About Man (A Biblical Study of the Doctrine of Man).

Quote:

The great goal of this study is for the student to have an encounter with God through His Word. Founded upon the conviction that the Scriptures are the inspired and infallible Word of God, this study has been designed in such a way that it is literally impossible for the student to advance without an open Bible before him or her. Our goal is to obey the exhortation of the apostle Paul in II Timothy 2:15: “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.”

It’s solid food cover to cover. By the way, be sure to read the Introduction– especially if you have ever wondered about the importance of studying Biblical doctrine.

If you haven’t already discovered it, check out the Faith by Hearing web log.

Quote:

Faith by Hearing is designed to collect and categorize the ever-growing availabilty [sic] of great Reformed and conservative evangelical audio preaching & teaching that has a high view of God and Scripture.

The content is as rich as any other resource of it’s kind that I have found and it is better organized than most. This is one web site you will want to visit over and over again.
