Weekly Links (7/2/2010)

by Stephen Rodgers

One of the things I’ve noticed as I’ve done this segment is that people benefit from different forms of media, well, differently. Me, I’m a words guy. I love articles. I really love long PDF files with footnootes. I really, really love even longer books with footnootes. But to some people, that’s like kryptonite.

This post is for you.

Today, I just wanted to briefly highlight a few places where as a Christian you can find resources in audio format. Now, readers with memories better than mine will remember that there was an article on good resources for a Christian that included links to several sermon repositories. Along those lines:

  • In case you didn’t notice, the LBC sermon archive recently started uploading sermons going all the way back to 2004. Paul is still working through those, but there’s a lot more up than there used to be. So high-five Paul when you see him next.

But what if you aren’t looking for a full-length sermon? What if you just were hoping for something to fill the time during your morning commute? I’ve got you covered. These resources will either let you download the programs for free, or subscribe to them so that you are automatically notified when a new one comes out.

  • Al Mohler has a daily radio program where he discusses current issues from a Christian perspective. He’s always worth listening to.
  • Apologist James White does a twice-a-week segment called The Dividing Line where he discusses current events and takes calls. The older shows cost money, but the program has been free for a couple of years now.
  • Of course there’s also Grace to You, the radio arm of John MacArthur’s ministry.
  • No Compromise Radio maintains an archive of all of their episodes that you could definitely benefit from.
  • And last but not least, so does Stand to Reason, the ministry of apologist Greg Koukle. You’ll need to scroll down to see all the archives, but it’s always interesting and thought-provoking to hear what he has to say.

“Alright” you say. “That’s all well and good. But what if I only have five minutes? I just want something to think about and I need it delivered in less time than it takes to microwave a pot pie.”

  • Well, I would heartily recommend Ask Pastor John, which are the freely available Q&A sessions that John Piper has done over the years. Each one is usually 2-5 minutes long, and focuses on the Biblical answer to a specific problem.

Any or all of those would be a great addition to your week. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

See you Sunday!
