It’s the first Friday of the month, which means that it’s time to post a whole bunch of free stuff! I’m continuing my experiment of copy/pasting the blurbs for these resources in lieu of commenting on them, but suffice to say that this month’s panoply of materials is all-killer-no-filler.

Delighting in God by A. W. Tozer
Delighting in God is the message Tozer intended to be the follow-up to The Knowledge of the Holy. He demonstrates how the attributes of God–those things God has revealed about himself–are a way to understand the Christian life of worship and service. We are here to serve and adore him, but we can only fulfill that role by acknowledging who he is, which is the essence of the Christian life and the source of all our fulfillment, joy, and comfort.

Even those who know little about Scripture recognize it as a cornerstone of Christian belief. While many are familiar with the reference, few consider its full meaning. The importance of John 3:16 is that it serves as a summary of the Bible. Every word is important. This issue considers each word and phrase of this verse as a way to understand the central truths of the gospel.
