GOLD FROM JUSTIN TAYLOR'S "BETWEEN TWO WORLDS" BLOG

No doubt there are many fine Christian blogs "out there" in cyberspace, and I wish I had unlimited time to benefit from many more than I do.  But for my money, the one blog that requires frequent visiting is Justin Taylor's Between Two Worlds.  Here's a sampling from recent posts:

- Free Audiobook: Tim Keller's Ministries of Mercy 

- Keith Getty on Writing Today's Modern Hymns  (I found this stunningly good)

- Thielman's New Testament Theology  (Seminary audio lectures with outline.  Amazing resource!) 

- Professor Peter Kreeft's audio lectures:

• 10 Uncommon Insights Into Evil from The Lord of the Rings
• Christianity in The Lord of the Rings
• The Language of Beauty

- D.A. Carson's "The God Who Is There" Video and Audio (MP3s for the 14 - part series here).

The site also includes the lyrics and melodies of the hymns she wrote.  And there are thousands of other hymns and hymn writers listed as well, including more modern hymns and hymn writers also.  

The "Cyber Hymnal" says of itself:

This site has over 7,300 Christ­ian hymns & Gos­pel songs from ma­ny de­nom­in­a­tions. You’ll find lyrics, scores, MI­DI files, pic­tures, his­to­ry, & more.  . .  This wor­ship & teach­ing re­source is pro­vid­ed as a pub­lic ser­vice
