I haven’t had much time for blogging of late, so here are a few links you might be interested in…

• Terry Virgo has blogged about his “Grace Teaches Us to Say No” sermon. I first heard him teach this at Stoneleigh 99, and it made a lasting impact on me, and the others I was with. He has recently preached the same message in Eastbourne and includes a link to a download. I’m sure it is well worth a listen.
• Sovereign Grace have released a new album, called Psalms. You can download it for only $9. I think this is one of their best albums in recent years. “You Will Never Change”, “God is our Refuge” and “Out of the Depths” are my favourite tracks at the moment.
• The audio from a sermon I preached a couple of months ago at Southampton University Christian Union is now online. The subject was unity, based on Jesus’ prayer in John 17. I haven’t dared listen to it yet myself, as I felt I struggled a bit with the delivery (it was quite weird because my face was projected onto three giant screens, which meant that no one was actually looking directly at me – quite disconcerting). You can download it here.
• A thought-provoking post from Dan Edelen on who’s to blame for the prosperity gospel
• Jeremy Pierce gives us his expert opinion on commentaries on Luke, 1 Corinthians and Genesis.
• Mark Driscoll’s ‘notes’ on Genesis are available (h.t. Dave Bish). Does the man never sleep?
• Tim Chester has a new book out – You Can Change
• David Matthias posts on 20 reasons why I love Jesus.
