Truth Matters Conference 2022, New Shepherds' Conference Music CD, & a Song for Your Day

Truth Matters Conference 2022 

This conference (scheduled for May 18th-20th) of next year already has a full registration and waiting list, and some of my relatives are registered (not me).  I was pleased to see that they still plan to stream the conference for those of us who are not going (see HERE), as I love the speaker lineup.  It's something like a dream conference lineup, but watching from a distance will be great!  I won't have to be concerned about how my health is.  I've met Don Green (and heard him live which was something I really enjoyed and wanted to do so much).  I saw (sort of met) John MacArthur in person when I was young quite a bit (and live-stream Grace Community Church regularly on Sunday afternoons), and I saw Phil Johnson at least once at Word of Grace/Grace to You (though I remember the occasion rather than what he looked like).  I haven't met the others in person, but I've seen Justin Peters so many times online that I feel I practically know him.  Darrell Harrison was a great friend on a social media site I used to be on, and I've listened to him some online.  I've seen Jeff Williams streaming online 2 or 3 times (really great presentations).  I've seen Owen Strachan's comments online (not sure if I've ever heard him), and I've heard just a little of Ken Ham.  Well, if all goes well, I hope to stream the conference, and I'm sure I will get to hear about what it was like secondhand...maybe see photos of anybody I might know that my family members meet?  Pretty please?  

Live at Shepherds' Conference, Volume 2

I have the first Volume CD from a previous Shepherds' Conference, and I would love to have this second one.  The conference this new one is from happened just before everything shut down in 2020, and the music is terrific!  You can find out more HERE.  

Song for Your Day

With everything that's going on, it's always good to focus our minds back on Christ.  Here is an uplifting song that is also found in Hymns of Grace.

Shepherds' Conference News & Music for Your Day

Shepherds' Conference

The Shepherds' Conference for 2022 has been announced!

You can watch John MacArthur talk about it on a video HERE.  

The new Bible translation will be featured (The Legacy Standard Bible), so the guys can get excited about that.  I know I would like one myself.  There were a number of men disappointed about the one for this year being cancelled, so it will be great for those who are able to make it to the one in March of next year!  I hope that nothing will hinder it.

Music for Your Day

Hymns of Grace has a lyrics video out that was shared in recent times.  

Philip Webb is the male singer for this (known to some in my family as "Superman.").

LSB Online & Psalm 23 Hymn

Legacy Standard Bible

They already have the New Testament, Psalms, & Proverbs available to read online!

I'm excited about this new translation in which they worked so hard to focus on accuracy and consistency rather than simply readability.

You can find it HERE.

The Lord is My Shepherd (Psalm 23)

I've heard this song in recent times, and it's worth sharing.

It's also in the Hymns of Grace hymnal!

Waiting for Election Results, Hymns of Grace Sale, & a Thanksgiving Hymn

Still Waiting for Election Results

While the mainstream media has projected a winner for the Presidential election in the U.S., I have not seen that the final vote count is in.  Not all media sites have called it. The courts may have to make decisions as there are court cases pending last I checked.  Social media flags factual videos, and so we will have to wait to see what the final results of all of these things are.  I still remember the hanging chads in Florida in an election many years ago now.  Sadly, people today seem to want to be hasty to declare victory before they really should.

Hymns of Grace is having a Black Friday sale!   

I have some of my favorite hymn numbers listed in the back of my Hymns of Grace book. It's a good place to go to find songs to sing that have worthwhile lyrics for encouragement and also dealing with specific topics. 

If you are interested in good hymn book, you can check them out HERE.

A Hymn of Thanksgiving

I saw someone sharing a different video by these people, and I searched their channel and found the following song.  I enjoy discovering new things to share with those who look at my blog, and it is good to remember to be thankful!

Chosen by God, Mob Mentality, & Perfect Wisdom

A pastor in CA gave a series "Chosen by God" quite a number of years ago at Foothill Bible Church in Upland, and I remember that it was really good over all.
I am sharing it with any of you who would really like to hear what the Bible teaches on the subject in the book of Romans.

Here is the first message.
Chosen by God Part 1 - taught by David Forsyth
There was only one message I think I remember disagreeing with something of.

You can find the whole series by typing the title in the search box HERE.

An Article Worth Reading
Today I read an article which reflects well what I've been thinking about the mob mentality and guilty until proven innocent thinking that seems to be permeating our society and seems to have infiltrated even into the thinking of believers that you would not have expected it to.
Ghana & Kavanaugh by Samuel Sey


Song of the Day
The following is a cover of a song which is in the Hymns of Grace book.

Shepherds' Conference 2018 & Hymns of Grace CD

2018 Shepherds' Conference
I'm excited.  It's nearly here!  I've enjoyed watching or listening to the live-stream in recent years.
I know of some pastors that plan to attend, and I'm so pleased for them.
I'm also happy that some will be going to evangelize apart from the conference while in the area.
The conference itself usually is available to watch on the official page, but I'll try to let you know if something changes about that.
The dates are March 7-9th and the first session is scheduled for 10 AM Pacific Time (which is 1 PM Eastern and that would be 6 PM GMT).  Check your time HERE.
Shepherds' Conference Site


The CD is finally coming out!
3,000 male voices singing worship songs!
If you are able to get it, that's terrific!
It is supposed to be available at the Shepherds' Conference first, but after that, it should be available online.
They recently shared this video of one of the songs!


When it is available to everyone, you should be able to find it at the following link:
Hymns of Grace - Live at Shepherds' Conference

For those who were hoping to hear Philip Webb on Iron Sharpens Iron Radio today, I"m sorry I had the date wrong.  Hopefully, it will be uploaded online at some point.

Culture of Death, Messengers of Hope, Lyrics Languages

Culture of Death
I grew up listening to Christian music quite a bit, and there are some songs that have messages that transcend the time they were written.
The following song discusses the culture of death that still reigns today.



Messengers of Hope
Last Sunday night during the Grace Community Church live-stream, I heard a particular hymn for the first time that is found in the Hymns of Grace book.
(The hymn books have sold out, & are going to be put out by Moody Press in the future.)
 Near the end of the song I heard last Sunday, it talked about the call to be messengers of hope & to bid the nations to sing the praises of the Lord.
Some people are able to go in person, and that's great!
With my limitations, I'm thankful to be able to still use the internet. Maybe one day I won't be able to, but God still has His purposes.

 

Lyrics Languages
Sovereign Grace Music is now making some of their song lyrics available in multiple languages!
They have Chinese, French, Russian, Korean, Spanish, & Welsh.
The downloadable lyrics of one of the songs that I like are found on the left side of the following page (scroll down a little ways on it):
Behold Our God

Live-Stream Christmas Concert Plus Recent Church Resources

Grace Community Church plans to live-stream one of their 2015 Christmas concerts on December 20th at 6 PM Pacific / 9 PM Eastern / 2 AM in the U.K.  It should be a great concert!
