Party Liason Sam Low
This is Sam’s farewell to his old church and youth group (Corey eat your heart out!). They did some really good videos on their camp in January 08. They had 3 people who came on camp to film and edit videos on the run. Creative and good quality. Check out their channel.

Be a Greek geek
I’m in the middle of a three week New Testament Greek intensive. I’m no Greek-geek – so here are some tools to help geek it up.
Online New Testament Greek tools:
Sex and Worship
Overcoming Sexual Sin, is a sermon by Mark Driscoll. It’s not just for young single Christian guys. It’s for old or young, male or female, Christian or non-Christian. In it Driscoll does more than just deal with the question of how to deal with sexual temptation. He helpfully shows how people are idolaters when they replace worship of the creator for worship of his creation. He then argues that sex is one of the key things that people worship. Check his notes or the sermon for more.
He finished with 11 points on how the Christian can replace the desire to worship sex with a deeper passion to worship the Creator: Jesus.
Lifetone music
I have a friend who has spammed me on facebook about his band: Lifetone. They describe themselves as “Word-infused praise and worship music”. They have a radiohead-esque deal where you decide what you will pay for their album: Who Hopes For What They Already Had?… sweet deal! I’ve listened to snippets of the tracks from their website and from what I’ve heard, it sounds good.
Similar sounds include: Coldplay, U2, Snow Patrol, Smashing Pumpkins, David Crowder Band, Leeland, United, Garage Hymnal.
Check it out and let me know me know how much you decide to pay!
(ps – free sheet music available on the site too…)
Sing Unto the Lord
Dan Godden is my brother-in-law, partner in proclaiming Jesus, and friend. He’s had a few goes at blogging over the past couple of years. It looks like he is now hitting it consistently! Most of his blog content is thinking through church music. Go check it out.
He’s spent the last week posting some content from some documents he’s preparing for the ccec music crew on the area of magnification:
