By Request, ‘Until Then’

Requested by Erlene, this is Carroll Roberson singing Until Then.

The hymn shop is open and we’re taking your requests.

Messianic Prophecy, With Trinity, in Isaiah 48: 12-16 (Christian Blogger)

Again we visit our friend Slimjim’s “Domain for Truth” blog, to examine a prophecy by Isaiah featuring, we think, the coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and an introduction to the Holy Trinity.

Fascinating: Messianic Prophecy and Trinity in Isaiah 48:12-16

How many times does Jesus say this in the Gospel–“the Lord God has sent Me”? But we hear it first in Isaiah.

There’s always something new to find in Bible study.

I display posts by fellow Christian bloggers because I think it’s very important that we help each other spread the word. There are those who try to hold us back.

‘Cwm Rhondda’ (‘Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah’)

This hymn, Cwm Rhondda, has become something like an unofficial Welsh national anthem. I’m not Welsh, but it was very much with me last night: so I felt I had to post it in the morning. We also know it as Bread of Heaven or Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah. I am sure most churches have it in their hymnals.

Sung here by the Orpheus Choir Morriston.

 

‘Joy to the World’

Yes, I know, I know it’s not Christmas yet. But there was this Fountainview Academy video of Joy to the World sitting there and saying, “Post me, come on, post me!” So I did.

This is a gorgeous production, and I’m not ashamed to say it brought a tear of joy to my eye.

‘Crown Him with Many Crowns’

I heard the bells of St. Francis, just across the street from me, playing this the other day–Crown Him With Many Crowns. Here we have it performed by the students at Fountainview Academy, British Columbia.

Just don’t ask me how they got a piano out there by the riverside…

I’m Late, Late, Late!

I did a podcast this morning, with our friend Elijah Holsten. My excuse is, I thought it was going to be Tuesday, not today. Anyway, I’ve done it.

But now I’m late! It’s not raining, so I have to, have to, have to! use the opportunity to work on my book. I also have to write a Newswithviews column–about what, I have no idea. And I need to generate blog posts.

Yipes, look at that clock–I’ve got to get out there and write…

By Request, ‘When We All Get to Heaven’

We have a hymn request from Erlene–When We All Get to Heaven, a good old-fashioned 19th century hymn. I wish I could tell you who was singing her–well, whoever they are, it was very nice. Plus beautiful photos of God’s handiwork.

‘Blessed Assurance’

I hope I haven’t played this hymn too often. It was the first one that popped into my head last night–Blessed Assurance, a classic hymn by Fanny Crosby, sung by the Harpeth Gospel Quartet. Background sets by God the Father, maker of heaven and earth.

By Request, ‘Showers of Blessings’

We have a hymn request from Janet, so here it is–Showers of Blessings, performed by the students of Fountainview Academy. And I know they have umbrellas, but I don’t think this gorgeous British Columbia waterfall is going to let them stay dry.

‘Bringing in the Sheaves’ (Congregational)

How would this hymn sound if a lot of people sang it, all at once?

It’d sound great!

Bringing in the Sheaves, sung by the congregation and choir at Southwest Baptist Church, Oklahoma City. Plus piano, of course: just as I remember it from Sunday school.
