My Resources
People ask me from time to time, “what do you listen to, or read?” As we are being transformed, some of the resources that I have found encouraging and instructive are below.
The Bible
Daily prayer and Bible readings
As the law of God becomes a mirror for our lives (James 1:23-24), we realize we are helpless to clean ourselves (Gal 3:24). The Bible reveals the only cleansing power: the cross of Christ. As we are made new, the Word of God helps us begin to understand the nature of this Great God who made us and sent His Son to save us. (John 3:16; I Cor 1:18)
If you don’t embrace any of the resources below, embrace II Timothy 3:16-17 and Hebrews 4:12-13. God speaks to us through His Scriptures, and creatively instructs our lives through His Word. (John 1:1-5)
Teaching, commentary and music

Keith Green’s music
I came to know Christ in 1981. Keith’s music and teaching shaped much of my thinking about God. Keith died in a plane crash in 1982, but I still listen to his music regularly.
