There were a number of podcasts I had done last year (2004) up to about March of this year, that had broken links. Evidently they had been like that since last May when I did some reorganization on the server they were located on. The links are fixed now. Scroll down the list after clicking on this link to find them. Be forewarned, these files are located on my home server and the download speed for you will be a litte slower.

I’ve redesigned my site and released a major update to my home grown blogging software. Let me know if you run into any problems.One of the major changes is that I have mixed in with the Bible Blog all of my posts related to software development and miscellaneous interests. After I make a few more changes this week, you’ll be able to subscribe to just certain categories (like Bible related). I think the change will allow readers to see a more complete picture of who I am. I enjoy reading a little about what is going on in people’s lives on their blogs, so from

Justin Taylor of Between Two Worlds writes about Worshipping the Giver, Not the Gifts in a great little summary of John Piper's book Hunger for God (It’s about fasting.)One of the most important things I've learned from John Piper is that we must always be on guard to worship the Giver, not the gifts--to love God, not simply what he has given us.That's the point of this stanza from Anne R. Cousin's hym, "The Sands of Time Are Sinking." The entire hymn was inspired by Samuel Rutherford's Letters, and this stanza in particular was built upon Letters 21 and 168.The Bride

I want to make my weblog better. I am imspired by the idea that Compelling Content is King. Could it be as simple as reading How to Write a Better Weblog? Maybe not, but I am going to try. I have felt somehow that every post on a blog entitled David's Bible Blog must be spiritual and not so personal. Well, it's time to loosen up and start posting my life and more frequently too. I'll still post devotional thoughts and other faith related items because... well, because that's part of my life. Stay tuned.

Dr. Adrian Rogers, Founder of Love Worth Finding Ministries, Pastor Emeritus of Bellevue Baptist Church and a gifted man of God passed away in to the presence of the Lord early this morning after battling cancer and double pneumonia.I received the new birth under this man's ministry. My heart is heavy but also rejoicing for a job well done by this good and faithful servant. It was in 1980 that I finally came to truly understand the gospel. I had come close many times before, starting when I was 16 at a Billy Graham Crusade. It was the clarity, confidence

I know I've made this point before in this series about "Hearing God" but I
need to revisit it again because it is so important and fundamental. Everything
we know about Jesus comes from the Bible. Most everything we know about the Holy
Spirit comes from the Bible. I say most because someone never having heard God's
word could still know his conscience is tugging him away from sin and that
certainly would be the Holy Spirit. Most everything we know about God comes from
the Bible. Again I say most because we can know His creative power by looking
