In the course of my travels around the internet, I often come across helpful links and resources that I feel others might find useful too.
In these posts, I want to share them with you.

Retiring for work: A lifetime serving the Lord
Peter and Christine Jensen have always cherished Ephesians 2:10: “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them”. As a result, over the decades, it is their daily prayer that they will “seek and find the good works that [God] have prepared for us to walk in”.
For the Jensens, work is not merely one’s paid occupation, but the service of one’s whole life. This means that the Christian school student works—as does the Christian retiree. This also means that a talk on this subject is for everyone.
Topics that will be addressed in this seminar include: time and how to use it; relationships and how our work serves others; age and how we can be active even if we are no longer able to leave home; aloneness and how we cope with loss; money and generosity; and hope and joy.
This is a joint event with The Gospel Coalition Australia.

We preach Christ crucified: Moore College Annual Lectures by JI Packer 1978
Moore College had the enormous privilege of having JI Packer deliver the 1978 Annual Lecture. This is a series of five lectures. The recordings are not always of great quality since they are from 1978, but they are definitely worth sticking with, and it’s such a joy that we have this excellent resource on video.
