This is just incredible.

Way to go, Billy B.

As a parent with kids who are more and more interested in the internet, I have become more and more interested in installing a content filter on the machines they use, but without having to pay as much as we do again for Internet access in the process. I have discovered K9 Web Protection as a good option for our Windows machines (and for you Mac elitists, there is a Mac beta, too), while DansGuardian has been a viable option for our Ubuntu Linux machines.

Of course, there is no substitute for parental supervision and involvement, but these programs can be useful safeguards as part of that process. Hope the suggestions prove helpful!

A neat little feature I just discovered is the Google Books Library. You can find a RSS feed and link on my sidebar. There are several full books available there, including some good old hymnals that some of my readers might find good reading. If you decide to start a library page yourself, please feel free to send me a link or post it in the comments below.

From BaylyBlog-

One thing presbyterians have over Baptists is that ‘presbyterians’ is an anagram of…

Britney Spears.

Many people have been asking about the installation service held at First Baptist Church of Marshall back on March 16. I have made the audio (and Pastor Mitchell’s generously provided PDF sermon text) here. I trust the messages will be a blessing to you. I know it is a day I will remember for years to come.

Now, LORD, inspire the preacher’s heart,

And teach his tongue to speak;

Food to the hungry soul impart,

And cordials to the weak.

Furnish us all with light and pow’rs

To walk in Wisdom’s ways;

So shall the benefit be ours,

And thou shalt have the praise.

-John Newton

Word on the street is Chris Anderson’s “My Jesus Fair” will be included on the next CD release from Sovereign Grace Music.

Nice work, Chris!

UPDATE: a “bootleg” photo of the “proud author” has come to my attention, presumably from the “launch party”?

Google has announced Virgle: The Adventure of Many Lifetimes…

I just read about airfarewatchdog.com. Looks like some pretty sweet deals…

My friend Ben Wright very graciously sent me a packet of helpful information on Baptism they use at Capitol Hill Baptist Church, where he is a member. The packet contained recordings of two messages delivered by their pastor, Mark Dever, back in April of 2002. You may listen to these messages here:

Part One

Part Two

I would be curious to read your thoughts after you listen. Dever presents a strong Baptist view, but also presents some practices of Baptism (particularly with children) that are not common in Baptist churches today.

Apparently it involves rock-climbing walls and serving kids communion…
