Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology free on ITunes

I have recently finished listening to Wayne Grudem’s ITunes version of his book Systematic Theology. I found this a very helpful and balanced overview of the whole bible which normally has a Q&A at the end of each session. To receive it, click here

Another website to download the bible free of charge

I found this website today and thought I would share it with you. It called Audiotreasure. Also see the links below for other ways to get the bible free of charge and lets not forget those who do not readily have the bible at hand like the persecuted church.

Every Man’s Battle

OK, so summer has finally arrived in the UK (well sort of if you know anything about the British weather). For most single christian men (and dare I say some married also), that can only mean one thing. The battle with the flesh is intensified. Girls walking around in their skimpy outfits does not help a brother keep his mind on the Lord. In fact if we are honest, the mind of a man seems to have its own ‘mind’ and just reinforces the depravity of man. As sincere as we are, our minds sometime slip into lustful thoughts and some of us have been trapped by things such as pornagraphy and masturbation or the ‘Master Bait’ as one person put it. We cannot rebuke ‘in the name of Jesus’ the attraction towards the opposite sex as these feeling are God-given. As one person said, you cannot stop the birds from flying over your head but you can stop them making a nest there

So what can you do to help you overcome? Here are some practical steps which I hope will help

1. I think the first thing is to fill your mind with the word of God. The mind is where the battle starts and that is what has to be renewed by the washing of the word (Romans 12:2)
2. If you have to, keep busy if you find that boredom makes your mind go astray
3. Block TV channels. If you have to use a PIN to access certain channels, get a friend to block the channels on your behalf and not reveal the PIN to you. That way, even if you get tempted to ‘just put the PIN in’, you can’t. So in other words. ‘cut off your right hand’ (Matthew 54:30)
4. Use accountability software for your computer. X3watch is free accountability software designed to help with online integrity. When you browse the internet and access a site which may contain questionable material, the program will record the site name. A person of your choice (an accountability partner) will receive an email containing all questionable sites you may have visited. This information is meant to encourage open and honest conversation between friends and help you be more accountable to your online adventures
5. Avoid places and situations, if you can, that will just feed your lust and know your limits and dont try to justify it. Sin can be so deceiving (Hebrews 3:13)

These are just a few guidelines and are by no means exhaustive but I pray that it will help men, not only in the summer but throughout every season. It truly is a battle.

More studying for me to do in the future

Thanks to Daniel down there at Heart of Flesh, he has now made me aware of another thing for me to start studying after I finish The School of Biblical Evangelism as I mentioned before. (Or maybe I will study them side by side)

I am a firm believer that the gospel should be accessible to everyone and Reclaiming the Mind ministries have done just that by offering this theology course for self study, free of charge. You can download the course workbook and go at your own pace

As well as doing a self study for free, you can earn a certificate or you can view their lectures, where they have 263 Theology Questions and Answers on Video.

Happy studying
