Psalm 119: Charles Bridges

WEBVTT

1
00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:07.839
Looking at our world from a theological
perspective. This is the Theology Central podcast

2
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:15.359
making Theology Central. Good afternoon everyone. It is Tuesday, June the twenty

3
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:20.519
fifth, twenty twenty four. It
is currently one twenty six pm Central Time,

4
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:26.600
and I am coming to you live
from the Theology Central studio located right

5
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:35.240
here in Abilene, Texas. Now
for this podcast, I try to do

6
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:39.560
a lot of different things. I
try to throw a lot of variety out

7
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:43.119
right. Sometimes I turn on the
microphone and well, I'll try to give

8
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:46.679
you a pop quiz. Sometimes I
turn on the microphone just give you assignments.

9
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:49.920
Right. It may be because we're
doing a Bible study exercise and I'll

10
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:53.039
be you know, a Bible study
exercise or something like that. I'm like,

11
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:55.759
okay, look this up. Do
this, use this Bible study method,

12
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:58.399
do this, do a word study, whatever the case may be.

13
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:00.960
Sometimes while I'm telling you, I'm
turning on the microphone telling you to go

14
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:06.159
listen to other people, you know, go listen to random sermons on the

15
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:11.200
sermons two point oh app There's so
many different things I try to do on

16
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.159
the podcast, a lot of variety. I don't know if the average listener

17
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.319
even notices all of the variety.
I don't know if the average listener even

18
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:23.200
cares. I mean, I look, it's easy to take what I mean,

19
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:27.879
You've got so much content available to
you. I don't even know how

20
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:34.079
much the average listener really even pays
attention to what a podcaster is attempting to

21
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:37.159
do, right, I think as
a podcaster, you can you can make

22
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:42.239
yourself think you're more important than you
really are, because the reality is,

23
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:46.959
you're just another voice and an ocean
of voices. You're just content, and

24
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:51.200
an ocean of content and a universe
of content. You're just a You're just

25
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:55.439
like a little speck of sand,
right, I mean, you're You're really

26
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:59.560
not that significant, no matter how
even no matter all the numbers, even

27
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:05.159
if you have giant numbers, it
really doesn't translate into actually being significant because

28
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.319
a lot of people just tune in
like they tune into anything else. They

29
00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:12.000
could take it or leave it.
If it was to disappear tomorrow, they

30
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:16.319
wouldn't even notice. And that's just
the reality. So I don't know if

31
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:20.960
people pay attention to all the different
things I try to do, But I

32
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:27.280
do try a lot of different things. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.

33
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:31.719
Sometimes I like doing them. Sometimes
I'm conflicted, and this is one

34
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:37.520
of those broadcasts. I'm going to
be somewhat conflicted because there are times that

35
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.000
I just like to turn on the
microphone really to provide you information. Say,

36
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:44.520
hey, go check this out.
Hey, this is now available,

37
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:49.479
like the Charles Stanley Institute. That
was more information I told everyone about it.

38
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:53.240
There's different times I just kind of
point you to resources or tell you

39
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:55.719
about something, or hey, this
book is out now. Sometimes I can

40
00:02:55.759 --> 00:03:00.759
find a way to provide some kind
of teaching in it, but in many

41
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:06.479
cases it's just turning on the microphone
and providing information. I don't know if

42
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.240
that's beneficial. I hope it is. But this is one of those cases

43
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:16.080
that while I was checking my email
inbox and while I received some information,

44
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:22.879
I was somewhat confused by the information
I received. So then I did a

45
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.599
little bit of research. I'm like, wait a minute, maybe I should

46
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:31.680
tell everyone about this so that they
can choose which direction they want to go

47
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:37.039
because they could possibly save a whole
lot of money. Okay, so all

48
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.479
right, so are you ready a
little bit of information? Now many of

49
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:44.039
you, I'm assumed, I assume
have read the Bible, and so you're

50
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:50.400
very familiar with Psalm one nineteen.
Psalm one nineteen. This amazing psalm it

51
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.879
is. I mean, we can
look at it really quick, Psalm one

52
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:58.159
nineteen. I've done teaching on some
one nineteen. I think my teaching on

53
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:02.319
Some one nineteen was pretty decent.
I could probably do better if I put

54
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:05.319
forth the effort. Maybe at some
point, maybe by the end of the

55
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:10.159
summer, we'll make some one nineteen
a focus for a couple of weeks.

56
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:17.600
But Some one nineteen has one hundred
and seventy six verses. Psalm one nineteen

57
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:23.399
has one hundred and seventy six verses, So that makes it a very lengthy

58
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:27.720
Psalm. But what's so fascinating about
it is most believe that out of those

59
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:31.199
one hundred and seventy six verses,
the majority, almost maybe ninety eight ninety

60
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:36.800
nine percent of them really point to
are and they are about the Word of

61
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:42.519
God. They are about the scriptures
themselves, they're about the Law of God.

62
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:46.160
There's lots of different phrases used,
but they're describing the Word of God.

63
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:49.639
One hundred and seventy six verses talking
about the Word of God. So

64
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:55.839
there's been plenty of sermons on Psalm
one nineteen, and lots of books written

65
00:04:55.879 --> 00:05:01.639
about Psalm one nineteen, and lots
of commentaries on You should be familiar with

66
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:05.879
many of them. But if a
new one supposedly comes out, well,

67
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:11.040
not really a new one, a
new old one has supposedly made its return

68
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:15.720
so that you can grab this classic
book that I guess disappeared but is back.

69
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:19.000
You may want to know about it, right, maybe, Well,

70
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:26.600
here's what happened. Let me explain
right. I received an email at twelve

71
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:32.680
seventeen pm twelve seventeen pm today,
June the twenty fifth, so a little

72
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:43.240
over an hour ago. The subject
line was Charles Bridges someone nineteen is back.

73
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:49.519
Wait, Charles Bridges some one nineteen
is back now. Immediately I had

74
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:55.000
to stop and go wait a minute, when did Charles Bridges someone nineteen ever

75
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:58.720
go away? I must have missed
this memo it Now, if you don't

76
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:00.199
know who Charles Bridges is, we'll
talk about it, but just just say

77
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:04.920
Charles Bridges is an author of a
commentary on Psalm one nineteen that is highly

78
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:10.040
respected. Some may refer to it
as a classic. So I'm like,

79
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:13.240
well, wait a minute, when
did his commentary go away? I thought

80
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:16.519
it was always available. I'm like, I'm a little perplexed. Like I

81
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:23.120
know, I have looked at Charles
Bridges on Some one nineteen multiple times.

82
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:28.240
I don't know if I would ever
even put it in my favorite I don't

83
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.920
know. Maybe I did, maybe
I didn't. I would have to go

84
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:32.480
back and look at it. It's
been a while, but I just like,

85
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:38.240
when did it go away? And
who's bringing it back? So here's

86
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:43.120
the information again. This was sent
to me at twelve seventeen pm, June

87
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:46.759
the twenty fifth. Again the subject
line Charles Bridges Psalm one nineteen is back.

88
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.279
And again I'm a little confused.
This email comes to me from the

89
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:55.839
Banner of Truth. Banner of Truth. Now, Banner of Truth puts out

90
00:06:55.879 --> 00:07:00.759
some amazing resources. Banner of Truth
really focuses on pure books right. In

91
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:04.639
fact, they have the famous Puritan
paperbacks. If you can get a collection

92
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:09.199
of those, I think everyone should
have them. I don't remember how many

93
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:12.120
is in the total set. It's
a what thirty thirty five, I don't

94
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:17.160
even remember twenty twenty five. At
my church we've had most of the Puritan

95
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:20.439
paperbacks in the library at different times. I think now most of them have

96
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:25.360
disappeared and are gone. People take
them and they never they never come back.

97
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:28.879
But that's okay. My joke is
take the book as long as you're

98
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:30.319
using it, I don't care if
it ever comes back, right. So,

99
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:34.160
because we've tried throughout the years of
the church to try to provide as

100
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:39.360
many resources in the library as possible. Now, if I'm just being painfully,

101
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:44.439
painfully painfully honest and kind of blunt
and rude, it really was an

102
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:46.680
exercise in futility because if I take
all the books that have been in the

103
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:50.560
library and go tell you how many
have actually ever been taken out of the

104
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:57.720
library read or used. Most of
the time it's me taking the books out

105
00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:01.680
of the library and using them.
Would say ninety eight percent of the books

106
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:07.240
have never even been touched, okay, which once again goes back to content.

107
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:09.480
You've got so much available, why
do you need it there? And

108
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:13.279
it's kind of sad. It's kind
of sad, Like you know, I'm

109
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.240
kind of wish there would be someone
like, hey, you've got a library

110
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:18.199
your church, nobody's using it.
I'll come get all the books, Come

111
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:22.759
get them all. You can have
the bookshelves. You can have every single

112
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.360
book and the library you can have
everything that's there, okay and not And

113
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:30.000
some of the books we have in
the library we would strongly disagree with.

114
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:35.000
But we have them there for resource
or research purposes and for people to could

115
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.759
we can really you know, we
can refer to them at any time.

116
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:41.159
But for the most part they've just
been I mean, I don't think it.

117
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:43.200
I don't think there's any way to
get around it. They have not

118
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:48.600
been utilized very well. I think
at one time we even had all we

119
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:52.480
had lots of books by Banner of
Truth published by Banner of Truth. But

120
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:56.799
I think at one time we even
had a Charles bridges En some one nineteen

121
00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:01.799
commentary in the library. So it's
currently gone on, but I I I'm

122
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.840
pretty sure it's there. We've had
the fun of the Fundamentals. I've talked

123
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.559
about those four volume that four volume
set forever, and you've heard me in

124
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:13.240
sermon after sermon after sermon after sermon
after sermon after sermon after sermon. Tell

125
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.919
everyone in my church read the Fundamentals, Read the Fundamentals, read them read.

126
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.279
And yet those four books still sit
at the table behind the pulpit,

127
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:30.879
and they have yet to ever be
borrowed for used. So I don't know

128
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:33.440
what does that tell you. I
don't know. I don't know what that

129
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.159
tells you. But char the banner
of truth that if you can get the

130
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:39.960
Puritan paperbacks, I think they're well
worth it. Do I agree with everything

131
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:45.759
the Puritans did? Obviously? Not? Okay? I mean you know how

132
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:48.759
much I love Salem, Massachusetts?
Right, That's that's a good example.

133
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.759
If we're purit Puritism didn't even follow
their own rules. Okay, they lost

134
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:58.120
their minds, Okay, they they
just went absolutely crazy. We could talk

135
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:03.799
about how Puritan puritan got everything wrong
and Salem, okay, but I am

136
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:09.960
always fascinated. I've always had a
On one hand, I've always been defensive

137
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:16.399
of the Puritans because I think they're
misrepresented. In many cases, there's always

138
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:18.240
kind of like a you know,
Puritan. You know, when you talk

139
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.960
about the Puritans or your Puritanical view
on purity or whatever the case may be,

140
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:28.639
it's always stated almost as a something
negative. Right, It's not like

141
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:33.120
a Puritan or Puritanism is not necessarily
stated as something good. We can talk

142
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:37.559
about Puritans in there, dislike for
Christmas all right, wait, we can

143
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:41.759
do we can do a lot of
discussion about But I've always been like,

144
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:45.879
in some ways want to defend them
because I feel like people misrepresent them.

145
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:50.000
And there used to be a magazine
called Christian History that I used to subscribe

146
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:54.399
to. I loved that magazine,
and they dedicated an entire issue to the

147
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.600
Puritans and Puritanism, and I loved
it because it was a lot like they

148
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:03.120
had an entire, like two pay
age layout of all the misconceptions and myths

149
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:09.080
about the Puritans, and I loved
that. That always gave me an ability

150
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.080
to somewhat try to defend them.
But on the other hand, a lot

151
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:18.600
of thing about the Puritans that I
very much dislike. So I can find

152
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:22.480
myself defending them, and then I
can find myself criticizing them, especially when

153
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.399
it comes to Salem, Massachusetts and
the witch trials. I have some very

154
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:31.759
negative feelings about how things went down
there. At the same time, the

155
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:39.440
more you kind of understand what had
been happening in Salem and how you know,

156
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:43.120
there had been a lot of people
dying because of disease and a lot

157
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.639
of you can kind of see that
there was maybe just a great amount of

158
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:50.600
fear and concern, and especially if
you have in your mindset that if bad

159
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:54.080
things are happening, it's Satan,
and if good things are happening, it's

160
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:58.360
God. We can get into a
whole discussion right there, but the say

161
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.360
all of bad, right, Just
trying to add a little bit, Remember

162
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:03.879
I said this is going to be, you know, just kind of providing

163
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:07.600
information here, one of those episodes
where I feel like I may not be

164
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:11.399
accomplishing much, but so I'll try
to throw in a little extra there.

165
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:16.159
But the point is is I think
every Christian should be very familiar with the

166
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:18.320
Puritans. I mean, it's a
very important part of church history, their

167
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:22.919
theology, their writings, and the
one things about the Puritans not only did

168
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:26.360
they write a lot. Now,
now the difficult thing about it, they

169
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:31.440
wrote a lot, but sometimes they
were ways so wordy that it makes it

170
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:35.919
very difficult. One of my great
regrets, one of my I feel like

171
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:45.279
my great failures right as a broadcaster
as a teacher, is I have yet

172
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:52.399
to ever be able to really take
the Christian in complete armor right this classic

173
00:12:52.799 --> 00:13:00.120
Puritan book dealing with spiritual warfare.
I have never been able to act to

174
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:05.639
really find a way to teach it
in a way that's beneficial. I've owned

175
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:11.480
The Christian and Complete Armor and so
many different sets, so many different like

176
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:16.200
the full work, the works that
were kind of edited down to make it

177
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:24.639
easier, modernized, original language,
everything. And I have attempted multiple times

178
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:28.440
to turn on a microphone and try
to teach through it, and I fell

179
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:33.600
miserably. The way it is written, the verbiage. There's words that I'm

180
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:35.720
like, wait a minute, what
in the world are they talking about?

181
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:41.519
At times, and it's just it. I can read it, but it's

182
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:43.600
very different than sitting there in a
microphone trying to go, okay, well

183
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:46.200
all right they use this word,
well, this word means like you've got

184
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:50.720
to do hours of really prep work
to try to kind of just say here's

185
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:54.440
the section and here's the specific thing. We're not going to read all of

186
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:56.919
it. And a lot of times
I'd just like to work through the book

187
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:01.159
word for words. So I still
regret that I would. I wish one

188
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:05.240
day I could, you know,
find a way to accomplish that. And

189
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:09.799
if I remember correctly, I believe
the Christian in Complete Armor. I think

190
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:15.639
it's published by Benner of Truth.
I could be wrong. I'm looking around

191
00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:18.879
the room to see if I have
a copy anywhere. They may be in

192
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.600
the church library, but I know
I have the volume somewhere because I have

193
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:28.480
attempted multiple times and every time it
just fails miserably. So it's one of

194
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:35.320
those like maybe before I die,
I can do something meaningful and tangible with

195
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:41.639
that series of books. But the
point is that's the Puritans. Banner of

196
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:45.799
Truth puts out Puritan books. Okay, So there's a little bit about it

197
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:50.480
now. So under the heading is
Charles Bridges some one nineteen is back again.

198
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:52.919
I never knew it departed, but
okay, Charles Bridge. Charles Bridges

199
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:58.759
wrote this a classic commentary on some
one nineteen. The email comes to me

200
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:03.519
from Banner of Truth Org. And
then underneath that there's a picture of the

201
00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:07.639
book. It's the there's next to
it. Unfortunately it looks like a pin

202
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.879
versus a pencil. So you already
know Banner of Truth it's heretical, okay,

203
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:15.000
but it looks like a pin.
Then there's the book right there some

204
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:20.639
one nineteen an exposition Charles Bridges looks
like a beautiful cover on it hardback.

205
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.240
Right next to that that looks unfortunately
a cup of coffee. I don't know

206
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:28.960
who drinks coffee. You know,
you're if you got a pin and coffee,

207
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.399
you're just basically of Antichrist. If
you've got both of thay was going

208
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:37.519
on, pen and coffee, you
just you know you you you cannot even

209
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:41.000
be saved. Okay, all right? But there's the photograph and then underneath

210
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:48.559
that it says someone nineteen back in
stock. First published in eighteen twenty seven,

211
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:54.320
when Charles Bridges was just thirty three
years of age, This masterful exposition

212
00:15:54.399 --> 00:16:00.320
of Psalm one nineteen is worth its
weight in gold. According to Charles Rolls

213
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:06.960
Hadden Spurgeon, Bridges uses the Psalm, structured according to the letters of the

214
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:15.039
Hebrew alphabet, to teach both the
ABC of Christian experience and the maturity to

215
00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:22.039
which that experience must lead. That
sounds pretty fascinating, right, How did

216
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:26.679
he structure it? What was he
hoping to accomplish? Now the book originally

217
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:30.600
is normally thirty five dollars. They
currently have it in stock and they're selling

218
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:37.039
it for twenty eight dollars. Now
again, I was somewhat perplexed. Why

219
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:41.320
is it back? It's always been
it's always there. So if you go

220
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:45.080
to Amazon dot com right now,
and I don't want to take away any

221
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:48.279
business from Banner of Truth, but
a lot of people may have a hard

222
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:52.399
time dropping basically with shipping and everything
that's going to be over thirty dollars,

223
00:16:52.720 --> 00:17:00.200
you may have a hard time dropping
over thirty dollars for this book. May

224
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:03.279
have a hard time doing You may
be like, man thirty bucks, I

225
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:04.759
got this to pay or I got
this to do. I got this to

226
00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:08.000
do so. But at the same
time, it's a classic book that everyone

227
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:14.319
should have access to right now.
If I there were times in this podcast

228
00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:17.920
where I had far more money so
we gave away books. So if it

229
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:19.960
was up to me right now,
I'd be doing a book giveaway and giving

230
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:23.400
away copies of the book. But
you know, I don't have the money

231
00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:26.480
to do so. Again, I
always say, the more money that comes

232
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:30.279
in, the more things I can
do. But at this point in time,

233
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:33.039
I don't have the ability to do
that. So I went on Amazon

234
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:37.599
dot com and I just typed in
Charles Bridges some one nineteen immediately The first

235
00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:42.799
one that shows up an exposition of
some one nineteen by Charles Bridges for the

236
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:52.160
Kindle ninety nine cents for paperback eleven
dollars and ninety five cents, and for

237
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:56.519
hardcover twenty seven dollars. So if
you have a kindle, or even if

238
00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:59.640
you don't have a kindle, the
kindle app you can actually have access to

239
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:02.799
the book for ninety nine cents.
If you go down. They have another

240
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:07.400
version for the kendle for four dollars
and ninety nine cents they have, and

241
00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:12.000
that one comes forty dollars for the
hardcover. You can look down there they

242
00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:18.799
have another one exposition of Some one
nineteen, a classic reprint and illustrative as

243
00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:23.279
illustrative of the character and exercise of
Christian experience, paperback twenty five dollars.

244
00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:29.720
So they have it and a number
of different formats and available in a lot

245
00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:34.519
of different ways. Here's Someone nineteen
an exposition new edition. Well that one

246
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:37.920
they don't have it. I'm sorry
it's not available current. Well, no,

247
00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:41.480
they have it for if you want
to buy a used copy for almost

248
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:44.519
sixty dollars. So, I mean, some of these are just ridiculous,

249
00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:48.039
right, I mean, but you
can get a copy of the book itself

250
00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:52.359
for relatively cheap. I would challenge
you now if you want to support Banner

251
00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:57.680
of Truth and their work to constantly
try to preserve and reprint and publish the

252
00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:02.079
works of the Puritans, then by
all means buy it from Banner of Truth,

253
00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:03.599
because in a roundabout way, you're
not like getting the book, but

254
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:07.160
you're helping support them. All right, But if you want a copy of

255
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:12.359
the book and you don't have thirty
something dollars, go on Amazon dot com

256
00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:18.240
type in Charles Bridges Psalm one nineteen
and you can get a copy and it's

257
00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:23.359
relatively cheap. In fact, I
did just that. I think I have

258
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:26.400
a number of copies of it in
my library. In fact, let me

259
00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:30.559
go to my kindle app. I'm
going to the kindle app on my iPad,

260
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:34.400
my actual kindles over there, charging
because I need to finish a novel

261
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:37.720
that I started a long time ago
and I'm way behind on. But all

262
00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:44.200
right, but right, so here's
the preface. All right, and see

263
00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:48.319
here what they have here. It
looks like a lot of introductory material which

264
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:52.599
would be beneficial. Okay, another
they got all okay, And then here's

265
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:56.279
part one. Blessed are the undefiled
in the way who walk in the law

266
00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:02.079
of the Lord. This most interesting
and instructive song like the Psalter itself opens

267
00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:07.359
with a beatitude for our comfort and
encouragement, directing us immediately to that happiness

268
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:12.519
which all mankind, in different ways
are seeking and inquiring. After all would

269
00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:18.720
secure themselves from the incursions of misery, but all do not consider that misery

270
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:22.240
is the offspring of sin, from
which therefore it is necessary to be delivered

271
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:27.039
and preserved in order to become happy
or blessed. And actually, Charles Bridges,

272
00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:32.880
there is quoting from someone else,
right, So but there's part one,

273
00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:37.000
and yeah, you should have a
copy of it, and you should

274
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:40.759
start looking at it and start reading
it. If I go back to the

275
00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:45.759
email from Betner Oftruth dot org,
this is what they say underneath it.

276
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:49.240
So then they have they have a
picture of the book. They have that

277
00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:53.279
little paragraph that I've read to you. Then they have a picture of I'm

278
00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:56.960
assuming that, Charles Bridges. And
then underneath that it says, and I

279
00:20:57.079 --> 00:21:03.400
quote, think what think, what
good reason there is to love the law?

280
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:08.400
It is the epistle of our most
beloved friend, not to be slided,

281
00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:15.000
but to be placed and our bosom
nearest, our hearts, Charles Bridges.

282
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:18.880
Then they have some more pictures of
the book. They have some more

283
00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:22.839
pictures of the book, and then
they say what readers are saying. The

284
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:26.200
first review comes from someone by the
name of Beverly, and they say this,

285
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:30.279
I have always understood that Someone nineteen
is about the Word of God.

286
00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:36.559
What I'm finding in Bridges is that
it is about how the Christian experiences the

287
00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:41.319
Word of God, and about one
hundred and seventy six ways. He finds

288
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:45.920
the essence of a verse and shows
the truth of it from many other scriptures,

289
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:49.640
using illustrations where appropriate. He shows
how the verse fits with the previous

290
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:55.240
verse. He is very christ centered
throughout, showing the necessity and effects of

291
00:21:55.279 --> 00:22:02.680
the Gospel on the Christian. Someone
else their review is this is a very

292
00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:07.279
practical commentary. The author had deep
union with God and deep understanding of his

293
00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:11.279
word. He had a New Testament
perspective on the Psalm. His theology is

294
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:15.200
evangelical. I have found helpful insights
in this book, and I'm always amazed

295
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:18.759
at the ability of Charles Bridges to
find many connections of each verse with other

296
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:25.480
Bible passages. This is the commentary
which will never become out of date.

297
00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:29.279
And then one other this book is
wonderful. I've used it as a devotional

298
00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:33.039
reading and just read one verse a
day. So good for the soul,

299
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:38.799
very heartwarming, so better of truth. I guess it was out of print.

300
00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:41.960
I don't know it's back. Maybe
they did not have any copies.

301
00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:45.160
I don't know it's back. I'm
just perplexed that it's like it's back.

302
00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:49.440
It never went away. You can
there are websites. I guarantee you there

303
00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:53.559
are websites where you can read Charles
A. Bridge's commentary on Someone nineteen for

304
00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:59.279
free. I guarantee you there are. You can probably find a PDF version

305
00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:02.880
in five seconds. So it's kind
of weird that they're saying it's back,

306
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:07.839
you know. And again the subject
line Charles Bridges, someone nineteen is back,

307
00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:12.200
and then underneath the picture of the
book, someone nineteen back in stock.

308
00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:18.240
So it's back in stock for bannerotruth
dot org. But the book has

309
00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:21.160
always been present. And again,
I want to on one end, I

310
00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:25.680
want to support Banner of Truth because
I'm very grateful for them preserving and keeping

311
00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:29.200
and continuing to publish these classic books. I think you could probably go to

312
00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:36.640
monogism dot com. In fact,
let me I think I think that's where

313
00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:37.799
I first got my copy of the
book. Hang on, I'm going to

314
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:49.079
monogism monogism dot com. Maybe if
I could spell monogism. There we go

315
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:52.920
monogism dot com. All right,
and then you can see where do they

316
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:59.920
have it here? U hang on? Start here? Okay, free books.

317
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:06.240
You should get the monogism dot com
app if you can. But okay,

318
00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:07.640
here's free books. I'm just going
to do a search. I'm going

319
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:15.400
to type in some one nineteen.
Yeah, here we go, exposition of

320
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:21.960
some one nineteen E book. There
it is. So you can download it

321
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:26.960
in an EPUB format, a MBI
format, or a PDF format and it's

322
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:33.880
free. So there you have it. I mean, yeah, so you

323
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:37.119
you can get the book for free
if you want to go to monogism dot

324
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:41.279
com and just type in some one
nineteen and I think the first thing that

325
00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:45.480
shows up is Charles Bridge's Exposition of
some one nineteen because it's such a classic

326
00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:48.160
book. So yeah, I mean, if you want to buy the one

327
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:52.759
from Banner of Truth, it looks
really really nice and it probably looks great.

328
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:56.079
And if you like a hardback coopy, then I would change order it

329
00:24:56.119 --> 00:25:00.400
from Banner of Truth and and help
support them. But if you're just looking

330
00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:07.720
for the classic commentary on some one
nineteen, then Charles Bridges. Now I'm

331
00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:11.440
doing this to inform you, to
point you to the resource through in a

332
00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:18.839
little bit of information. But most
likely then what I will do, I'll

333
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:23.079
try to make it a priority.
I'll try to pull some things from his

334
00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:27.920
commentary on some one nineteen and we'll
use it either in a devotional message or

335
00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:33.559
we'll do it as a Oh,
we could use some one nineteen for our

336
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:37.240
sermon's two point zero app sermon challenge. We could do that. Well,

337
00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:40.359
we'll find a way to utilize it
in some way, shape or form.

338
00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:45.839
So find a copy of some of
Charles Bridge's commentary on some one nineteen.

339
00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:49.759
If you cannot find a copy or
you don't know what to do, email

340
00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:56.559
me Newsif at yahoo dot com,
that's Newsif at Yahoo dot com. What

341
00:25:56.680 --> 00:26:00.880
I may do is I may send
a link out in the Church one app.

342
00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:04.880
It's you know, the notices,
they call them notices. It'll show

343
00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:10.200
up like a push notification. You'll
get a notification on your device if you

344
00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:11.480
are you know, if you have
the Church one app and you've made us

345
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:17.599
theology central as your chosen broadcaster.
It basically turns it into our app.

346
00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:19.319
So then I can send out a
notice. I can send out a notice

347
00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:22.599
with a link to moneargism dot com
and then you can just have a copy

348
00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:26.200
of the book for free. Now
I'm not trying to take away the business

349
00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:30.720
from Better of Truth. But again, maybe you've got thirty dollars you can

350
00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:33.119
drop on a book. Maybe you
do, And if you do, that's

351
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:38.920
absolutely great, that's awesome. Give
them your support. Okay, that's wonderful.

352
00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:42.079
But if you don't, you still
need to be able to have access

353
00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:45.559
to the book, right. I
mean, if it's a classic book and

354
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:48.519
it can help benefit you spiritually,
then let's get it into your hands.

355
00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:53.200
And so I may send out that
notice here in a little bit. But

356
00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:59.440
there you have it. That's Some
one nineteen by Charles Bridges, famous famous

357
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:03.599
book. You can read the introductory
material within the book, and I think

358
00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:07.240
then you know, like I could
offer some background information, but I mean

359
00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:10.960
all of it's right there. It's
all right there, So I would basically

360
00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:15.079
be borrowing from it. I could
basically read it to you, but you

361
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:21.599
should read it for yourself. Does
that sound good? And I see this

362
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:23.720
is where I always end. I'm
like, man, should I have done

363
00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:29.200
that broadcast? I didn't really do
any teaching, But the goal here was

364
00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:33.359
not to teach. The goal was
just to inform. So there you have

365
00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:37.160
it. If you do get emails
from Banner of Truth, you've already seen

366
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:41.960
that email today, and well you
now know. And if anyone ever talks

367
00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:45.839
about some one nineteen, you can
say, well have you read the commentary

368
00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:49.000
of some one nineteen? But Charles
Bridges, now some people believe his approach

369
00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:52.200
is very unique. You can tell
me what you think, you know what

370
00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:56.440
it's okay. I know this is
going to come as a shock. Hey,

371
00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:03.559
come here, get get close to
your speaker. Sometimes these books that

372
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:11.039
everyone says is a classic and that
they're so amazing, sometimes they're really not

373
00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:18.359
that good. I said it.
I know I'm not supposed to look the

374
00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:22.599
first time I came into this realization, I didn't know what to do because

375
00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:26.519
I kept being told by everyone my
Utmost for His Highest, by as a

376
00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:32.079
Oswald Chambers. I believe my Utmost
for His Highest that's the greatest devotional ever.

377
00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:34.279
You've got to get a copy.
So I went to the Bible bookstore

378
00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:38.240
in Abilene, Texas bought a copy
and after about five days of using it,

379
00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:42.680
I'm like, this is trash.
This, this is horrible. First,

380
00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:47.519
his theology seems completely whacked. From
the people suggesting it, I don't

381
00:28:47.559 --> 00:28:49.759
know why you suggested it, and
I know I can't stand it. There's

382
00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:52.920
been a lot of times people like
this is the classic book, and I'm

383
00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:57.599
like, uh, what is the
deal? And sometimes I just don't understand.

384
00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:02.480
I mean, everybody thinks Morning and
Evening by Charles Hadden Spurgeon as the

385
00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:10.519
greatest devotional ever written. I'm sorry
what he does to those scriptures. I

386
00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:14.559
mean, come on, man,
and now, it's very poetic, it's

387
00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:21.119
he's very good with language, and
he and it sounds very pious and spiritual.

388
00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:23.599
But you spend a year in Morning
and Evening by Charles Haddon Spurgeon,

389
00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:27.880
I don't think you're gonna understand any
of the verses he uses in his devotional

390
00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:30.759
material. I don't think you're gonna
understand those verses at all. I know,

391
00:29:32.079 --> 00:29:34.079
I know i'm gonna be people are
gonna yell at me, but I

392
00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:37.519
mean I've tried. I mean,
there have been numerous times at the beginning

393
00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:41.480
of a year, i'd buy a
notebook, a pencil, and a copy

394
00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:44.759
a hardback copy of Morning and Evening
by Charles Headen Spurgeon. I'm like,

395
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:47.559
I'm gonna go through this all year. Usually by the time I get to

396
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:52.440
the end of January February, I'm
already like I'm losing my mind. I'm

397
00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:56.599
like, this is insane. Charles
Heddon Spurgeon do something with the actual verse.

398
00:29:57.000 --> 00:30:00.640
You just take it into and oh, especially when it gets into the

399
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:03.599
Song of Solomon, Oh my goodness, gracious, it's just like, what

400
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:08.000
is this. Oh it drives me
crazy. So it's okay. If you

401
00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:12.400
look at Charles Bridges and you're kind
of like, I'm not so sure about

402
00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:18.079
this, that's okay. That's okay, it's okay. You won't lose rewards

403
00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:22.519
in heaven for being critical of what
some people call is a Christian classic.

404
00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:29.039
I mean, this is a secret
just between you and I, Okay,

405
00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:33.400
So you can't tell anybody else.
My whole Christian life, I have been

406
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:41.000
told over and over and over and
over again that the Lord of the Rings

407
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:48.119
is the greatest thing ever written.
I have been told that over and over

408
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:55.599
and over and over again, the
Lord of the Rings is ultimate hot trash.

409
00:30:56.200 --> 00:31:00.359
I would rather watch a dumpster fire
than read The Lord of the Rings.

410
00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:04.240
It is trash. The movies were
trash, the books are trash.

411
00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:07.200
I don't like anything. And I
know you're like, oh, you can't

412
00:31:07.240 --> 00:31:10.960
say that. You can't say that
because they act like The Lord of the

413
00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:14.400
Rings is like I don't know,
right there next to the Trinity that it

414
00:31:14.519 --> 00:31:18.000
was inspired by God. And if
you criticize it, then basically your Christianity

415
00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:22.240
is called into question. It's like, every Christian should read The Lord of

416
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:26.920
the Rings because it's this beautiful Christian
analogy and allegory. And you're like,

417
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:30.720
come on, try to explain.
Just stop, you're just throwing stuff in

418
00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:36.000
there. Oh just drives me absolutely
mad. So hey, it's perfectly okay

419
00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:40.559
that if you look at Charles Bridges. Yeah, Charles Bridges, I was

420
00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:45.359
gonna say, Charles Hodge, Charles
Bridges and his commentary and his exposition of

421
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:48.680
someone nineteen, you may look at
it and go, hmm, don't I

422
00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:52.720
don't get it. What's why is
this book so praised by so many?

423
00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:57.519
Or you may go, wow,
that was amazing, because a lot of

424
00:31:57.559 --> 00:32:01.599
times what you like and dislike is
very, very subjective. No, I

425
00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:06.039
think objectively, Lord of the Rings
is a dumpster fire. But that's my

426
00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:09.759
own that's that's my own objective truth, right. I mean, well it's

427
00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:13.640
just true. Okay, I'm joking. I'm joking, but no, it

428
00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:17.240
can be very subjective. But I
think sometimes we get caught up into this

429
00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:21.839
is this is the book. Everyone, Oh, oh, you've got to

430
00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:23.559
read that. You've got to read
that. I don't how many times I've

431
00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:27.720
had Christian. It's usually Christian.
Oh, you've got to read that.

432
00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:30.039
That's like the best. And then
you read it and you're like, I

433
00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:34.440
can't even tell how many times I
was told Matthew Henry's commentary, Matthew Henry's

434
00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:37.680
commentary, and I would go back
to them, going, you you're this

435
00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:42.720
is like what this Everything he says
in Isaiah or Ezekiel goes against everything you

436
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:45.799
believe about Isaiah and Ezekiel. He
doesn't believe that's Israel. He believes that's

437
00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:51.599
the Church. I mean, what
do you do? You're you're premeal dispensationalist,

438
00:32:51.640 --> 00:32:54.640
and you're you think Matthew Henry is
the greatest commentary ever written. Are

439
00:32:54.680 --> 00:32:59.839
you drinking something? I think a
lot of times. What I have discovered

440
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:02.759
is that people just they get oh, that's the book, and so they

441
00:33:02.799 --> 00:33:07.480
just continue to promote the book and
they've never even actually read it. I

442
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:09.640
don't know how many times in my
Christian life somebody thought, hey, you've

443
00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:12.640
got to read this, and they
hand me the book and I would come

444
00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:17.839
back going, you gave me this
book to promote your KJV only belief.

445
00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:22.880
This book contradicts you. But what
are you doing? Or or as I

446
00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:29.400
got in trouble because my church in
Nebraska kept handing out every quarter sermons by

447
00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:32.880
Charles Hadden Spurgeon, and so I
picked them up and read every single word.

448
00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:37.559
And then when I started calling,
when I started kind of moving towards

449
00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:40.000
a Calvinistic understanding of salvation, I
almost got thrown out of the church.

450
00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:44.920
And I'm like, you were literally
handing me the sermons by Charles heading Spurgeon

451
00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:49.240
that taught Calvinism, and now you're
gonna throw someone out of the church.

452
00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:52.359
And then they were all like,
wait, they did you handed them out?

453
00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:58.279
Did you not read them? So
it's so weird how sometimes in Christianity,

454
00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:05.440
like some books just get elevated to
like these are the books. Well,

455
00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:08.320
sometimes they're not as good as you
tell me they are. And sometimes

456
00:34:08.360 --> 00:34:16.000
it's you haven't even read them yourself. Okay, So but Charles Bridges exposition

457
00:34:16.039 --> 00:34:22.800
of Some one nineteen, highly regarded, well respected, recommended by many.

458
00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:28.559
Does it live up to the hype. Well, we'll probably do more discussing

459
00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:31.199
about it, But mainly I want
you to go get a copy so that

460
00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:35.159
you can have a copy, and
I want you to be able to get

461
00:34:35.159 --> 00:34:37.960
a copy up to your choice.
You can get it from betteroftruth dot org.

462
00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:43.000
Support them, be about thirty something
dollars for a hard back copy.

463
00:34:43.159 --> 00:34:46.719
Probably will look beautiful, awesome,
will look great in your bookshelf and collection,

464
00:34:47.719 --> 00:34:52.199
probably will get years of use out
of it, and by all means

465
00:34:52.239 --> 00:34:54.039
do that cause you can support them. But if you don't have thirty dollars,

466
00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:59.239
or you'd rather send me thirty dollars, I'm joking. I'm joking,

467
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:04.159
you can get a copy of the
book for free or for like ninety nine

468
00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:07.679
cents for your kindle. Right,
so you find a copy, look at

469
00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:12.519
it, and then email me newsif
at yahoo dot com, newsif at yahoo

470
00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:15.599
dot com. And here's what I
want to know. It lives up to

471
00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:21.400
the hype or I don't get it. I don't really get it. I

472
00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:23.079
would love to know your thoughts.
Thanks for listening everyone, Have a great

473
00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:29.559
day. This has been another informative
episode of the Theology Central podcast. I

474
00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:31.000
know I hate these episodes. I
always feel like I let you down,

475
00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:36.440
but my job here is just to
provide information. Hopefully it will be beneficial.

476
00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:37.519
Have a great day. God bless
