I drive 32 miles to get to work. I drive 32 miles to get back home. Pretty neat how that works out. On an average day each of those trips takes me 45 minutes, and that adds up to 1.5 hours of wasted time, 5 days a week, 260 days a year for a total of 390 hours. Now imagine going to school full time and let’s say that between breaks and lunch time you were to get in an actual 6 hours of learning each day. If I were to divide my 390 hours by that I’d have 65 days of class or 13 weeks. So what I have with all this wasted time actually comes out to be a full semester of college class time.

And what have I been doing with it? Mostly listening to radio stations. Pop over to 102.7 and listen to an eclectic mix of 80′s and 90′s music. Hop on down to 630 AM, our local right leaning station, and catch the latest diatribes on how this latest election is going to sink the country. Slide in a CD and listen to the Man in Black. Switch back to FM and click the selector to 94.7 and listen to some classic rock, flip to 102.7 and start the process all over again. I kid you not that’s basically what I’ve been doing for a year and a half.

A few months ago the Unfettered one himself gave me a CD full of MP3′s. This was a series of exposes that John Piper adds to each year at his pastor’s conference titled: “Men of Whom The World Was Not Worthy”. This is a wonderful series on the major players in church history. Reading about the lives of men like David Brainerd, Charles Simeon and John Owen have been incredibly inspiring. I’ve now listened to this one CD 3 times and was itching to listen to something else.

• Jonathan Edwards
• Charles Simeon
• David Brainerd
• Martyn Lloyd-Jones
• William Cowper
• J. Gresham Machen
• John Owen
• Charles Spurgeon
• Martin Luther
• John Calvin
• St. Augustine
• John Bunyan
• John G. Paton
• William Wilberforce
• Adoniram Judson
• John Newton
• George Mueller
• Athanasius

Going to Monergism.com I began to graze thru the wealth of audio files that are available, and ran across Thomas Brownings series of lessons on Pauls Epistle to the Romans.
Pastor Browning (associate pastor at Arlington Presbyterian Church – Arlington, TX) has been an absolute wonder to listen to. There is something about his voice (sounds a lot like Fred Dalton Thompson) that’s easy on the ears. I’ve been enjoying his sense of humor and use of older somewhat archaic slang phrases. Most importantly his explanation of Romans has been eye opening. I honestly can’t say enough good things about it.

If you have any suggestions of other audio sermons or Bible study lessons how about leaving a comment.

Peace,
