Every once in a while I hear a song that is so beautiful I can’t help but listen to it over and over. This is one those songs: “Jesus, I Am Resting, Resting,” sung by Alisa Dishong. Here is a 45-second sample in MP3 format: (more…)

Alisa Dishong: “Jesus, I Am Resting, Resting”
Sunday, February 22nd, 2009Melissa Otto Band
Sunday, February 3rd, 2008The Melissa Otto Band was at 3ABN for a while. It was the first time I’d heard them, although they told me they were at the last GYC. I really enjoyed their music. The group has five members, four of whom are brothers and sisters. It’s cool to see a family sharing in ministry like that.
It was great having them join my adult lesson study class on Sabbath as well. They made some great contributions to the discussion. And turns out that at least one member of the family, Billy, knows my brother Eugene as well. Small world….
Candle in the Dark
Friday, January 11th, 2008Tonight I watched the video Candle in the Dark, the story of William Carey. It was an inspiring story of the hardships he endured, his humility and determination, and his desire to spread the gospel in place that was very much a mission frontier. The acting in the video is not quite up to Hollywood standards, and comes off as a bit cheesy at times, but nevertheless it is a moving and powerful tale that seems reasonably close to the actual events.
Through an unfortunate string of circumstances, William and his family were left nearly destitute when they arrived in India from England. They had to abandon their original English home in Calcutta for a much humbler abode. Later they moved far from Calcutta and set up residence with a new acquaintance.
Music by Sandra Entermann
Saturday, July 15th, 2006At 3ABN’s Spring Camp Meeting I was introduced to the music of Sandra Entermann. Sandra is a Seventh-day Adventist vocal artist with a beautiful voice. Moreover, the songs in her repertoire contain great messages, and several that were new to me have become favorites already. Her choice of musical accompaniment is also always appropriate. I’ve purchased two of her albums: “If I Stand” and her most recent album, “Rest.”
