As I’ve mentioned in a couple other blog posts, I’ve begun to copy some of the cassettes from my church with older sermons into computerized formats. My goal is to eventually make them available on CD and/or from the web. Tonight I started playing one of those recordings from the former pastor, Bracy Greer, that is called “Cain’s Offering.” In my opinion, it is well worth the hour and a half for you to listen to it. Here’s one of the points that he made:

Jesus' death makes my justification possible. There's a lot of people -- millions of people -- pointing to Jesus' death as the total and sole means of their justification. Jesus' death makes your justification possible. Your dying with him makes your justification a reality.

I’ve been recording these into OGG/Vorbis format because I get better compression most of the time and it is not a patented music format like MP3 is. If you are on Windows, you will probably have to install a codec before you can listen to it:

Alternately, you can download a lower-quality version of this sermon from a website that is named after one of his favorite phrases (from Hebrews 2:1):

If you can spare the hour and a half, this is worth hearing. Some of you know that I don’t say that about too many things.
