~ Bob Hayton ~ 3 Comments

The Theological Research Exchange NetworkThis being a thankful time of year and all, I wanted to express my appreciation to the Theological Research Exchange Network (TREN) for placing an advertisement on my site. I have heard of this service before and thought I’d make everyone aware of it.

TREN “is a library of over 10,000 theological thesis/dissertation titles representing research from as many as 70 different institutions”. Dissertations are available from over 125 institutions and conference papers are available from the following national conferences:

  • Evangelical Theological Society (1,129 papers)
  • American Society of Church History (150 papers)
  • Society for Pentecostal Studies (75 papers)
  • North American Patristic Society (20 papers)
  • American Catholic Historical Association (14 papers)

TREN now offers an edocs service where you can find, purchase and download dissertations online. Many papers are offered for free too.

If you are doing theological research, or even if you are just looking for an elusive dissertation to help with some particular study of yours, the Theological Research Exchange Network will definitely be worth looking into.

To check out TREN, and also to help ensure their continued sponsorship of Fundamentally Reformed, please click their advertisement at the top of my sidebar (or the logo above). Thanks!

Music Mondays: “Jesus, Thank You” by Pat Sczebel

~ Bob Hayton ~ 2 Comments

Music Monday posts highlight the music which touched my heart on Sunday. I pray the message of these songs will help us all to live in the spirit of Worship all week long.

This Sunday one song in particular blessed my heart. The words “Once Your enemy, now seated at Your table” always send chills down my spine as I think about how glorious it is that God saves us sinners who were His enemies. He saves us and also bestows on us incredible honors and blessings.

I found myself also thinking of Mephibosheth, a potential rival to David’s throne, who was welcomed to his table in a place of honor. Mephibosheth’s own servant had left him alone and vulnerable.   He was lame. A normal king would have killed him to ensure his place as king. But David, prefiguring Jesus, accepted him into his house, and set him at his table. The same has been done for me by my Lord Jesus. (The story can be found in 2 Samuel 9).

Enjoy the words of this song today as you seek to worship Christ throughout the work week.

Jesus, Thank You

Words and music by Pat Sczebel

The mystery of the cross I cannot comprehend
The agonies of Calvary
You the perfect Holy One, crushed Your Son
Who drank the bitter cup reserved for me

Your blood has washed away my sin
Jesus, thank You
The Father’s wrath completely satisfied
Jesus, thank You
Once Your enemy, now seated at Your table
Jesus, thank You

By Your perfect sacrifice I’ve been brought near
Your enemy You’ve made Your friend
Pouring out the riches of Your glorious grace
Your mercy and Your kindness know no end

Lover of my soul
I want to live for You
