I love John Piper and the Desiring God family for helping me see more clearly the glory of God. They have been greatly instrumental in my conversion to Calvinism and Reformed theology.
There policy of giving away everything for free or at whatever you can afford is unprecedented. Their influence on this modern reformation cannot and should not be minimized.
Mark Driscoll, of Mars Hill and Acts 29, gives almost all of his sermons and videos away as well.
We can now add Sovereign Grace Ministries to the growing number of ministries which give away as much of the gospel as possible.
Many people may not know that Melissa, Katie and I,as well as, my brother Josh and his wife Karina are attending the Sovereign Grace church of Frederick which is a recent church plant by Covenant Life Church in Gaithersburg.
We started attending because of the ministry that C.J. Mahaney has had on me through conferences, sermons, and books. Whereas we differ on some points of doctrine (paedo vs credo baptist), We have never felt more loved and free with a group of believers than we do at Sovereign Grace Church of Frederick.
Our Care group is amazing and the honesty that they have with one another about the sin in their own lives, is very convicting. They truly care for one another and they understand that there is no condemnation to those that are in Christ. I cannot say enough good things about how Sovereign Grace does their care groups. I pray that the church as a whole will see what they are doing and embrace it as essential to caring for and discipling people in their congregations.
I encourage you to make use of all the free audio that is out in cyberspace. May God use it to help mature you as He has used it to help me.
