Matthew Smith in Concert

Matthew Smith of Indelibile Grace will be in concert next Wednesday January 23rd @7p at Unity Baptist Church in Millington. Here is a quick blurb about him.

Matthew Smith is an East Nashville singer-songwriter who writes brand new music to centuries-old hymn texts. He is a founding member of the Indelible Grace community, whose work has drawn acclaim across denominational lines and is used in churches around the world. Born out of a college ministry, the reimagined hymns have found wide acceptance both among college students and the church at large, joining people who desire to honor tradition with those who want a modern musical approach. His latest album, All I Owe, focuses on how Jesus sets people free from the burden of both God’s law and self-imposed laws, by crediting his perfect life and death to those who trust in him.

Learning About Soul-Care: From A Sixteen Year Old Girl!

Ok, so we’ve highlighted this one before, right?

It is no overstatement to suggest that Edward Payson was one of early America’s most Christ-like, and Christ-exalting, preachers. His Legacy of Legend is a beautiful illustration that he was indeed that type of saint. Louisa Payson Hopkins was the eldest daughter of Edward Payson. She was only 15 years old when her dad died at age 44, in 1827.

One year after her father’s death, Louisa recorded in book form—from vivid first-hand memory—scores of evangelistic gospel conversations she had with her loving father and soul-shepherd prior to his passing. If there is a better resource for equipping parents for evangelizing their children I haven’t come across it. For absolutely every believing dad in the world I could not recommend Louisa’s book any more highly! For that matter, I trust that even those who are single, childless, or empty-nesters would find tremendous Christ-honoring benefit from the pen of this sixteen year old girl! For that matter, if you know of a teenage girl who is searching for a role-model that would make for happy parents, buy her this book!!
