Veritas

If you have never been to Veritas.org, you need to.

The site is the internet home of the Veritas Forum, a Forum organized and run by a Harvard grad for the purpose of "Engaging university students and faculty in discussion about life's hardest questions, and the relevance of Jesus Christ to today."

Click Resources to find downloadable or streaming audio (and sometimes video) of guys like Zacharias, NT Wright, Tim Keller, John Stott and a whole bunch more giving talks or debating contrary thinkers on intense topics.

George Müller

I came across this quote while listening to Piper's biographical sermon on the life of George Müller. Hope it helps in our fight against sin...

"Self-denial is not an impoverishment, but a postponement"
