The Tough Questions: David's Favorite App of the Week

File this under Spiritual Development.

"Favorite App of the Week" could become a thing...as I find so many apps to help with productivity when I'm on the go, and my phone is ready to blow up with the amount of things I use it for.

A resource I have found helpful since it's release is Pastor John Piper's "Ask Pastor John."  There's an app for iOS and a Podcast, Android, too.

John Piper's perspective is from 3 decades of standing as a pastor and priest; most importantly, one who loves to learn and declare truth.  He's very honest, not afraid to say "this is my opinion" and is confrontational with love to make it easy to hear his answers without cringing with judgement and the feeling of condemnation.

What I appreciate about the inter-webs is that it has made resources from multiple perspectives within the Christian faith available in a seconds' notice (depending on your connection).  I'm able to 'sit down for coffee' with John Piper by just opening the app.

He answers tough questions:
"When should I leave my church?"
"Is tithe still relevant today?"

UPDATED 2021! Free your Freegal Music - Freegal App to iTunes [Your Music or MP3 Player]

UDPATE 1/21 OK - well, out of more responsibility  I had to figure out a legal  way to put mp3's on my son's simple mp3 player he got for Christmas this year (it's a $30 one from amazon...) Advertised as a kid-friendly player, I knew the features included a 'drag and drop' feature for mp3's.   Now that Apple has gone the way of 'music' the instructions below (original post!) are basically ancient history, but I'll leave them here for anyone who might want to refer to them. New instructions for 'freeing your freegal' music are as follows. First, I am assuming that you are using an app on a mobile device to 'download' the music to that device. 1. download music (3-7 songs a week for most folks on Freegal) to your mobile device. 2. connect your mobile device to a real computer  (sits on a desk or your lap, you know). 3. open up Finder or Open Device (depends on your platform) 4. find "Files" (on iPhone) 5. find the Freegal app

Brandon Hampton - Perfected in Love Chords

Image
Hi there. A great guitar teacher told me that the best way to improve "play by ear" (or ear training) was to transcribe songs.  So, that is what I've been practicing.   When I find a song I like that isn't really out there on the interwebs, I like to share my work in transcribing. Here's Mr. Brandon Hampton's song "Perfected in Love" As with many IHOP-community songs, there's the 4 tags at the end at your disposal...make sure to develop your own.  Same chords repeated. P.S. - Brandon, thanks for leading from electric.  Me gusta. Perfected In Love Brandon Hampton Key: B (figure out the melody played on guitar... it’s not too tough...  hint: B major scale, begin on F#) intro E - F# - G#m E - F# - G#m E - F# - G#m E - F# - G#m - B Oh...oh...oh... verse E - F# - G#m Surely goodness E - F# - G#m And mercy follow me E - F# - G#m - B All the days of my life E - F# - G#m Before
