The Mighty God Will Not Remain Silent Forever
Psalm 50 – Metrical Version (Scottish Metrical Psalter)(Meter: SMD and the words are well set to the tune Diademata, which I promise you sounds much better sung in 4 parts than midi’d, though that’s the only “instrumental” form I could find) 1 The mighty God, the Lord, hath spoken, and did call The earth, from…

Men are Evil
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDFpiLOX6Bs&hl=en] In the clip above, Paul Washer preaches a short but powerful message from Scripture on the sinfulness of that estate whereinto man fell.
