Look to Christ

“My goal in this book has simply been to coach you into that single, simple, all-determining impulse of the heart: looking to Jesus. If you look to him, everything else is footnotes. All else will fall into place. If you do not look to Jesus, no amount of techniques or strategies will finally help you; all will be for nothing. Peel back every layer of distraction and look to Christ. Simplify your heart and all its cares. Look to Christ and his overflowing heart.”

Living Hope

[It all made sense] for me when I was in seminary. I was in an Old Testament lecture. The lecturer simply said, “What’s really important about the Christian faith is not what we do for God, but what God does for us.”

That’s all it took. My whole Christian world turned completely upside down. My focus had been on my performance and my love for God, and it was never there.

Suddenly I realised that what was really important was God’s performance and his love for me. From that moment, that Copernican revolution has increasingly gripped me by the grace of God.

I’ve wobbled. I’ve gone up and down. I’ve gone backwards and forwards, but the central resting place of my heart is the free, rich grace of God in Jesus Christ, as I know it is for many of us here.

Recording Online Audio

Sometimes I use Reaper to capture and record my favourite streaming audio programs from the Internet.

Here are some things I’ve learned:

  • Blackhole lets you route audio from your web browser (or from any app) to Reaper (or to any DAW)
  • I can make Blackhole’s “Multi Output” device work for this, but not its “Aggregate Device”
  • To trim input levels, adjust the Blackhole device in the Audio MIDI app
