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
