This arrangement of God of Grace and God of Glory, one of the great hymns of the Welsh composers, also known as CWM Rhondda and other names in modern hymnals, will become a favorite of congregations when programmed for an advanced high school or above trombone quartet, or a brass ensemble consisting of trumpets, horn in F, trombone or euphonium, and tuba with organ. Scored in the concert key of F major, the arrangement modulates to G major for the third verse and A major for the fourth. The arrangement aligns with four verses of the tune found in most hymnals, thus lending its usage to support/accompany congregational singing as well as stand-alone concert performance. A full score and all individual parts are included in this publication. With organ, brass, and full congregational singing, this will be a rousing production of the Welsh tradition.John Hughes, the composer of this hymn, was born on November 22, 1873, in the Welsh village of Dowlais, the eldest son of Evan Hughes. His parents removed to Holly Bush, Llantwit Fardre (Llanilltud Faerdref) in 1874 where his father was deacon and worship leader at Salem Baptist Church. Like many of his countrymen, John Hughes started work in a mine at 12 years of age. He later became a clerk, and finally was an official of the Great Western colliery at Pontypridd. He married Hannah Maria David in 1905 and had both a son and a daughter. Like his father, he became deacon and worship leader at Salem Church. It was there, for the 1907 anniversary services at Capel Rhondda, Pontypridd, that he composed God of Grace and God of Glory. The tune is known by other names in many modern hymnals. Hughes wrote many hymn-tunes, anthems, and songs. He died at Ton-teg, Llantwit Fardre, on May 14, 1932.
Long captivated by the idea of one-way love or "God's grace," Paul Zahl has often contended with accusations of being "long on grace but short on law." "Grace in Practice" begins with Zahl's response to the classic tension between law and grace. He then sets up the four pillars of his own theology of grace: humanity, salvation, Christ, and the Holy Spirit in the Trinity. Having discussed grace in theological terms, Zahl goes on to address the practicality of grace, developing a systematic theology of grace that is radically understood from the Bible and consistently applied to everyday life. After helpfully narrowing down specific fields of grace, asserting throughout that grace always trumps both law and church, Zahl concludes with an expanded view of grace in everything, extending this good news to all creation.

The deceptions sweeping the church are multiplying, to no surprise. The only thing of relative surprise is the lack of sufficient resources to counter it. There will always be weeds in within the wheat, but we don't have to hand knives and forks to the wolves for their lamb-chops. It's time for the church to stand up, use the sword of the Spirit, and cut off their hand if that is required, to catch the little foxes, or sometimes big fat ones, that are, truly, ruining many vineyards. These are not trivial things, nor are they grey areas. They are outright deceptions and manipulations of the Word, bolstered on charisma and popularity. In the guise of liberty, they bring a seduction of senility that binds people where they are at. True freedom, true grace, brings us to the cross, and bids us "Come ye here and die." True Christianity is not looking up at the cross at our savior, but dying up upon there with Him. As true as it has been in all time, this generation of preachers needs this clarion wake-up call: Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. 1 Corinthians 15:34 This book will answer: What is Grace? Is there a false grace? Why is there so much focus on Grace today? What is the place of the Law? What is repentance, and how does it factor into the life of a believer? Is there such a thing as a restoration of Grace happening today? If so, is there a counterfeit? What is the Bible's view on 'Grace'? Does God care about our sin once we're saved? What does the Finished Works of the Cross accomplish? What won't the Finished Works of the Cross do? What is the duty of a Christian once they're saved, and why isn't this a "works salvation"? What are some of the common misconceptions about Grace? When are we born again? What is the nature of hell and is it eternal? Are we by nature good? What are some of the things people actually wrongly teaching about Grace today? How do I keep myself from error? What are the six foundations of the faith and how do they keep me from errors concerning Grace? This book can either be informative on the basics of true Grace in comparison to the many false faces offered today, or it can become a tutorial on how to righteously, yet effectively, and aggressively, confront and challenge the current false Grace teachings. Included are numerous scriptural references on why the Christian should not be afraid to engage in debate with people even in gross error, as well as what not to do, and when to walk away. Reading this book will both equip you to be aware of the deceptions in the wider body of Christ, as well as prime you to effectively and intelligently refute them. Don't think your church is immune to this threat, because it isn't You will also find references on, Who and what Biblically are heretics and heresies? What is 'Anathema'? Why did Paul use it? When should we? Should we judge? Are we allowed to judge? What are the Biblical guidelines for judgment? How can I expect a discussion with a false-grace advocate to go these days? What are the proper guidelines for talking to someone, especially when they are hostile or twisting the Word of God for their own purpose? How can I expect them to twist scripture? Does God judge us today? What is proper Biblical etiquette for having a conversation? And, what do you do if they don't have it? Expect to be challenged to live a life of bold faith cultivated in a heart of intimacy. Expect a message straight out of "All the Words in Red", as well as a systematic basis for understanding why Jesus' words are the only framework for discussing Christianity. Be prepared see the heart of Jesus reflected in the Sermon on the Mount, and to be challenged to walk in greater love, not only in your personal life, but even when dealing with those who are in error.
