      A semi-implicit method for solving the full compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations in three dimensions is presented. The method is unconditionally stable with respect to the fast compressional modes. The time step is limited instead by the slower shear Alfvén motion. Linear stability limits are derived and verified by three- dimensional tests on linear waves in slab geometry.
