Maybe you’ve seen the original.  If so, you’ll think this is funny.  If not, then you won’t be offended cause you won’t know.  Either way, its a laugh.

I’ll watch it.  Let me know what you think…

My friend Kristen over at Moody Publishers has started up a new blog with some sweet giveaway every now and then.  Read some articles, engage with us youngsters, and if nothing less sign up for some free stuff!  I think “Crazy Love” was given away this week.  Peace for now.

Over the past few years the reformed world has boomed with admiration for Tim Keller.  I must admit, I was not one of these people.  I read his books, listened to his sermons, listened to him at conferences – and I just didn’t get the infactuation.  But I am slowly coming to enjoy this guy.  You can check out his messages at our recent CSU conference here at :  https://csuvideo.ccci.org/

He spoke about the gospel.  What it is, what it is not, why our culture really hates it, and why we as Christians fail to live it out.  As much as I tried not to like it, it convicted me in a very big way.  I really encourage you guys to listen to the two talks on what the gospel is for us and what the gospel is for others.  It was the morning wednesday session and the morning thursday session.  Hope you enjoy.

Well, it continues.  And I saw a few weeks ago on the India I know blog that Piper gave a pretty open response about it.  I’m not saying I agree or that I disagree with Macarthur, but I am certainly glad that accountability and discussion exist throughout the reformed world. 

Here is the link to the actual audio by Piper at the 09 Basics Conference in Cleveland:  Piper’s Response

This is one of the most beautiful quotes I’ve ever heard…

“One last suggestion: think about your death. Think about your death a lot. Ask what you’d like to be doing in the season of life, or hours or days, leading up to meeting Christ. I do that a lot these days. I think about the impact of death, and what I would like to be found doing.”       -John Piper
