For any of whom may read this blog, which is not many but a few, you might read an occuring theme on my thoughts. I have my “soapbox” as a brother I know would say. The Lord provides my food and my raimant. The Lord provides the Word that I might hear his commands. How Graceful is He that sacrificed His life for His friends!
By the Will of God, what Christ Jesus commands us to do will be my soapbox until his most Highest comes again.
One of out Pastors told me about this book.
If it appears that I am on the John Piper train, so be it. The man is teaching the Word of God and with integrity and vigilence. Just like any teacher, we must match every word he speaks with the Word and prayer, as he even adds in this book.
“Most of all I hope you will pray as you read. Even if you are
not accustomed to praying, ask God to protect you from any mistakes
I may have made and to confirm to you what is true. In the end,
what matters is the effect that God produces in our lives through
his written word by his Spirit. That’s what makes prayer so crucial.
In prayer we ask God to transform us in that way. “

He is an encouraging Teacher of the Word, and he is a true blessing to my whole house.
