It’s very rare for me to read something that is both Theologically solid and emotionally riveting at the same time. So often, the stories we hear about Jesus are expressed in two ways: A feltboard-style Jesus, or a transcendent Christology.

If you’ve followed the blog for very long, you know that I love John Piper. He has a way of communicating some of the hardest truths with intellect and passion. His desire to see God glorified in the nations is simply astounding. I’ve had many people ask “What’s the problem with the prosperity gospel? As long as Jesus is preached and people are converted, it should be ok, right?” At times it seems like a hard question to wrestle with because “God can use anything” to save someone…so isn’t something better than nothing? No, not really.Blogroll
