You have to understand, I’m a John Piper fanboy. I even named a product with my business after him (shameless plug here). Desiring God wrecked my theology and my overall outlook on life. Piper. Is. My. Boy. So you can imagine my confusion Tuesday when I disagreed with him for like the third time ever when […]
What? When? Where? Why? Who? One of the biggest problems I’ve seen with the doctrine of the five-fold ministry is a lack of clear understanding about what each gifting is, what it is for and how it functions. Here are my notes based on my own reading and life experience. For ease, I’m going to go […]
If you’re like me, you often struggle with prayer. Maybe you struggle with finding the time, or choosing to make the time. Maybe you struggle with what to say. Peter Beskendorf, a barber in Wittenberg, had a similar problem. But by God’s providence, he happened to be Martin Luther’s barber. Knowing the Reformer’s reputation as […]

Christian Liberty is a word that is thrown around quite a bit in various circles and churches. Sometimes it’s used properly and other times it’s used to justify certain deeds and actions in the life of a Christian. John Piper coined the term Christian Hedonism years ago and for some it was well received, while others […]
A non-Christian friend of mine once asked me if atheists were better people than Christians because they don’t need someone to tell them what is right and wrong. I’ve seen several atheists make this claim, with greater or lesser degrees of condescension and ridicule. I didn’t have an answer at the time, but after giving […]
Reading: Ephesians 1 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 8 which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight 9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ 10 as a plan […]
