John Piper, the main voice behind desiringGod.org, challenges me and encourages me in his exposition of and love for the Bible. Granted, there are times where he can be a bit over the top in his unashamed Calvinism. Nevertheless, there are some real gems, as when he teaches that the Bible offers us a window through which we can see the world from God’s perspective. Here he nails it. Great cinematography.

I hiked the Mount of the Holy Cross, one of the famous Colorado Fourteeners, with some friends in July, 2012. My buddy, Mike Scott, snapped this photo of me on the summit.

Clarke:
What a wonderful example of “sharing the joy of personal discipleship!” Piper’s passionate love of the Word of God is inspiring.
The more I study, the more I appreciate how we are all individuals with our own quirks, biases, personal history, beliefs, and emotional and intellectual baggage. That’s what makes us unique. Only a simple-minded person would agree with everything someone else thinks or teaches, but what a wonderful palette of ideas we have to choose from to work out our salvation. The apostle Paul’s instruction in Philippians 2:12 get’s to the heart of the personal discipleship process.
Thanks so much for sharing!
John
