update

So - this is just an update as to what I've been doing lately. I have been reading a lot.

Moving on....

This thought has been on my mind a lot lately - the greatness of God. I have been very encouraged by and challenged by this thought - don't let the gifts of the gospel come in the way of the giver. The giver is the one that is to be praised! I have been reading "God is the Gospel" by John Piper - if I had to suggest one book for you to read this month,  I would say (next to Scripture) that you should read this book.

Another thing that is SUCH an encouraging thought is this - God uses everything that ever happens to glorify himself. I've been chewing on this, it's such a great and encouraging truth. I cannot thwart God's plan by being a knucklehead! (I read "Spectacular Sins" by John Piper last week - - great book!)

All in all - I want to update you all with why I haven't written on here in a hot month.

     1. I've been lazy about writing - I have ideas, I just don't set aside the time to write.

     2. I've been reading a lot of good books here lately, so I would rather suggest you to read their writings, rather than mine.

       So - In view of these 2 reasons, I'll try to stop being lazy about writing if YOU will pick up one of these books and read it. (I will suggest more as I finish more. I don't like to suggest a book that I have not yet finished or come close to it.)

      a. "Spectacular Sins" by John Piper

      b. "God is the Gospel" by John Piper

I plan on finishing up "God is the Gospel" tonight and will be starting on a new book tomorrow. More updates to come soon and possibly reflections from a book.
