Let the Nations be Glad by Piper



I finished reading Christless Christianity by Horton about 2 weeks ago.



How was Christless Christianity? I heard him interviewed on Stand To Reason a few weeks back, and it sounded interesting.

It's a pretty easy read. It's Hortons analysis of the current state of the church across denomination lines in the US. He argues that even if 86% of the population claims to have Christian they suscribe to deistic therapeutic moralism which he pretty much equates with paleginism. In other words most "christians" believe that as long as you are/try to be a good person and you try to live a good life you will go to heaven. Also that the gospel has become seeker friendly and having an inner experience it's not longer about creeds but about deeds.

Green Eggs and Ham. It is a great allegory about how we can resist grace for a time, but eventually we will surrender. The free will people think it is about man's freedom to make his own decision. But I know better.

Hello friends,

I met a friend face to face this morning who I met online for breakfast. Really exciting first for me. :) Particular Baptist are on the endangered species list in my neck of the woods and my friend Randy drove 40 miles to meet. He hands me a book, a gift:

in Christ alone by Sinclair Ferguson.... forward by Alistair Begg

I'm going to be reading it. :D

humbly studious,
Cam

The Collected writings of John Murray volume 3 "Life Sermons;Reviews

I got the full set as well as the 16 volume set of Owens works for $10 per volume due to Sinclair Ferguson's "First time attendees Banner of Truth conference book room review"

I was all giddy at the bargains he was announcing LOL
