Thoughts and Ruminations on Life

I envision this site being a place where I (and others who get a chance to get inside my head) can be real about my joys, my frustrations, the miracle of truth revealed in Jesus of Nazareth, and what it means to be a follower of him. I hope this will provide the medium for me to explore my struggles, anxieties, and day-in, day-out grind of what it means to live for a God who gave me a new lease on life: and has called me to share that with others.

John Piper is a good man.

And I highly respect him as a leader and a committed disciple of Jesus. And agree with him much of the time (much does not mean all). And this happens to be one of those times. He's written a good article on the Islam/Christian/Muslim conversation that also digs deeper into his disagreement with NT Wright (another man I deeply respect) on the New Perspective on Paul (NPP). You'll have to read the article to understand what he's saying, because I'd like to simply post the link to the article, and if you have a comment or opinion, just post one and we can talk.

I think the article is even-handed and clear. I especially like the yearbook analogy.

Jesus, Islam, Pharisees, and the New Perspective on Paul.
