Driven by a Passion for God
Thursday, July 31st, 2008Hello everyone! So sorry that it has been so long, but as teh commercials say, “Life comes at you fast.”
Please feel free to comment or ask questions related to last Sunday’s message on “Christian Hedonism.” I also ran across a quote by Edwards that is very thoughtful and relates to our recent discussions about not stopping at knowledge as the end. Piper quotes it in his biography message on Edwards. Here is the quote.
“Seek not to grow in knowledge chiefly for the sake of applause, and to enable you to dispute with others; but seek it for the benefit of your souls, and in order to practice . . . Practice according to what knowledge you have. This will be the way to know more. . . . [According to Psalm 119:100] “I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.” (Works, II, 162f)
There you go. Any thoughts?
Michael
