A quote to ponder..

John Piper at the Resurgence National Conference 2008 - Text and Context

"I think the way to be faithful to John Calvin, insofar as he was true, is to stay faithful to his book, which is right here [the Bible], not the institutes. And so the way to push the truth of any system that you think has got some truth in it, is not to wave the banner of the system, but to wave its foundations here, talk about [the Bible]"

any thoughts?

Great post. Thanks for sharing.

By the way, I listened to your Psalm 8 talk today. You have a pleasant manner and you said some good stuff.

You are on the same cd as Christopher Wright and others from All Souls, Langham Place. And David Starling from Sydney.

Hope you enjoy the company.
