The Greatest Thing in the World

Guess what? I've been listening to Piper again. He just so refreshingly weird! Okay, so that's not the only reason I like him, just one. He also has funny pictures of himself on his website! ^_^ He also grew up not far from where I live. And he explains the Bible instead of telling lots of stories, and he's the first one to tell you "John Piper is BAD!" After all, if he were perfect, I wouldn't like him. Only person that can be perfect without being annoying is Jesus. Seriously, I don't see how anyone could hate Him. He rocks! To which He says, "I should, I made rocks." *falls over* He makes me laugh!

Anyway, this is probably the clearest, most beautiful telling of something we Christians call the Gospel (good news) from a modern preacher in years ever, appropriately titled "The Greatest Thing in the World". Conversely, it could also be the most offensive telling of the gospel, depending on how you look at things. Either way, anyone who is reading this, please, check it out. I would be satisfied if you just read the summary, but I suggest listening. I know some of you aren't Christians and probably don't want to be, but if you really believe what you believe, whatever that might be, one sermon by some weirdo with funny pictures isn't going to hurt you. Besides, it might help you understand why I haven't killed myself. But if not, you can at least be entertained. *pokes Piper* Weirdo.

Well I haven't seen Piper was it. Well I haven't seen him but he sounds really cool and I would love to see him. Anyways about the part when Jesus is perfect totally agree. Well do you think you can help me or if anyone can help me that reads this. Help me show my friend Taylor the Lord. He goes to church on Wen. but I really don't know how to get started on showin him the way. I think that it's what I supposed to do but he is so subern and I don't know how I should approch him about it and he also has his girlfriend Starr that throws him off track. Can you give me advise?

My church teaches something called the Four Spiritual Laws, which I used to think was really good, but now I realize it's just as man-centered as it says man is.

So...I'll get back to you...
