"Slumber" and Piper

So, I got a job. Awesome story of the Lord's faithfulness and incredible mercy and grace....however that is not what I'm writing about today.

I am reading the book "Don't Waste Your Life" by John Piper....it is SO good. I have not really read much of Piper's stuff until recently, but it is so right on theologically, as well as also easy to read and understand. Anyway, its been a really good read as I've been thinking/praying a lot for this next year - remembering what is important: Resolving to know nothing but Christ, and Him crucified. (1 Cor. 2:2) I know that I can easily fall into the habit of just reading and not understanding (or remembering you once understood, but have since forgotten!) what something like "I am crucified with Christ means" but it is an excellent reminder of going through and explaining what that exactly means. I guess I would say its good for refocusing your faith - THIS is what its about, Christ and Him crucified. THIS is what I boast (delight, glory, rejoice) in. THIS and nothing else. (For further reading see Gal. 2:20, Gal. 6:14, Acts 20:24, 1 Cor. 1:18-2:2)

Anyway, on a slightly related note, this is my new favorite song by Needtobreathe. It is kind of along the same lines of "Don't Waste Your Life..." Love it! Happy Friday everyone :)
