John Piper last week to writers (6/22): “If you’re a writer, you write. Period. You don’t publish. That’s neither here nor there. You might. Or you might not. If you’re a writer, you write. And one reason you write is that you cannot *not* write. And one of the reasons for that is because you find it so *something*. For me, it is so *illumining*. It’s discovery. There are eyes in your pencil. There are eyes in your keyboard. I don’t *see* until I try to *say*.”
I have never had any desire to preach what are called great sermons - sermons which display learning or ability, and which are relished particularly by the highly educated members of the congregation; but I have desired and have sought to preach helpful sermons, sermons that meet the real needs of the human heart in the midst of life's trials, struggles, temptations, sorrows... - Francis James Grimke

It was a joy to host another Cutting It Straight Intensive at the Shiloh Church in Jacksonville, Florida. We spent two full days discussing expository preaching and a biblical philosophy of ministry. Honored that these men trusted me with their time this week. Thankful for the staff and volunteers of Shiloh that served our guests. Amazed that someone like me gets to do something as important as this!
