It reminds me of a biography that Piper gave that's on his website, talking about Calvinism, particular Calvinism and the like and there's a part in it where he talks about election, and Piper says, which I think is so true, that Christian election should not look like us waiting to be sure of our election, but to live as though we are elect and let time/fruit/etc. tell whether we are. I think this is much more freeing than the other way around; some people use/believe in the concept of election as a restricting, paralyzing doctrine, but I don't think it's supposed to be that way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309335063285317001.post-33300908514385023472008-10-23T15:02:00.000-07:002008-10-23T15:02:00.000-07:00that was one book that made it overseas in 1 of ou...that was one book that made it overseas in 1 of our 10 pieces of luggage. jesse really likes it.The Massonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17048194702309176015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309335063285317001.post-37296166435466512572008-10-23T12:26:00.000-07:002008-10-23T12:26:00.000-07:00Mark, This is crazy!
