There is something powerful about confessing our sin to one another (James 5:16), something that enables us to stay out of hiding before God and men.

Yet suffering often plays an important role in sanctifying us. Good to remember that nothing is "slipping by" God when it comes to our suffering.

It forces you to come to grips with your sin and makes the "coming clean" all the more vivid.Brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01379904614908562271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-421748810808351962.post-71982955985621635332013-04-07T19:17:09.064-07:002013-04-07T19:17:09.064-07:004:22 of stand-up comedy with no offensive lines? ...4:22 of stand-up comedy with no offensive lines? Incredible. Good references and funny stuff. I think it is hard to make the leap from self-centeredness to the gospel. It is hard for people to connect their need to boast in something being a cry for a savior to boast in rather than themselves. It's not that we shouldn't boast, but that we should boast in Christ.

This reflects a heart-felt desire to learn and grow but it is good to recognize that church is not meant to be a lecture hall.Brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01379904614908562271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-421748810808351962.post-1126192510548507362013-04-07T19:02:08.316-07:002013-04-07T19:02:08.316-07:00I love the connection that Piper makes between mis...I love the connection that Piper makes between missions and worship.
