A Timely Word for the Timeless Word

I recently check out to see what John Piper has been reading and writing, and he has written a timely word that I believe we all need to read. It is called A Compelling Reason for Rigorous Training of the Mind. In a day where sermons are dumbed down and Christians are convincing themselves that anti-intellectualism is real spirituality (ignorance is godly?) and where television and entertainment dictate our learning, a call for rigorous thinking and reading is clarion and critical. It is a sad day, when, as believers we have more movie buffs specializing in novelty than discerning minds who can appraise biblical truth. I hope that this call resonates in the mind of Christians and fires our hearts to pursue Jesus – the Word made flesh.
