John Piper On the prosperity Gospel

I think that this is one of the most powerful videos I have ever seen.

Let me know what you think.

Seeking First the Kingdom...

I have the privilege of speaking at Grace this weekend and I am talking about one of the most popular scriptures of my day. We sang songs about it in VBS (that's vacation bible school for those of you who may not have been raised in the Bible belt), put it on coffee mugs and the whole nine yards (what does :the whole nine yards: even mean?). But, if my obsession with worrying over insignificant things is any indication then I don't have a clue what it means to seek first the Kingdom.

Pray that God would speak... I am definantly not the expert in this field.

Awesome Students

You know... I don't talk about these guys enough but my group of students are pretty incredible. They come back week after week and get thrashed by the Word. Seriously... sometimes I don't even want to come back because my toes hurt so bad. I'm not saying I am a great teacher, I just think the Bible speaks for itself and right now it is saying some pretty hard stuff (we are walking through the book of James). From my new 7th graders through 12th graders...I am truly blessed to have such a seeking group of students. I really think they desire to walk with Jesus (I know they are not coming because of my pretty face.) and I love them very much.

This is just a sample of the beauty that is New Mexico. I will get in trouble if I show you too much because Leigh wants to post pics on her blog. So stay tuned here and there for more.
