"Christ did not die to make good works merely possible or to produce a half-hearted pursuit. He died to produce in us a passion for good deeds. Christian purity is not the mere avoidance of evil, but the pursuit of good."
- John Piper
I'm hitting a John Piper kick once more.
I have always loved learning and I believe that those even outside of school should be striving to learn more. As the disciples themselves did, we should devote ourselves to fellowship, breaking of bread, the study of the Word and prayer. Honestly I am a nerd, half of my 'perfect day' would be spent curled up reading somewhere. I love the knowledge that can come from a book, especially when it is in reference with the bible and God. I get a ton out of novel, but at the same time I like very detailed studies on the Word.
Right now I'm starting a study on Hebrews by John Piper, so be expecting some tid bits on what I learn.
