Think Wink.

So yesterday in the mail I received my two books that I ordered from the big DesiringGod online sale: God’s Passion for His Glory and What Jesus Demands from the World. I am very eager to get to Edwards’s The End For Which God Created The World that is published alongside Piper’s comments on the work. I am running through Piper’s introduction to get to Jonathan Edwards’s work. However, I find myself incredibly blessed by Piper’s words. His assessment of modern Christianity through Os Guinness and David Wells and Western Christianity being unable to think doctrinally anymore because it has become so pragmatic and dominated by false signs of success. This is really confirmed by the SBC’s unwillingness to update its membership to show many members have left the organization via death or attending another denomination. I was captivated by the brief biography of Edwards and I really want to read Iain Murray’s biography, Jonathan Edwards: A New Biography. Right now I am in the third and final chapter of Piper’s introduction and Piper’s own personal interaction with Edwards in an autobiographical format. He is about to go to Germany having read Edwards’s An Unpublished Essay on the Trinity and Freedom of the Will. I am looking forward getting my pen and paper out and digging through Edwards’s answer to what is the ultimate end for God creating the universe.
