Army

Fellow Whoppaheads,
I was driving on my way home tonight and was thinking about all of you. I do mean all of you. In my quick 15 minute drive each one of you passed through my mind...Then I got to thinking about a paper I finished a few weeks ago about Ephesians 6:10-20. This as you all probably know or at least have read before is on the Spiritual armor of God, which he provides us. Anyway, while I was writing my paper the thought of how God does not provide armor for our backs. I know that this fact has been mentioned many times by many different people. However, I love the fact that God leaves our backs empty with armor. You can't go into battle without having an army. Whoppaheads! we are the army. God leaves our backs unprotected with armor because he provides us with other warriors to cover our backs. I just want to thank you guys for being loyal and steadfast in this battle with me from the beginning of our relationships together. So keep fighting the good fight and know that I have your backs through this daily fight. I love you all.

Sound the blasting bells of the Summer malaise

I just read this article from John Piper about the dangers of the New Reformed Movement. The article focuses on worshiping God and not intellectualism or other seedy idols.

It excites me to reorient myself to God and to his purposes in a time of the year (mid-Summer) that things can get really hairy as far as continuing forward with purpose (no, I am not referring in any way to any parts of Wheeler's anatomy when I use the word "hairy" to describe this mindset). Let it be for you what it needs to be, as my prayer in this season is for true purpose to be born from whatever circumstances meet us.

I love y'all.
