“What a Jerk, Piper!”

This isn’t just an attention grabbing headline. It is a direct quote from John Piper’s apology for being a jerk. For a biblical example of leadership and humility, be sure to read his latest blog post: “Why I Don’t Have a Television and Rarely Go to Movies”.

Other related tidbits:

  • Frank Turk makes a very good point that contrasts Piper and Driscoll.
  • Piper also had a thought provoking tweet today on two different types of pride:

“Boasting is the voice of pride in the heart of the strong. Self-pity is the voice of pride in the heart of the weak.”

Holy, Holy, Holy – Isaiah 6:1-8

>>>See end of post for links to sermons on the holiness of God.<<<

Isaiah 6:1-8 (NASB)
1 In the year of King Uzziah’s death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple.
2 Seraphim stood above Him, each having six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
3 And one called out to another and said,

“Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord of hosts,
The whole earth is full of His glory.”

4 And the foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, while the temple was filling with smoke.
5 Then I said,

“Woe is me, for I am ruined!
Because I am a man of unclean lips,
And I live among a people of unclean lips;
For my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.”

6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from the altar with tongs.
7 He touched my mouth with it and said,

“Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away and your sin is forgiven.”

8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying,

“Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?”

Then I said,

“Here am I. Send me!”
