JOHN PiPER and ALCOHOL

This is a Sunday night sermon from October of 1981. I love just thinking about the fact that he grew up at the church across the street from Bob Jones. Fundamentalists unite!

"EVANGELiCAL ART?"

My uncle-in-law went to Bob Jones and is now a Catholic Priest. He's a good man and a delight to talk with. He recently posted a unique approach to why their is such a deficiency of art in evangelical circles. Please read. Here's a sneak:

"Evangelicals find it difficult to produce great art because they do not have a sacramental theology, and without a sacramental theology they cannot have a sacramental worldview, and without a belief that grace is coming to us through the physical world, how can you possibly produce great art?"

isle of my father-in-law

There is a list of various reasons why I love my father-in-law. He spit out a one-liner the other night that must be added to the list. Word for word, he said...

"I find it hard to believe that the Catholics are the only one with the magic cookie."

The context of that statement made it even more beautiful, but there's no time for that here. So, I'll just give a few more reasons why i like this guy. First, it is his birthday today. Second, he is the biggest hippie i know to ever come out of Bob Jones. Also, i feel like he respects me. I've heard this is a rare find in father-in-laws. Fourth, he and his lovely wife are moving to Florida; now my wife and I have a cheap vacation spot. Lastly, he accidentally cut an 8-inch wide and 4-inch deep hole in his leg with a circular saw and I must show you...
