I’m reading through a book right now called “Breaking The Discipleship Code” by David Putman and I’ll do an extensive book review on it later but I wanted to write a quick post on something that struck me last night as I read the opening pages. This paragraph brought me to tears:

I’m almost finished with Piper’s new birth series and thought this was a great excerpt out 1John 5:1-5.  It’s interesting to ponder how this relates to a church’s role in a city.  For me, I think about how it relates to what Eternity will do in Jefferson City.
