Me and #8
This is Ocho. You might think we're joined at the hip the way that he follows me around. He thinks he's my best friend. I've told him he's not but he doesn't believe it. Neither does my wife.
How's your walk with Jesus going?
That is a question I don't like being asked unless my walk with Jesus is going well as far as I can tell. I suppose it is going well since I am writing about it. But I will not boast about "my walking" because I am a freakin' idiotic sinner who (were it not for the GRACE of God) would "walk" right into hell. But JESUS is so wonderful! Through a friend of mine I heard about a book called _Desiring_G0d_:_Meditations_of_a Christian_Hedonist_, by John Piper. Once I began reading the book (which is freely available online here) I was curious what his sermons might be like. So I did a search online and found a huge collection of sermons on various websites, like here, and here, and here! My point in all of this is that I have been listening to his sermons everyday as I commute to and from school and the effect that his preaching has had in my walk with Jesus has been amazing. If you are backslidden, backsliding, lukewarm, or cold; if you are hungry for the things of God, or if you have lost your appetite for things eternal because you have glutted your mind on the junkfood of this world, do yourself a HUGE favor and download some of his sermons. I highly recommend his series in Romans. Just start downloading them beginning with Romans 1:1 and listen to each one. You will be magnificently blessed!
If you are not sure about Jesus, who he was, is, and what it all means in relationship to you, PLEASE download some of John's messages and listen. Find out for yourself what the gospel truly is.
