Its this post that has generated criticism, especially that of Burdened and Logic (I also have a big problem with that comment, but their criticisms are sufficient). They are not criticising you.

What I meant to do was to encourage you in your quest to become a preacher of the gospel in that you would prepare more and more; everyday speant in serious study of the word.

How can you explain something you have no knowledge of? <BR/><BR/>Furthermore, if you do not have a passion for who God is, what is your motivation for evangelism?

Are you saying that Eli does not need to learn more about Theology or that he doesn't need to worry about it at all? <BR/><BR/>By the way, I agree completely. John Piper is incredible! We should all learn from his deeply rooted biblical faith. He's very influenced by Puritan preachers!
