Westminster Seminary

Arrived at last at Westminster Seminary: The work has begun at full spead. Greek is the first hurdle. What a joy to be here though!

"God, deliver us from the professionalizers! Deliver us from the 'low, managing, contriving, maneuvering temper of mind among us.' God, give us tears for our sins. Forgive us for being so shallow in prayer, so thin in our grasp of holy verities, so content amid perishing neighbors, so empty of passion and earnestness in all our conversation. Restore to us the childlike joy of our salvation. Frighten us with the awesome holiness and power of Him who can cast both soul and body into hell (Matt 10:28). Cause us to hold to the cross with fear and trembling as our hope-filled and offensive tree of life. Grant us nothing, absolutely nothing, the way the world views it. May Christ be all in all (Col. 3:11)." (J. Piper, Brothers we are not Professionals, Broadman & Holman Publishers, 4).

"For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified" 1 Cor 2:2
