Don't Watse the Precious Opportunity to Accept Correction

Man, do I suck at this. Good word:

Gossiping, Surreptitiously

They say that it is important to be able to 'vent' once in a while.
Well, they should realize that 'venting' is most usually gossiping.
Or, it is nearly impossible to 'vent' and not gossip.

Or, saying that you are only 'venting' is a way to feel good about dragging people through the mud.

You Should Probably Follow Piper on Twitter

Because he says stuff like this:

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Phil 4:13), like go hungry, get cancer, be killed and go home.

Follow him here.

And for less obvious reasons, follow me here.

He Who is Alone With His Sin is Utterly Alone

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, in Life Together, reflecting on James 5:16:

He who is alone with his sin is utterly alone. The pious fellowship permits no one to be a sinner. So everyone must conceal his sin from himself and from the fellowship, living in lies and hypocrisy. But it is the grace of the Gospel, which is so hard for the pious to understand, that says: "You're a sinner, a great desperate sinner. Now come, as the sinner that you are, to the God who loves you" ...A man who confesses his sins in the presence of a brother knows that he is no longer alone with himself; he experiences the presence of God in the reality of the other person.
