Walkie-TalkieI am finally reading John Piper's book on missions, Let the Nations Be Glad. It was an excerpt from this book in the Perspectives class reader that first introduced me to Piper in 2003. Ever since then, I've appreciated Piper's unique "Christian Hedonism" theology and Bible-saturated teaching, mostly through podcasts of his radio program. This book is proving to be no different. My favorite quote so far has to do with prayer:
Prayer is primarily a wartime walkie-talkie for the mission of the church as it advances against the powers of darkness and unbelief. It is not surprising that prayer malfunctions when we try to make it a domestic intercom to call upstairs for more comforts in the den.-John Piper, Let the Nations Be Glad
