Usually these kind of "God is a means to your ends" events make me cringe. But, I've been praying for Carly's salvation ever since she laid off both my husband and I within 3 months of eachother. You know, love your enemies and all that. :)<br/><br/>I'm praying <i>she</i> hears and responds. And lots of others. I was interested to see that Carly Fiorina is also on the panel.

I think that everyone needs to hear this message that Keller teaches on the story of the 2 sons. <br/><br/>First, I heard the audio sermon. Then, I read what he wrote called Gospel and the Supremacy of Christ, i think it was called. <br/><br/>God has really shown me, through Keller, that moralism really IS an "enemy of the Gospel.<br/><br/>Amazon just sent this to me in the mail, but I still have to finish "Supremacy of Christ in a Post-modern World". <br/><br/>(I haven't heard of "A Tale of Two Brothers", but I now I will get it. Thanks, Dan!) I love that Hybels has read this book! I think that everyone needs to hear this message that Keller teaches on the story of the 2 sons.

First, I heard the audio sermon. Then, I read what he wrote called Gospel and the Supremacy of Christ, i think it was called.

God has really shown me, through Keller, that moralism really IS an “enemy of the Gospel.

Amazon just sent this to me in the mail, but I still have to finish “Supremacy of Christ in a Post-modern World”.

He is Christ-centered. Bill Hybels seems to have a human-centered philosphy with Jesus thrown in. I suppose the Lord could be working on the hearts of His people, and is speaking to us, and we are begining to listen to His full counsel, and not just Jesus loves us, and He wants us to accept Him.<br/><br/>God has a warth, and it is being stored up every day people don't repent and trust and turn to His Son, and kiss the Son.

God has a warth, and it is being stored up every day people don’t repent and trust and turn to His Son, and kiss the Son.
