Sorry, I just now looked at that. John Piper starts with P that sounds like T - there's trouble right here in River City! He Meditates on the trinity. While I can appreciate some of what he says, the bottom line to me is that this kind of thought makes Jesus, the Apostles, the scripture and, of course the Holy Spirit look quite inadequate; which is similar to what WL did on a large scale. If this is supposed to be the thought of the Christian, why did it not concern the above mentioned? It seems the trinitarian thought is always " it's too great to understand", but you better believe it. And then, certain men who have some great, deep knowledge about "it" can wow everyone with their beautiful, deep " experience", but I would think, if you ask the common laity what it meant you would either get a thousand different versions or a I don't really understand it, but I know it's there because the Bible says so. Mucho divisions because of this doctrine. And it's originality was accompanied by a lot of death, suffering, torture, and ugliness by the folks who made sure it became the foundation of Christian thought. But, sorry, scripture did not give us such a beautiful mediation as pastor John Piper, whom I'm sure is a dear saint who loves the Lord. When Paul tells us in no uncertain terms that there is but one God the Father, and that our oneness is based on this, I think dear John Piper is meditating on the wrong thing.
But what do you or others think about it? Do all the Christians meditate on the trinity? And why was this not a spiritual subject given to us by the Holy Spirit?
