This is a great clip I found tonight on Ray Ortlund’s blog:
Good stuff in a short clip. I’m not familiar with 13 Letters, which apparently is a hip-hop curriculum on the Pauline Epistles—not a combination which it would have occurred to me to expect, but it looks like they have some solid teaching effectively presented.I should note as well that I also greatly appreciated this comment of the Rev. Dr. Ortlund’s in the thread on his post, not least because I could too often say the same of myself:
God made us for greatness, for glory, honor and immortality (Romans 2:7). God wants that for us. But it happens only under God’s approval. One of the worst parts of my own fallenness is that God’s approval doesn’t mean nearly as much to me as it should. Sure, he matters. But what would really make my heart sing today is if you would just please, pretty please, adore me.Dishonoring to God.Manipulative of you.Unsatisfying to and weirdifying of me.But God is at work in our hearts for better things, to the praise of the glory of his grace.
