Where I got the title for this blog

I've just got done reading a couple of great books: Contending for Our All by John Piper and Confessions of a Reformission Rev. by Mark Driscoll. I highly recommend them. Contending for Our All is a look at 3 historical Christian figures: Athanasius, John Owen, and J. Greshem Machen. What I am learning is that many of our current theological and ministerial bru-hah-hahs have been experienced in prior generations. Sure, they are nuanced fitting our current cultural, historical, technological, philisophical, etc. context, but the divinity of Jesus Christ and his role was debated as much then as it is now. The true meaning of the gospel was debated as much then as it is now. Here are three that contended for our all, for the truth, for the gospel, for Jesus Christ - who he is and what he secured on our behalf through his life, death, and resurrection. If you are looking for an abrasive pastor that doesn't mind aiming the gun at you and pulling the trigger read Mark Driscoll. One example: a man called him in the middle of the night broken up because he had lusted. After a brief conversation the man asked Mark to pray for him. So he prays "Jesus, thank you for not killing him for being a pervert. Amen." I'll try not to adopt this as my personal approach should any of you come to me in the middle of the night!
