The Calvinist, by John Piper

I really enjoyed this poem by John Piper, and especially its’ combination of video, voices, and music. I love that he paints a picture of a man who desires God to invade every avenue of his life. The description of this man’s heart in evangelism is probably my favorite part:

See him on the street,
Seeking to entreat,
Meek and treasuring:
“Do you know my King?”

What an apt description of the heart I want to have in evangelism.

Enough said; Enjoy!

Welcome to the poetry blog of Charlene Nelson. I view poetry primarily as an expression and means of seeing and savouring Jesus Christ, while inviting others to join me. Some readers may even want to join by writing and submitting their own poetry- and I hope they will! I also intend to use this as a place to share hymns and poetry of times past.
