Tim Keller Kicks Numbers 22

If you haven't read Numbers 22 lately, pick up a Bible and do so. It should put a smile on your face. I also like the 21st chapter of 2 Chronicles because it ends like this:

"Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years. He passed away, to no one's regret, and was buried in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings."

Jehoram died and no one regretted it. That just made me laugh. Then, of course, it made me think. I assume you know what it made me think about.

Anyway, I tend to listen to about 4 sermons each week on my drives to and from work, the grocery store (although Tracy has gone to the store by herself for the past two weeks!!), etc. I listen to Rob Bell from Mars Hill, Mark Driscoll from Mars Hill in Seattle, John Piper from Bethlehem Baptist Church, and Erwin McManus from Mosaic. But the current and reigning champion of mine is Dr. Tim Keller from Redeemer Presbyterian Church in NYC. If you google his name, you'll find a couple sites where you can download free sermons if that's your thing.

Keller has an amazing ability to weave the gospel throughout every passage of scripture. He has an incredible knack for essentially preaching the same thing all the time, but every time it stretches me in a new way. Anyway, I thought I'd pass on the name to my avid reader (Tracy) who already knows all of this. I love you sweety!
