Expecting a New Book

DateSaturday, January 31, 2009 at 12:00PM |

John Piper is at it again! He has turned one of his more recent sermon series on the New Birth into a book called Finally Alive (not yet released).

The following quotes from the forthcoming book demonstrates one of the many reasons I love Piper. He is clear, concise, and accurate:

Your act of believing and God's act of begetting are simultaneous. He does the begetting and you do the believing at the same instant. And—this is very important—his doing is the decisive cause of your doing. His begetting is the decisive cause of your believing. (102)

I'm headed to Minneapolis Sunday actually to a conference hosted by Piper and Desiring God so I hope to get a sneak peak of this book. It looks very promising. In the debates over Calvinism, I find that many Arminians have not wrestled with how exactly the new birth takes place.
