I know I’m about 37 years behind, but I’m just now reading John Piper’s “Desiring God.” I’m now looking for a good response. Can anyone recommend a thoughtful counterpoint or rebuttal?

'Women Talking is an amazing piece of filmmaking that has much to contribute to discussions on trauma healing and sexual violence. It deserves even more praise than it has received. Despite being dialogue-heavy (it would make a great play), it is always captivating. And despite the dark tone of its subject matter, its lack of graphic images and details make it relatively safe viewing'

Today in Labor History January 21, 1525: Conrad Grebel, Felix Manz and George Blaurock founded the Swiss Anabaptist movement by baptizing each other and breaking a thousand-year tradition of church-state union. The Anabaptists were considered Radical Reformers. They preached against hate, killing, violence, taking oaths, participating in use of force or any military actions and against participation in civil government. They also believed in separation of church and state. However, some Anabaptists went even further, like those in the Munster Commune, who called for the absolute equality of man in all matters, including the distribution of wealth. They called upon the poor of the region to join them in sharing all the wealth of the town. Many also believed in polygamy and free love. Not surprisingly, both the Roman Catholics and the nascent Lutherans persecuted them heavily. This history is wonderfully portrayed in the epic novel, “Q” by the Italian fiction collective, Luther Blissett.

Just beginning to explore everything that Mastodon has to offer.
Would love to connect with #anabaptist minded folks. Are the #mennonerds here yet?

Something I love about being an Anabaptist is the focus on living out the ethics of Christianity. 
One scholar writing about Anabaptists said we have “a hermeneutic of obedience…” I think that is right. 
If you are a person of faith or you practice a certain religion, what do you find most beautiful about it?
