This feels particularly pertinent as I sweat over Hebrews 12 this afternoon. Discipleship as enduring hardship at God's hand to finish the race, with a bit from Proverbs thrown into the mix along with the scary story of Esau.
Good old Piper! Having seen the effects of the export of prosperity gospel to India first hand I agree!
Interesting, another take on Christianity in Hindu culture - one pastor said to me that Christianity is just like Hinduism to many people - it's just another god - there's a god to make you well, a god to prosper your business, a god to fight, and a god to get you your green card to USA - and that god is called Jesus.
We have to be careful how we present the gospel from whatever background we come.
