Justin Taylor linked to this piece by John Piper and Sam Crabtree, which is worth reading and thinking about. The list could be multiplied.
Out of the ivory palaces,
Into a world of woe,
Only His great eternal love
Made my Savior go.
(Henry Barraclough, "Ivory Palaces")

ReplyDelete"OUT OF THE IVORY PALACES!!! INTO A WORLD FULL OF SIN!!!"
stupid song still runs thru my head all these years later....
