Albert Mohler on Mother Teresa
Dr. Mohler weighs in on the recent revelations of Mother Teresa's spiritual struggle by David van Biema in this week's Time Magazine cover story. Dr. Mohler's reflections appear in the On Faith forum (a conversation on religion) co-sponsored by the Washington Post and Newsweek magazine. His main points are: 1.

Adam’s disobedience and Jesus Christ’s obedience
John Piper's sermon on Rom. 5:12-21, entitled The Fatal Disobedience of Adam and the Triumphant Obedience of Christ, is now available. Excerpt: "I want us to focus on the glory of Christ as the main purpose that God had in mind when he planned for and permitted Adam’s sin, and with him the fall of all humanity into sin. Remember what I said last week: Whatever God permits, he permits for a reason. And his reasons are always infinitely wise and purposeful. He did not have to let the Fall happen. He could have stopped it, just like he could have stopped the fall of Satan (as we saw last week). … [Read more...] about Adam’s disobedience and Jesus Christ’s obedience
