Stand: Sessions 1 & 2
As I mentioned earlier, I had hoped to listen to Piper's Stand: A Call for the Endurance of the Saints. I didn't listen to as much of the conference as I had hoped by now, but I plan to review the messages briefly on my blog (in case you do not feel like listening without knowing what you would be listening to):

- 3. Embraces the need for internal purity.--2 Corinthians 4:2a
- 4. Certain of the responsibility to accurately handle the Word of God.--2 Corinthians 4:2b
