Interview with JT

My buddy Justin Taylor has been interviewed by the folks at New Attitude blog. Here is a helpful excerpt from the interview:

I think with any bit of knowledge that we receive we have to ask “Why is it important for me to know this? What am I going to do with this truth?” And if I can’t move beyond that to practicals in my own life and my family’s life, to people in my church and my neighborhood, then I really have to ask “What’s the point of having that bit of knowledge?” Now some people would take that and say, “Well I don’t have to learn about the imputation of Christ’s righteousness.” But once you see that all of theology is application and that there is no true theology without application and that there is no application without a foundation in theology—then those two become so wed together it becomes almost impossible to separate them. So in my own ministry circles I try to avoid discussions about archaic points that have no practical significance. I try not to put things on my blog that are merely academically interesting that don’t have the potential to change someone’s life. So I do it imperfectly but those are some things I try to do.

So maybe I should publicly ask Justin when a blogstar such as him would be willing to be interviewed on my blog? These would be the questions:

1. Justin, why did you get so many parking tickets in college?
2. Justin, why did you almost burn down the whole house (I saved the day, thank you) with the toaster?
3. Justin, why did you set all the clocks in our house ahead two hours so that when I woke up in the morning and thought it was 8am and time to go to class it was really 6am?
4. Justin, do you still need help reading the Iowa map?
5. Justin, do you still make the high pitched squealing noise in your sleep?
6. Justin, do you still consider pizza to be the best source of all four food groups?
7. Justin, when we were in college, why did you make that one girl cry when she asked the honest question about Calvinism and you calmly quoted her "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated" and then looked at her like, "What's the problem?"

Nothing but love for my boy, JT. :)
