Woe to us if we get our satisfaction from the food in the kitchen and the TV in the den and the sex in the bedroom with an occasional tribute to the cement blocks in the basement!
From John Piper
God wills to be displayed and known and loved and cherished and worshiped.
God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.
I just want to preach so bad I can hardly stand it. I love what I do.
There are many pointers in the Bible concerning the rightness, the goodness, the beauty, the justice, the preciousness of racial harmony and diversity.
God has ordained that Satan have a long leash with God holding on to the leash because he knows that when we walk in and out of those temptations, struggling with both the physical effects that they bring and the moral effects that they bring, more of God's glory will shine.
Jesus Christ... came into the world to vindicate the infinite worth of God's holiness which had been desecrated by our sin and which seemed... to be taken lightly because it was being passed over for nothing more than the blood of bulls.
Neither Muslims nor anyone else truly worships the true God if they reject Jesus as he really is in the Gospels.
Do all things without grumbling. Why? You have a sovereign God who is on your side, who works everything together for your good.
I owe my life and hope to the gospel. Without it I would still be strutting with racist pride, or I would be suffering the moral paralysis of 'white guilt.' But the gospel has an answer to both pride and guilt.
