Isn't it a comfort to worship a God we cannot exaggerate?

He wants all or nothing. The thought of a person calling himself a 'Christian' without being a devoted follower of Christ is absurd.

Our lives should be more than just focusing on our marriage but on focusing our marriage toward what God's mission is for us as a couple.

God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. The answer to religious complacency isn't working harder at a list of do's and don'ts-it's falling in love with God.

I've never felt a need to really respond to someone else's writing.

We live in a relativistic culture, where people are more con- cerned with being liked than being truthful. In A Sweet and Bitter Providence, John Piper does an outstanding job of bibli- cally defending key truths that the church often ignores. He gives us an example of how to take a bold and educated stand on issues of race, purity, and God's sovereignty.

Just as you did not come to Christ on your own, neither will you remain in Christ on your own.
