I donโt know how people pray who donโt believe in the sovereignty of God to do the impossible. Because all the things I want to happen are impossible. If theyโre possible Iโll do them.
John PiperHow do you get from, "We do not know whether this is protectable human life," to "Therefore, we will not protect it?" Wouldn't the logic just as likely (some would say far more likely) be, "Since we do not know whether this is protectable human life, therefore we will protect it?" Why does the judicial uncertainty about the humanity of the unborn lead to unbridled license to destroy it?
John PiperIf we love God's fame and are committed to magnifying His name above all things, we cannot be indifferent to world missions.
John PiperIf we have no zeal for the glory of God our mercy must be superficial, man-centred human improvement with no eternal significance. And if our zeal for the glory of God is not a revelling in his mercy, than our so-called zeal, in spite of all its protests, is our of touch with God and hypocritical.
