Strong affections for God, rooted in and shaped by the truth of Scripture - this is the bone and marrow of Biblical worship.
John PiperGod is at work in the worst of times. He is at work doing a thousand things no one can see but him.
John PiperGrace is not simply leniency when we have sinned. Grace is the enabling gift of God not to sin. Grace is power, not just pardon.
John PiperWhy don't people ask us about our hope? The answer is probably that we look as if we hope in the same things they do. Our lives don't look like they are on the Calvary road, stripped down for sacrificial love, serving others with the sweet assurance that we don't need to be rewarded in this life.
