If a tornado twists at 175 miles an hour and stays on the ground like a massive lawnmower for 50 miles, God gave the command.
John PiperEvery good thing in the Christian life grows in the soil of humility. Without humility, every virtue and every grace withers. Thatโs why Calvin said humility is first, second, and third in the Christian faith.
John PiperParadise will not be a hall of mirrors, it will be a display of majesty, and it won't be ours
John PiperSometimes people stumble over this vastness in relation to the apparent insignificance of man. It does seem to make us infinitesimally small. But the meaning of this magnitude is not mainly about us. Itโs about Godโฆ The reason for โwastingโ so much space on a universe to house a speck of humanity is to make a point about our maker, not us.
John Piper
