We make a god out of whatever we find most joy in. So find your joy in God and be done with all idolatry.
John PiperThe bloodline of Jesus is thicker, deeper, stronger than the bloodline of race, ethnicity and family.
John PiperIt is a myth that man in his natural state is genuinely seeking God. Men do seek God. But they do not seek him for who he is. They seek him in a pinch as one who might preserve them from death or enhance their worldly enjoyments. Apart from conversion, no one comes to the light of God.
John Piper
