John PiperDo you feel more loved when God makes much of you or do you feel more loved when God at the cost of His Son allows you to make much of Him?
John PiperMissions is the overflow of our delight in God because missions is the overflow of God's delight in being God.
John PiperOur obedience is God's pleasure when it proves that God is our treasure. This is good news, because it means very simply that the command to obey is the command to be happy in God. The commandments of God are only as hard to obey as the promises of God are hard to believe. The Word of God is only as hard to obey as the beauty of God is hard to cherish.
John Piper
