My feelings are not God. God is God. My feelings do not define truth. Godโs word defines truth. My feelings are echoes and responses to what my mind perceives. And sometimes - many times - my feelings are out of sync with the truth. When that happens - and it happens every day in some measure - I try not to bend the truth to justify my imperfect feelings, but rather, I plead with God: Purify my perceptions of your truth and transform my feelings so that they are in sync with the truth.
John PiperChrist died that we might live. This is the opposite of abortion. Abortion kills that someone might live differently.
John PiperIf my life was to have a single, all-satisfying, unifying passion, it would have to be God's passion.
