  • Honoring Christ and Loving People in Times of Darkness, Part 4

    16. Express your personal cherishing of the sovereignty of God as the ground of all your hope as you face the human impossibilities of life. The very fulfillment of the New Covenant promises of our salvation and preservation hang on God's sovereignty over rebellious human wills--both ours and others...

  • Honoring Christ and Loving People in Times of Darkness, Part 3

    11. Point the hurting to the momentous issues of sin and repentance in our own hearts and the urgent need to get right with God through his merciful provision of forgiveness in Christ, so that a worse fate than death will not overtake us. Luke 13:1-5. "Now on the same occasion there were some present...

  • Five Reasons to not Begrudge Affliction

    In his blog, John Piper shares five specific benefits from Psalm 119: 67 and 71 that God gives in sending us affliction. He notes that, principally, affliction comes to help us learn God’s word, to understand God’s word and keep it. There are innumerable ways affliction can benefit us, as there are innumerable...

  • How God Teaches the Deep Things of His Word

    The Bible always has ways of reshaping our perspectives. The writer of Ps. 119 does exactly this when he expounds on one great reason for affliction. As John Piper examines just 8 verses of the longest Psalm, I was reminded of yet another wonderful good that God works from every situation--Greg A Meditation...

  • Honoring Christ and Loving People in Times of Darkness, Part 1

    2 Cor. 1:4 gives us one reason for our sufferings: so that we will experience God's comfort and be able to comfort those who are in any affliction. It doesn't say it is limited to those who suffer in the same way as us, but to any kind of suffering. The people at Desiring God have put together...

  • Book Recomendations

    Due to a change in schedule, there will not be a fourth message on Suffering as I originally intended. It seems to me that the last message accomplished much of what I would have liked in a fourth sermon, so I feel like it is ok to move on. Even with a fourth message, the biblical ideas we have considered...

  • Unseen Purposes for Disappointment

    June 10, 2008 | By: John Piper When Christ died he purchased for you the Yes to all God’s promises (2 Cor. 1:20), and that includes the promise to use his sovereign power to govern all the inexplicable, maddening detours and delays of your life for wise and loving purposes. He is doing a thousand things...

  • Huguenot "Idiotic" Perseverence

    In 1998 I (Rob) visited a cave in the Alps of southern France where a group of " les huguenots " hid for about 50 years during severe persecutions by the Catholic church. John Piper, on his blog, shares another story of resisting Huguenots : June 9, 2008 | By: John Piper In his book, Passion...

  • Real Authenticity

    "Authenticy". Everyone talks about it (in US evangelical circles anyway). They try new "ancient" experiences, like candles, incense, pillows, and rusty nails, in the name of being "authentic". (Ironically, I actually enjoy many of these sensory experiences.) What makes me...

  • Don't Expect to Understand and Love Deep, Important Truths Right Away

    Very rarely is something that is really worth knowing understood and loved immediately. Many times, we have to think over things, letting them stew in our minds until we see the beauty of the truth and love it. This is a supernatural process. God must teach us these things for they are spiritual taught...
