John Piper discusses a subject that you think you might kinda sorta understand, making it more complex in order that you will understand its complexity, to the humility of saved sinners For His Glory!
Do you love being loved because you're loved or do you love being loved in a way that keeps you from making your love for being loved your god?
Do these statements make sense?
Listen here.
(Warning: this sermon is a little more than one hour but is worth your time.)
"Life Lessons" of my Father
You see, what God brings to pass all your days on this earth does you no wrong, but only good...only good...only good.
It's often painful. It's often difficult. It's often a heavy burden. But it's only good.
Our God rules the universe and overrules all evil for our good and even overrules the evil of our own nature, the evil of our own behavior, the evil of our own rebellion and makes it good for us.
