John Piper. No, he'd probably die if he heard someone call him that, but I must say that I am so encouraged/challenged by everything that ever comes out of this guys mouth. The guy that coined the phrase "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him." That is the crux of everything within our spiritual walk. Take satisfaction in the Lord, and in turn, give Him glory. When you lose a loved one. God is enough. When you lose a job. God is enough. When the worst possible scenario occurs. God is enough. That is what John Piper teaches daily. When we take our satisfaction in the Lord and only Him, through all our tears and pain, He will receive all of the Glory!
Another Piper thought to think about and mull over:
Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn't. Worship is ultimate, not missions, because God is ultimate, not man. When this age is over, and the countless millions of the redeemed fall on their faces before the throne of God, missions will be no more. It is a temporary necessity. But worship abides forever.
