Living for Your Greatest Desire: Jesus

Living for Your Greatest Desire: Jesus
“The desire of your souls for His name and fame will not be disappointed. There’s no maybe about it.” Our Savior desires that our hearts would desire Him. However, desire can be a dangerous alley in worship. Our desires are not what we worship; they are our worship. Christian life entails costly love. Only in our sacrifice of the world can we discover the complete satisfaction of a life lived for Christ.

Why Do Christians Preach and Sing?
John Piper walks through three big ideas—that faith is seeing God as beautiful, lostness is blindness to His beauty, and conversion is not merely your decision to follow Him but Him giving you the gift of sight. When we see the beauty of God, we acknowledge that His glory is all-compelling, all-surpassing, and all-satisfying, and we can’t help but follow Him and become agents of the miracle.
