A Word from John Piper

The following quote if from John Piper's website http://www.desiringgod.org/AboutUs/OurDistinctives/OurHistory/ .

I think he is right on in his perspective. May God so work in me and our ministries.....

As we move into the future, we are aware of the danger of growth. The bigger we get, the greater the temptation to refrain from risk. It’s tempting to be pre-occupied with internal systems and management. It’s tempting to be anxious about financial security.

But our calling is to spread a passion for the supremacy of God in all things for the joy of all peoples through Jesus Christ. We are not called to preserve ourselves but to spend ourselves. We are called to treasure Christ and show him as glorious to as many people as possible. When you think of us, pray that the Lord will continue to give us grace to love him passionately, trust him radically, give generously, and preach Christ boldly.
