One week from today, Rick and I will be heading to Minnesota for this years Desiring God conference. We went last year and were so blessed by the speakers and the BOOKSTORE that we decided we simply had to return this year. The topic this time around is “With Calvin in the Theater of God”, so in preparation, I have been reading John Calvin and His Passion for the Majesty of God, by John Piper. The title alone stirs my heart deeply. At the end of my days, how I would love to be able to have my name inserted in that title.
Let me share with you one quote from the book with the hopes that it will whet your appetite to read it for yourself: “May God inflame in you a passion for his centrality and supremacy in your life. May it be so that when you are dead and gone the people you love and serve will say, “This one knew God. This one loved God and lived for the glory of God and showed us God day after day.”
I will warn you though, don’t pick up this book unless you want to be called forth from complacency and challenged to live with all your might for the glory of God.
