Do Not Love the World

What makes a proud man preach a crucified Christ? In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper opens Acts 9:19–22 to show how God overturns pride with a vision of his beloved Son. 

All the omnipotent energy that drives the heart of God to pursue his own glory also drives him to satisfy the hearts of those who seek their joy in him. 

God’s greatest interest is to glorify the wealth of his grace by making sinners happy in him. 

The Father’s infinite pleasure in his own perfections is the fountain of our everlasting joy and forgiveness. 

God promises us his life-sustaining presence, even as he leads us into waterless regions of suffering and loss. 

All our labors flow from the strength God himself supplies. And whatever we do through him channels glory back to him. 

God is never forced into a situation where he must do something in which he cannot rejoice.
