The whole world lives for pleasure. The only difference is theirs is fleeting, while ours is forever in Jesus.

Preaching is the pastor's main work, and preaching is heart work, not just mental work.
John Piper
Image
If God's love for his children is to be measured by our health, wealth, and comfort in this life, God hated the apostle Paul.

So, you have three possibilities in world missions. You can be a goer, a sender, or disobedient. The Bible does not assume that everyone goes. But it does assume that the ones who do not go care about goers and support goers and pray for goers and hold the rope of the goers.

God is not an employer looking for employees. He is an Eagle looking for people who will take refuge under his wings.
John Piper
Image
We make a god out of whatever we find most joy in. So find your joy in God and be done with all idolatry.

One accurate way to describe abortion is subtle infanticide. That is: child-killing done in a way that the people don't recognize it as child-killing. That reality is why the word abortion exists. Some words are created to cloak reality the same way procedures are created to cloak reality. Abortion is cloaked child-killing

Without extended, concentrated prayer, the ministry of the Word withers. And when the ministry of the Word declines, faith (Rom. 10:17 Gal. 3:2, 5) and holiness (John 17:17) decline. Activity may continue, but life and power and fruitfulness fade away. Therefore, whatever opposes prayer opposes the whole work of ministry.
