Hate...

I mentioned a book (Don't Waste Your Life by John Piper) that I was excited to read a few ... months ago that I have once again picked up. It is a tough read because of some of the things it says. It challenges me. And I hate it...

Here are a few snipits for you to chew on this weekend. May you be challenged. And hate it too. May it pull us to the feet of our Savior. Who is Love. May we not waste our life...

Snipits:
~Life is wasted when we do not live for the glory of God. And I mean all of life. It is all for his glory.

~We waste our lives when we do not pray and think and dream and plan and work toward magnifying God in all spheres of life.

~In the night sky of this world God appears to most people, if at all, like a pinprick of light in a heaven of darkness. But he created us and called us to make him look like what he really is. This is what it means to be created in the image of God. We are meant to image forth in the world what he is really like.

~If you don't point people to God for everlasting joy, you don't love. You waste your life.

~No thing can satisfy the soul. The soul was made to stand in awe of a Person --- the only person worthy of awe.

~God's love must rescue us from our addiction to self and bring us, changed, into the presence of God.

Happy Chewing...
