    Awesome.... that very book I joyfully read most morning's. Some mornings I have to pray for strength to get through my readings and other mornings I just have to flat out force myself to read. Although it's not always easy to get up and read each morning, the reality that God wrote a book is what drives me to want to read, the God that saved me wrote a book, that's powerful!!! Most professed Christians claim they just don't have the time to read their Bible's each morning and I turn around and ask, did you have time to brush your teeth and eat breakfast? If the answer is yes, then my second question is, are your teeth and food more important than God?....If you aren't reading your Bible each morning you are doing SOMETHING each morning, Christians are a disciplined people and the most important thing in the sanctification of a Christians life is their daily walk with Christ, in the word. If you aren't in the word each day, I ask you to EXAMINE your faith lest you fall out & perish.

    Hi! I just wanted, first of all, to praise God for John's life. This man is incredible and has taught me a lot through his books and sermons. This video and his words blew me away. Literally. So I decided to translate the video to Brazilian Portuguese and I wanted to know if it's okay for me to post in on my channel (as I have already done it) with the Portuguese subtitles, so people from Brazil and Portuguese language countries can be moved by this video as well. I don't intend to have rights over this video at all, although I put my name as the translator of the video for my channel. Thank you so much and God bless everyone of you from Desiring God.

    We have been called to A Life of Ro-mance... If we understand that this is the REASON for Life in the first place, we'll be breathing to have that (A separate intimate time with our SOURCE.... and Our FATHER! ). What we even do afterwards, is from HIM (The mission HE wants to accomplish on Earth - but this time, it'll be from You - So out of LOVE, you work. Excellence, grandeur, diligence and sorts become the result). We've got to teach us minds (that have been tricked and lied to). We got to be renewed that The Ultimate and First Essence of Life lies in Enjoying God. Get to know more about Jesus. We have to also be taught well by Pastors - So learn from Pastors who are solely on Jesus Christ and it will light the fire to know more. We are co-llaborating with our Creator - That alone keeps one dazzled. Thank you John Piper. You have been a vessel by which Christ has dwelled in our hearts by Faith. Thank you Sir.
