It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away" (James 4:14). <br><br>Living knowing that your life is a vapor is different than just living. Things here are passing away. You&rsquo;ve got to hold on to what will stand. Savor what matters. This collection of thirty-one articles is full of that heart-longing after Christ that distinguishes Piper&rsquo;s preaching ministry. Readers will feel as though they have stumbled into a garden as they enter these pages. The Scripture cuts, Christ is exalted in God, and we worship Him.<br><br><b>Life Is Short. Eternity Is Long. Live Like It. </b> <br><br>You will exist forever. You and God are both in the universe to stay—either as friends on His terms, or enemies on yours—which it will be is proven in this life. And this life is a vapor. Two seconds, and we will be gone. <br><br>In these thirty-one meditations, John Piper will connect you to a fresh understanding of God and a renewed relationship with Him. You&rsquo;ll find your faith stirred to make every day count for Christ when you consider life as a vapor. <br><br><b>Story Behind the Book</b><br><br>Time is precious. We are fragile. Life is short. Eternity is long. Every minute counts. Oh, to be a faithful steward of the breath God has given me. Three texts resound in my ears: “Redeem the time” (Ephesians 5:16 ); “It is required of stewards that one be found trustworthy” (1 Corinthians 4:2); “His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me” (1 Corinthians 15:10 ). <br><br>Surely God means for our minutes on earth to count for something significant. Paul said, “In the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain” (Philippians 2:16). In the same way, I have good hope from the Lord that my “labor is not in vain in the Lord” (1 Corinthians 15:58 ). 247313 2 9 2004 Life as a Vapor: Thirty-One Meditations for Your Faith total:60|5:18|4:29|3:11|2:1|1:1| 60 242 107 11 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Oct 29 20:49:17 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 29 20:49:31 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2005 Thu Aug 07 20:01:01 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 07 20:02:00 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Jan 05 15:12:57 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 05 15:14:00 -0800 2009 Bagai uap, yang hari ini ada dan besok akan hilang...
