Don't Waste Your Life

by John Piper

Truth and beauty and goodness are not determined by when they exist. Nothing is inferior for being old, and nothing is valuable for being modern. This has freed me from the tyranny of novelty and opened for me the wisdom of the ages.

This is what I have been trying to say. God loves us by liberating us from the bondage of self so that we can enjoy knowing and admiring him forever.

May the one thing that you cherish, the one thing that you rejoice in and exult over, be the cross of Jesus Christ.

Apart from the cross, there is only judgment—patience and mercy for a season, but then, if spurned, all that mercy only serves to intensify judgment.

Im not sure abiut this point... when a sinner is hurt its judgment when saved, God has a purpose?
