I thought this was rather fitting considering the day. John Piper talks about President Obama and is respectful, but he does not shy away from the truth.

"There is creation and Creator, nothing more. And creation gets all its meaning and purpose from God." John Piper-don't waste your life
"Life is wasted when we do not live for the glory of God. And I mean ALL of life. It's all for His glory. That's why the Bible gets down to eatting and drinking. "Whether you eat, or drink, or whatsoever you do, do ALL TO THE GLORY OF GOD" We waste our lives when we do not weave God into our eatting and drinking and every other part by enjoying and displaying Him." John Piper- don't waste your life "Let worship be the heart of mission's aim To see the nations recognize Your name 'Til every tribe and tongue voices Your praise Send us out You should be the praise of every toungue You should be the joy of every heart But until the fullness of Your kingdom comes Until that final revelation dawns Send us out -Matt Redman Mission's Flame    |
