Show Notes

"Time is a strange commodity- we can't save it, retrieve it, relive it, stretch it, borrow it, loan it, stop it or store it. We can only use it or lose it. We can't call 'time out' in the game of life. Indeed there is no such thing as a literal 'instant replay'. That appears only on film." 

; "I am wired by nature to love the same toys that the world loves. I start to fit in. I start to love what others love. I start to call earth "home." Before you know it, I am calling luxuries "needs" and using my money just the way unbelievers do. I begin to forget the war. I don't think much about people perishing. Missions and un-reached people drop out of my mind. I stop dreaming about the triumphs of grace. I sink into a secular mind-set that looks first to what man can do, not what God can do. It is a terrible sickness. And I thank God for those who have forced me again and again toward a wartime mind-set."   John Piper- Don't Waste Your Life

2Ti 2:4 No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier.

Lord give us a wartime mind set. Give us an urgency to BE AND TO DO. Give us an understanding of holiness like never before. Give us the power and the tenacity to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions and to live sensible and upright and Godly lives in this present age as we await the blessed hope and glorious appearance of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.…
