Economic Stimulus Payment & Christ

By John Piper
For a moment, forget the political puzzle of getting money backwhen the country is nine trillion dollars in debt. The more immediate question is: How will you make much of Christ with your “economic stimulus payment”? The president says it will be in the mail in time for Cinco de Mayo.

What is forever all about?

This was powerful and confronting (as Paul Washer usually seems to be).
Do you desire God?  Do you have passion for Him?  We’ve spoken about this before and it needs to be raised again.  What drives us?
Washer highlights an important idea in light of eternity.  God is the theme and focus and purpose of eternity, that [...]

Caring for the world in light of the coming Kingdom? Part II
