TODAY'S CHURCH

I don't know if your impression of Christianity could be classified as "the good life". It is not necessarily supposed to be. Jeremiah 29:11 is a verse I cling to, but it means something different to me now than it did when I first heard it. My prosperity is not comfort or luxury. My hope and my future is Heaven. Anything I sacrifice in the meantime is worth giving up for His sake. If you don't believe me, study the life of Paul.

Please take time to watch this. I hope you will be blessed, especially at this Christmas season as John Piper talks to us about what we should expect. Is there always going to be suffering in the Christian life? You bet. How does this change your perspective on life, career, illness, real estate, parenthood? God is good, but he is not concerned with making us comfortable. Why not?
