I'm reading Crazy Love by Francis Chan, recommended by a friend recently. I suspect Pastor Craig has read it too, based on the current message series. It is challenging me and rattling me in a necessary way.
Chan quotes John Piper (who is awesome, by the way) from his book God is the Gospel, in which the quoted author asks whether we are in love with God:
"The critical question for our generation - and for every generation - is this: If you could have heaven, with no sickness and with all the friends you ever had on earth, and all the food you ever liked, and all the leisure activities you ever enjoyed, and all the natural beauties you ever saw, and all the physical pleasures you ever tasted, and no human conflict or any natural disasters, could you be satisfied with heaven if Christ was not there?"
No comments today.
Just give it some thought.
You may need to read it again.
I did.
