This is amazing... listening on the anniversary of 9/11... as a Soldier... while in Turkey.. God is so GOOD!! What faithful servants of the Lord, Pastor John Piper and Sister in Christ Lisa.
Thanks for this. Triumph of the Gospel in the New Heavens... Making some sense of the brokeness and effects of sin.
Amen Brother!
No truth in all of scripture can produce the overwhelming Joy that this does for those who know it to be 100% true! I desire for all to know this truth, because when hardship comes, and we know it will, we can say with doubt cast to the side that our God is an awesome God and he is fully capable of holding us to his side no matter the cost to our flesh. To live is CHRIST! and to die is REWARD!
