Quote of the Day

I hear the haunting words of Jesus, “Do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things” (Matthew 6:31-32). In other words, if we look like our lives are devoted to getting and maintaining things, we will look like the world, and that will not make Christ look great.  He will look like a religious side-interest that may be useful for escaping hell in the end, but doesn’t make much difference in what we live and love here.  He will not look like an all-satisfying treasure.  And that will not make others glad in God.

-John Piper, Don't Waste Your Life, pg. 107-108
