This Is One Way That God Is Blessing His Church Today

                It is the essence of what a Christian sermon should be. It is up there with the most wonderful and powerful sermons that I have ever heard. It is as profound as anything that Charles Spurgeon has ever given....and he was the best of the best. It will.....if listened to....prostrate the most devout....but still be ignored as boring by those who cannot hear or recognize the Shepherd's voice....'most' of those who cannot hear I should say....for it will convert.....wonderfully convert.....those who God chooses to call to Himself.
               I listen to John Piper preach....and know that as I am as fortunate in being able to do this as any of those who were fortunate in the past to sit before Spurgeon or J. C. Ryle or Martyn Lloyd-Jones or any of the other faithful pastors that God has given His church....from the beginning until today.
               There is movement in God's church today....but you have to look for it. I have seen a few national ministries beginning to preach on the return of our Lord and Savior.....not warn necessarily of what is happening all around us....but at least put before their congregations the glorious and yet terrible Second Coming. I heard one national minister just this morning on his program teach on the four horses of Revelation six. It was in all likelihood just plane wrong....not heretical in any way.....for not only can we not interpret this passage with certainty....we also cannot be as dogmatic on what is not true. The important thing is that this minister felt the need to bring this before his audience. He will learn as time passes....as we all will learn....as the nearness of Christ becomes even closer.
                This sermon That I am oh so hoping you will listen to....is not on prophesy....for it is on the glory and the oneness of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. It has a great help within it on our everyday problems....but the essence is that Christ is preparing a place for us. Please give this short sermon a chance. It is today's Sermon of the Day from desiringgod.org.....or you can Google it by.....'John Piper. I Am The Way, The Truth, And The Life.' I listened to it twice today while working around the house....and plan on....Lord willing....listening to it on the road this evening with my wife present.
