Great quote by Matt Chandler:
“We want our people to think beyond simply what’s right and wrong. We want them to fill their lives with the things that stir affections for Jesus Christ and, as best as they can, to walk away from things that rob those affections—even when they’re not immoral.”
Great advice!
ReplyDeleteGood quote. What are some things that you think rob you of affections for Jesus Christ? That would be an interesting discussion.
ReplyDeleteGrammy--I agree with Piper that we glorify God BY enjoying him forever. I think anything that dampens my joy of Him. For me that would be anxiety or looking at all of the hardships that friends and family are going through and focusing on the the worries of this world rather on God's sovereignty and goodness. So for me it is not so much a thing , but an attitude.
ReplyDeleteWhat a challenge ... to search out those things that might hinder without being inately sinful.
ReplyDeleteit sounds so simple yet sometimes hard to put into practise.
ReplyDeleteGood quote!
