John Piper: “We have come to take all the relatively minor benefits of following Jesus and elevated them above the massive, real pleasures of knowing him, loving him, and dying and being with him forever. Everything’s out of proportion in typical American Christianity.”
Piper: “I don’t want to be a comfort-seeking, entertainment-addicted, security-craving, approval-desiring Christian.”
