the blue fish has now, like me, listened to that sermon by John Piper, and like many others, he has responded in a just the right way:
“Last night I listened to the John Piper talk from T4G. Afterwards I sat and shuddered and almost wept . . . on Thursday night I’m suppposed to be ‘preaching’ at Surrey CU. Please pray that my preaching would be glorifying to God . . . I don’t need to be John Piper, nor preach in a particular style or structure . . . but I want to burn with the Gospel like him as I preach Acts 6:1-7 . . . I want to feel the weight of the glory of the Gospel . . . to point people to Jesus . . . to exult in Jesus, tasting the satisfaction of the Gospel over all things.”
“The mantle of preaching is soaked in the blood of Jesus and singed in the fire of hell.”
