<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

\u201cWe are a people of the Book. We know God through the Book. We meet Christ in the Book. We see the cross in the Book. Our faith and love are kindled by the glorious truths of the Book. We have tasted the divine majesty of the Word and are persuaded that the Book is God\u2019s inspired and infallible written revelation. Therefore, what the Book teaches matters . . .<\/span><\/p>\n

That is God\u2019s word to us as we launch into EDUCATION FOR EXULTATION. Bethlehem, \u201cContinue in the things you have learned and become convinced of . . . the sacred writings\u201d \u2013 the Word of God, the Bible. Don\u2019t advance. Don\u2019t go forward. Don\u2019t proceed from this. Continue in this. Stay in this. Remain in this. This kind of conservatism will make you the most radical, counter-cultural, risk-taking, free people possible in Christ. If you leave the Word, you will, in the end, just conform to the world \u2013 to the spirit of this age. This may feel freeing for a moment. But it will make you the slave of every passing fashion \u2013 and they are passing faster and faster.<\/p>\n

So God\u2019s word to us in this vision of EDUCATION FOR EXULTATION is: Continue in your absolute allegiance to the unchanging truth of God\u2019s Word, the Bible. Stay here. Abide here. Build children\u2019s ministries on it. Build youth ministries on it. Build adult ministries on it. Build church planting strategies on it. Build marriages and families on it. Lead elder meetings with it. And whatever else you do, John Piper, don\u2019t preach anything but the Word of God, the Bible.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
