Thinking. Loving Doing.

Thinking. Loving. Doing. A Call to Glorify God with Heart and Mind is a book that John Piper and David Mathis have put together.  The authors also include Rick Warren, Francis Chan, R.C. Sproul, R. Albert Mohler Jr., and Thabiti Anyabwile.  I highly recommend you read it.  Today I read through a chapter by R.C. Sproul and had some wonderful reminders:

"He [Piper] understands the foundational principles
of our humanity as it was created by God, the truth
that we will NEVER by fully satisfied, we will NEVER
discover ultimate pleasure, until we find it in God himself.
This is the pleasure we should be seeking with all our being."

"I'm a human being. More accurately, I'm a human becoming.
I still have potential that has not yet been realized. I'm changing.
I'm undergoing mutations. That is the chief characteristic of creaturely 
existence - mutability. We change. But God does not. That means my 
being is not found in me independently. None of us created ourselves.
All of us are dependent on something before us to account
for our very existence."
