Genesis 1?
I just listened to the recent podcast titled “The Greatest Thing in the World,” in which John Piper discusses wrath/fire and brimstone for about 20 minutes to set up to say we are saved only if we accept Jesus. While I am glad that he offers this so that we don’t need to revert to legalism/fundamentalism in order to save ourselves, I have to disagree on where we start as humans. If you start reading the Bible at the beginning, doesn’t it start with Genesis 1 where God creates the world and men/women declaring that they are good? Why can’t we start here? Why can’t we communicate that people are good first rather than a sinful sack of garbage first? Why can’t we start with Genesis 1? Can’t we teach people that they are capable of goodness because goodness is where we began? Isn’t it therefore deeply set within us because of our image that we share with the God that created us?

Listening to John Piper has changed my life. I have been a Christian believer for more than six decades, yet the greatest and best changes have occurred as I have absorbed what God says to me through Piper. I am not talking about only feeling different… but about being different in my daily walk.

No other preacher except maybe Jesus himself has influenced my walk at such deep and maturing levels

The podcast from today, Sept 9. is this first one I’ve listened to and easily one of my favorite messages ever. I cried, I examined my heart, I worshipped. Pastor John always points me back to my purpose for being here...the glory of God and to make His name great.
