<i>Veritas est Immortalis</i>: Don't Waste Your Life

Veritas est Immortalis

"If the Church is not in possession of truth, truth as an understanding that corresponds exactly to what is in reality, and...exactly to what is in the will and character of God, then it has been left speechless. It has nothing to say" (David Wells). But never forget: "Divine Truth is immortal, and though it may long be bound, scourged, crowned with thorns, crucified and laid in a grave, yet on the third day it will rise again victoriously and will reign and triumph eternally" (Hubmaier).

Don't Waste Your Life

I preached last week on John 17:4-5, giving the wonderful people in my young adults' ministry 3 Ways to Avoid the Distracted Life by looking at Jesus' life, which was totally obsessed with the glory of God.

While working on that message I was constantly being reminded of one of the best sermons I've ever heard, Dr. John Piper's "Don't Waste Your Life" (you can read and download the sermon here).

I actually bought the book that comes with the DVD of the sermon, and it is so good. After I spoke for a little while we watched half the sermon tonight, and will watch the other half on Jan. 1st as we assess the direction of our lives on the day many make resolutions for the coming year.
