How to Be Spiritually Minded




Enjoyed reading this by John Piper today:

Realize that millions of people in the other religions of the world are not looking for people
with more American cultural coolness or techno savvy.
They are looking for a “holy man,”
 a “man of God.”

The question will not be,
“Is he quick-witted and fast-talking and clever?”

The question will be:

“Does he pray a lot?
Does he know his holy Book, much of it by heart?
Is he self-denying and focused on God?


Is he powerful in his weakness?”

Very inspiring! In Christian circles, we hear so much about trying to be "relevant" to modern culture when the real emphasis needs to be on pursuing God and deepening in knowledge of Him. Thanks for the reminder.
