Good Afternoon Metro,

Consider the following by John Piper.....

“The obstacles we face making Christ known are great – with the anonymity of neighborhoods created by mobility; the entertainment industry that keeps people saturated with the world and numb to spiritual things; a thoroughly God-ignoring culture; a medical technology so advanced and so available that people seldom think of resorting to God for help; and on top of all this the relative weakness of the church very enmeshed in the values of the world they are supposed to confront with a radically different Christ.”

John Piper, Sermon entitled, A Prayer That Brought the Holy Spirit Down
