Piper: “Look for a church that is not ashamed of any teaching in the Bible. Don’t go to a church that is fearful of displeasing people who are more shaped by the culture than the Scripture.” https://t.co/1536oxLrLK
Desperate seasons can make us feel fragile, vulnerable, and weak. They also, by God’s grace, can teach us to trust him like never before. https://t.co/LHsCQ5n3O1
