Every hero fails.
That’s true for us. It’s true for the heroes of church history. And it was true of Jonathan Edwards.
But that’s one reason their stories are so valuable.

📖 Introduce your children to Jonathan Edwards’s story and the greater story it points to. We invite you to order a copy of ‘Jonathan Edwards: The Boy Who Sparked Revival’ at https://t.co/RaZgkTDplY.

Caleb Yirenkyi literally just became the biggest sale out of Denmark EVER, with his move to Coventry (great move btw).
But yet I instantly think about who’s going to beat that sale, because Danish clubs are able to sell for more year after year.
I’m so sure, James Bogere will be the first player sale to break the 40 million euro barrier.
He’s 18 years old, doesn’t turn 19 till next year. He’s fully a first team regular now for AGF and his ability and talent is there for everyone to see.
You saw it last season with the raw top speed and directness he had, now he’s back and my god has he improved massively over the summer.
I’m told he basically lived at the training ground, and you can see it. He’s making better decisions, better runs, he’s better technically and isn’t as raw anymore.
If he continues his rapid improvement and stays healthy, I’ve got no doubt he will be a superstar.
No turning away — that’s the promise of the new covenant, sealed by Jesus’s blood. Today on Solid Joys, John Piper looks at Jeremiah 32:40, reminding us that our perseverance in faith is purchased by Christ himself.
