Yesterday I stayed home from church due to a fever and head cold that I have been battling for the past two days. During this time at home I put in the DVD of Passion OneDay 03 and listened to John Piper's message on "becoming a generation passionate for the holiness of God". As I sat listening and taking notes on a sermon that I've heard probably 4 or 5 times I was left with a Selah, a time designated to pause, meditate, think on what was heard or read. As Piper was explaining the indefinability of the holiness of God he mentioned that his prayer for the generation was that we would not only become a generation passionate for the holiness of God but that we would become empassioned for God's supreme, infinite value which would sever the root of all 'Judas joys' in our life. Boy do I have a lot of those 'Judas joys'.
The Selah I took yesterday was when Piper asked the question:
Do you feel more loved by God when He makes much of you or when He, at the cost of His Son, gives you the ability to enjoy making much of Him forever?
Selah
