Don't Waste Your Life
"Maybe you don’t care very much whether you make a lasting difference for the sake of something great. You just want people to like you. If people would just like being around you, you’d be satisfied. Or if you could just have a good job w/ a good wife, and a couple of good kids and a few good friends, a fun retirement, and a quick easy death, and no hell, --if you could have all that (even w/o God)--you’d be satisfied. That is a tragedy in the making. A wasted life. " - John Piper
According to this, most of the people in evangelical churches (dare I say Redeemer Pres, Christ Community Church, Carriage Lane Pres.) are wasting their life, myself included.

Good quote and observation. It scares me to think how many people in the Church are not seeking Christ and his kingdom.
did you grow up at Carriage Lane Pres? Do you know Matt Corsey?
i am currently a member of Christ Community Church, but I went to Redeemer for 3 years prior. Both of them are two of the most blessed churches I have seen. By "blessed" I mean, they understand the Gospel.
erika, that name is very familiar, but no I don't know them. I don't think they go there anymore.
