God’s plan in creating the universe is to demonstrate the greatness of the glory of his supreme grace in the suffering of his Son. Do you want to join the son in demonstrating the supreme satisfaction of the glory of grace by joining him on the path of suffering?? Because there is no other way for the world to see today the supreme glory of Christ than to break with Disneyland of America and begin to live a lifestyle of missionary sacrifice that will show the world that our treasure is in paradise and not on Earth. That’s the only way.
The gospel of prosperity will not make anyone praise Jesus. This will encourage people to praise prosperity, of course I would have a Jesus who gives me a car. Who wouldn’t want to have a Jesus to give me health, a car, a good marriage I’d have your Jesus if the payment is right.
- That’s not how you’re going to win your college.
- Wearing the best.
- Driving the best.
- Writing the best.

There is no other way for the world to see the supreme glory of Christ today than to break with Disneyland of America and begin to live a missionary sacrifice lifestyle that will show the world that our treasure is in heaven and not on earth.
Now understand why the motto of John Piper’s ministry is “God is more glorified in us when we are most satisfied with him. “
