Don’t Waste Your Life

Posted by ebcpastor on September 22, 2009

I read Don’t Waste Your Life by John Piper a number of years ago, but this time I am going back through it with more detail.  It is a challenging book that everyone should take the time to read and consider.  Listen to this powerful quote: 

 “Life is wasted if we do not grasp the glory of the cross, cherish it for the treasure that it is, and cleave to it as the highest price of every pleasure and the deepest comfort in every pain.”

One Year Later

Posted by ebcpastor on September 21, 2009

Ok, It has been one year and a month sense I put anything on here.   I am going to try posting some things again.  Primarily, I want to post things that relate to the books that I am currently reading.  I want to challenge believers to become lifelong readers.  Paul said to Timothy “When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, also the books, and above all the parchments.” 

As we read books by men and women believers, let’s never forget that the main thing is to read the Word.  Here is a sample of my current book list:

Don’t Waste Your Life by John Piper

Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas

Leading on Empty by Wayne Cordeiro

Simle Life by Thom and Art Rainer
