A Passion For God

“You who are pastors, may God inflame in you a passion for his centrality and supremacy in your ministry, so that the people you love and serve will say, when you are dead and gone, ‘This man knew God.  This man loved God.  This man lived for the glory of God.  This man showed us God week after week.  This man, as the apostle said, was ‘filled with all the fullness of God'” (Eph. 3:19).”

-John Piper, The Legacy of Sovereign Joy (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2000), 117.
