If you don't feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of god, it is not because you have drunk deeply and are satisfied. it is because you have nibbled so long at the table of the world. your soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great.

If You Don't Feel Strong Desires For

John Piper
If you don't feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of god, it is not because you have drunk deeply and are satisfied. it is because you have nibbled so long at the table of the world. your soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great.

More From John Piper

What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.
Greatness Wrath Justice Of God
The task of all christian scholarship—not just biblical studies—is to study reality as a manifestation of god’s glory, to speak and write about it with accuracy, and to savor the beauty of god in it, and to make it serve the good of man. it is an abdication of scholarship when christians do academic work with little reference to god. if all the universe and everything in it exist by the design of an infinite, personal god, to make his manifold glory known and loved, then to treat any subject without reference to god’s glory is not scholarship but insurrection.
Christian Writing Biblical
When a man is in god's grace and free from mortal sin, then everything that he does, so long as there is no sin in it, gives god glory and what does not give him glory has some, however little, sin in it. it is not only prayer that gives god glory but work. smiting on an anvil, sawing a beam, whitewashing a wall, driving horses, sweeping, scouring, everything gives god some glory if being in his grace you do it as your duty.

What i see is trying to make sure that everybody thinks you have more than what you actually have. what’s the point if you actually don’t have it? if you don’t have it, then you don’t have it. have what you have. enjoy that . . . the craft is everything. don’t be afraid of not being the wealthiest person in the room. be the smartest person in the room. be the slickest person in the room. be the most creative person in the room. be the most entertaining person in the room. just be in the room.

I had to be naked [in vinyl], but i was almost more nervous about having to be drunk. the director wasn't going to yell, "too big!," during the nude scene. for the drunk scene, you can be bad drunk or good drunk. we'll see. my wife was not happy, hearing about it.
Drunk Wife Directors
Playing a drunk doesn't mean being a drunk, only bad actors try to be drunk. a real drunk tries to be sober, he wants another drink. how a character hides their feelings tells us who they are, no one shows their feelings except bad actors.

Joy, sorrow, tears, lamentation, laughter -- to all these music gives voice, but in such a way that we are transported from the world of unrest to a world of peace, and see reality in a new way, as if we were sitting by a mountain lake and contemplating hills and woods and clouds in the tranquil and fathomless water.

There was quite a lot of competitiveness about it, with everybody wanting to beat not only cancer itself, but also the other people in the room. like, i realize that this is irrational, but when they tell you that you have, say, a 20 percent chance of living five years, the math kicks in and you figure that’s one in five . . . so you look around and think, as any healthy person would: i gotta outlast four of these bastards.

Panic is an incredibly catalyzing creative force. and almost out of sheer necessity, i found i had to talk about myself and my real life as it is effectively lived by me.

An emotion as much tells you nothing about reality, beyond the fact that something makes you feel something.
