More From John Piper

All that syrio forel had taught her went racing through her head. swift as a deer. quiet as shadow. fear cuts deeper than swords. quick as a snake. calm as still water. fear cuts deeper than swords. strong as a bear. fierce as a wolverine. fear cuts deeper than swords. then man who fears losing has already lost. fear cuts deeper than swords. fear cuts deeper than swords. fear cuts deeper than swords.
Strong Cutting Men
To follow jesus implies that we enter into a way of life that is given character and shape and direction by the one who calls us. to follow jesus means picking up rhythms and ways of doing things that are often unsaid but always derivative from jesus, formed by the influence of jesus. to follow jesus means that we can't separate what jesus is saying from what jesus is doing and the way that he is doing it. to follow jesus is as much, or maybe even more, about feet as it is about ears and eyes" (the way of jesus, eugene h. peterson, 22).

Blood is thicker than water, but politics are thicker than blood.
Blood Water Politics
It's the culture, not the blood. if you can go anywhere in the world and adopt these babies and put them into households that were already assimilated in america, those babies will grow up as american as any other baby with as much patriotism and love of country as any other baby. it's not about race. it's never been about race. in fact the struggles across this planet, we describe them as race, they're not race. they're culture based. it's a clash of culture, not the race. sometimes that race is used as an identifier.
Country Baby Growing Up
No matter how old i get, the race remains one of life's most rewarding experiences. my times become slower and slower, but the experience of the race is unchanged: each race a drama, each race a challenge, each race stretching me in one way or another, and each race telling me more about myself and others.
Running Drama Race
I never wanted to grow a thicker skin; i felt a real sense of pride in my thin skin, and in a weird way, i still do, because it's my thin skin that allows me to empathize with other people. it's the thing that allows me to create vulnerable art. it's the thing that allows me to create other feelings and make songs that actually grab people and touch people. i feel like i've spent my life fighting that thicker skin because i don't want to become an embittered asshole.

Gather the stars if you wish it so gather the songs and keep them. gather the faces of women. gather for keeping years and years. and then... loosen your hands, let go and say good-bye. let the stars and songs go. let the faces and years go. loosen your hands and say good-bye.
