More From John Piper

That the religious right completely took over the word christian is a given. at one time, phrases such as christian charity and christian tolerance were used to denote kindness and compassion. to perform a "christian" act meant an act of giving, of acceptance, of toleration. now, christian is invariably linked to right-wing conservative political thought -- christian nation, christian morality, christian values, christian family.

So saving grace, converting grace, for augustine, is god's giving us a sovereign joy in god that triumphs over all other joys and therefore sways the will. the will is free to move toward whatever it delights in most fully, but it is not within the power of our will to determine what that sovereign joy will be.
Moving Giving Joy
Many biblical passages teach that we're not saved by our own efforts but by the grace of god alone. but the same passages also tell us good works are an essential evidence of the salvation experience. we're not saved by good works, but for good works. it begins with god's grace, and it's sustained by his grace as you shape your character by what you do as you cross the bridge.

Read this and thought of you: through joy and through sorrow, i wrote. through hunger and through thirst, i wrote. through good report and through ill report, i wrote. through sunshine and through moonshine, i wrote. what i wrote it is unnecessary to say. ~ edgar allen poe

Rather than seeking total control, relinquish it. you can't run the world, but you can entrust it to god. this is the message behind paul's admonition to "rejoice in the lord." peace is within reach, not for lack of problems, but because of the presence of a sovereign lord. rather than rehearse the chaos of the world, rejoice in the lord's sovereignty, as paul did. sovereignty gives the saint the inside track to peace. others see the problems of the world and wring their hands. we see the problems of the world and bend our knees.

A christian boy or girl can learn mathematics, for example, from a teacher who is not a christian; and truth is truth however learned. but while truth is truth however learned, the bearing of truth, the meaning of truth, the purpose of truth, even in the sphere of mathematics, seem entirely different to the christian from that which they seem to the non-christian; and that is why a truly christian education is possible only when christian conviction underlies not a part but all, of the curriculum of the school.
