The Pleasure of God in Public Justice

John Piper's sermon on "The Pleasure of God in Public Justice. "

April 5, 1987

 

Worship is the dangerous act of waking up to God and God's purposes in the world. But something has gone wrong with our worship. Too often, worship has become a place of safety and complacency. It can be a narrowly private experience in which solitary individuals express their personal adoration. Even when we gather corporately, we often close our eyes to those around us, focusing on God but ignoring our neighbour.

But true biblical worship does not merely point us upward it should turn us outward as well.

N. T. Wright: Evil And the Justice of God

Evil is more serious than either our culture or our theology has supposed. How might Jesus' death be the culmination of the Old Testament solution to evil but on a wider and deeper scale than most imagine? Can we possibly envision a world in which we are delivered from evil? How might we work toward such a future through prayer and justice in the present?

These are the powerful and pressing themes that N. T. Wright addresses in this book that is atonce timely and timeless.
