A Hunger for God on Trackback Thursday

0891079661“The greatest adversary of love to God is not his enemies but his gifts,” writes John Piper in A Hunger for God. “And the most deadly appetites are not for the poison of evil, but for the simple pleasures of earth. For when these replace an appetite for God himself, the idolatry is scarcely recognizable, and almost incurable.”

This fasting Piper speaks of is not just that of food, but addressing the deadening effects of any innocent delight that hinders the sweet longings of our homesickness for God. Many small acts of preferring fellowship with God above these delights can form a habit of communion and contentment. Christian fasting is a test to see what desires control us.

A reminder of how Trackback Thursday works: Simply link to the blog post from your blog, leave a comment on Crossway’s Facebook Page, or re-tweet Trackback Thursday on Twitter @Crosswaybooks. Winners are picked on Friday morning.

Lausanne Conversation Gathering in St. Louis, March 9th

screen-shot-2010-03-02-at-112840-am

If you’re in the St. Louis area, you should consider going to one of the two Lausanne Conversation Gatherings next week. Listen to panelists including Jim Belcher (Deep Church, IVP 2009), Wes Stafford (Compassion International), and Crossway authors Bryan Chapell and Darrin Patrick discuss the following topics facing the church today:

  • Whatever Happened to Evangelism?: Has social action eclipsed Gospel proclamation?
  • Whose Justice?: Can Christians with different political and social agendas work together?
  • Seeking the Peace of the City: What does it mean to bring Shalom to places like Haiti and the rest of the Developing World?

And of course be sure to stop by the Crossway booth, we’d love to meet you!

Learn more about the Lausanne Movement and the Third Congress in Cape Town later in 2010.
