When I Don't Desire God

0.0 /5.0

We all want to experience liberating, love-producing, risk-taking satisfaction in God. But the reality is that we often struggle to find, and hold onto, true and lasting joy even when we have embraced the good news of God's grace. So we face a crucial question: What should I do when I don't desire God? For over twenty-five years John Piper has trumpeted the truth that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him. He calls it Christian Hedonism. The problem is that many people, after being persuaded, find that this truth is both liberating and devastating. Its liberating because it endorses our inborn desire for joy. And it's devastating because it reveals that we don't desire God the way we should. What do you do when you discover the good news that God wants you to be content in Him, but then find that you aren't? The absolutely urgent question becomes: What can I do if I don't have it? With a pastor's heart and with radical passion for the glory of Christ, John Piper helps you answer that question. He says; "I long to be of help to believers and unbelievers who are seeing some of the radical heart-changes demanded by the Bible in the Christian life; especially that we must desire God more than anything. I am not interested in superficial, external behavior changes, which the Pharisees were so good at"
