Give it up for John
So I had not really heard of John Piper until recently when I started to check out the Desiring God website. They also have a ministry targeted to children.
They make excellent use of the net and apparently the website contains all Piper’s sermons and articles since he started in ministry. I love seeing a dude giving away all his stuff!!!
Messages (audio and written) and books are all over this site.
They have a great blog which is where I found out about the Children Desiring God conference, that was just held in April. And has begun my fascination with John’s writing and speaking.
He talks about kids A LOT.
Just search for children on the site and it brings up over a thousand results of message and articles that reference kids…
So…
To the conference.
Check out the sessions from the conference blogged in great detail! You can listen to John in Session One delivering the message.
I love seeing ministries just giving away stuff… going beyond a ‘podcast’ or free samples… they literally give away the farm…
For an idea to spread it needs to get out to the people. Your idea could be the exactly the right thing the world needs, but if no one ever hears it… it’s just a good idea.
John Piper is taking his ideas to the world.
One of his articles had a great impact on me recently taking a passage from Psalm 78 and building a message about God’s plan to pass on the word to children.
Check out Johnny boy! You could learn a lot (I did)!
