Example Versus Wonder.

Just finished watching a video of an excerpt from (I believe) John Piper's message on marriage. The topic of the clip was that application of a text does not change people, but glory does.

Through multiple conversations with friends, study, and revelation, I have come to the same conclusion. We are not, as a people, changed (for the better) by bullet lists, examples, challenges, or commands. While every one of these things serve a purpose, they are not the foundation of our betterment.

We were made to behold beauty and wonder. Unfortunately we have exchanged the real beauty and wonder for worship of self, cars, houses, each other. There is beauty there, but it pales in comparison to God.

Check out the video below and send me your thoughts:
