Pastor, You Have the Joy and Privilege To Preach!

Posted on by under John Piper

[The] highest joy [of preaching] is in the great ambition that is set before it, the glorifying of the Lord and the saving of the souls of men. No other joy on earth compares with that. The ministry which does not feel that joy is dead.

John Piper, Desiring God, pp. 109-110

  1. Amen, and amen! BTW, why do folks say that? Is it sorta like saying, “verily verily?”

    Anyway, I love to preach! There is nothing like that moment when you know you are being used as a mouthpiece for the High King.
