Regi Addictissimus
Completely sold out to the King
This is coming down the pipeline quickly. Piper spent last weekend cranking this book out. It should prove to be a great resource for those in our midst struggling to make sense of where we are at the moment.
The message is clear. Stay awake. Stay awake. Stay awake. And the birth pains of the natural world are meant for this message. But, oh, how many people are not awake! For all their frenzied activity, they are sound asleep in regard to the coming of Jesus Christ. The peril is great. And the coronavirus is a merciful wake-up call to be ready. The way to be ready is to come to Jesus Christ, receive forgiveness for sins, and walk in his light. Then you will be among those who
"are not in darkness for that day to surprise you like a thief. For you are all children of light. . . . So then . . . let us keep awake. . . . For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him." (1 Thess. 5: 4– 10)
