Intro - Piper's Principles (Working Title!)

Desiring God has been turning my world upside down.

I've been reading through it during April with Piper's church.  Along the way, he has been posting discussion interviews about the book.  Sadly, I have missed all of those!  But, I'm hoping they're stored away somewhere around the internets.

I am going to be sharing some sweet little nuggets from his book.  Some may be small, some may be way too deep to even try to explain on a blog, but I'm still going for it.  I'm planning to write a post for each chapter starting next week.  Let's say, on Thursdays.  We'll call the posts Piper's Principles.  Or maybe, "Desiring God" Goodies. 

I'll work on the title.  But May 5th will be the start.  It's an amazing book, and I'm excited to share some thoughts!

As a teaser, here's a big idea I've been wrestling with:

Do you want God, or do you want His gifts?  Did you receive Jesus Christ from guilt and shame, or is He your Treasure?  Do you believe that there is unending delight and joy in serving God and loving others?

Could it be that today the most straightforward biblical command for conversion is not, "Believe in the Lord," but, "Delight yourself in the Lord?" - Piper
