John Piper was asked, “If you could say one thing to the next generation of church leaders, what would it be?”
I think his answer is good for everyone.
Make the Bible the supreme intellectual and emotional authority in your life, for the sake of magnifying Christ in the fullness of his person and his work, so that generation after generation preserves the foundation and the capstone of the glory of God in Christ, and the grace that is the apex of that glory.
