In This Momentary Marriage Pastor John unpacks the biblical vision of marriage, with all of its unexpected contours and weighty implications, for married and single folk alike.

Pastor John:

Most foundationally, marriage is the doing of God. And ultimately, marriage is the display of God. It displays the covenant-keeping love between Christ and his people to the world in a way that no other event or institution does.

The price William Tyndale, Adoniram Judson, and John Paton paid to translate the Word of God, pave the way for missionary mobilization around the world, and lead the hostile to Christ was great. Yet their stories show how the gospel advances not only through the faithful proclamation of the truth but through representing the afflictions of Christ in our sufferings.

Today we are pleased to announce the launch of our new Arabic website, attuuqlilaah.org.

Last September, just before our National Conference, we told you about the need for more online resources in Arabic, and the opportunity we had to create a website. And we invited you to join in supporting that work.

Through gifts made on the web and at the conference, the Lord raised all that we needed and much more. Praise him! We are using that extra money to develop even more resources for the site.

There are already 20 Arabic resources available. Many more are on the way, which we will be adding gradually over the coming months (God willing).

Session 4, John Piper's biographical sketch of J. C. Ryle —

Read the entire manuscript of the message:
"The Frank and Manly Mr. Ryle" — The Value of a Masculine Ministry"

The audio and video will be posted on Friday.

Jesus tells us a story about a fool in Luke 12.

This fool was a rich man — a productive farmer who built big barns to store his increase. And there's nothing necessarily wrong with that. We need productive farmers in this world.

But if it's not riches that makes this man a fool, what is it?

Expounding this story and giving personal application, John Piper explains the heart matter of money, and how what we do with it brings hazard or help.
