Power of Google

Yesterday we had some wonderful weather, I walked for hours through woods on the ancient Roman road of Ermine Street. I probably saw three cars and five people in a two hour walk, wonderful unspoilt countryside with broom now in flower.

It gave me time to listen to two sermons by John Piper. They were so relevant as we come towards Easter, when we remember Christ's sacrifice, the greatest proof of God's love for us.

Google is amazing in the relevance of some of the adverts it places on my blog! Yesterday on Ermine Street I listen to John Piper, today they had a link to John Piper's sermon backlog http://www.logos.com/piper?googleads&gclid=CM_n7pmc_ZECFQxTQgodBkDp9w Scarey! I am being watched!

I find John Piper a treasure. His material is available free of charge from http://www.desiringgod.org/

A relevant study for us at present is http://www.desiringgod.org/ResourceLibrary/AskPastorJohn/ByTopic/24/2649_What_is_so_important_about_Christian_hope/

John would sum it as:

"The most important verse in the Bible for me, probably, is Romans 8:32:

He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?

Now that last part is hope producing! But it's grounded in the rock-solid statement that "God didn't spare his own son.""
