Let The Nations Be Glad
The supremacy of God in missions
Description
The goal of missions, John Piper contends, is to bring the nations to worship the greatness and glory of God. but worship is not only the goal of missions, it is also what fuels missions. 'Passion for God in worship precedes the offer of God in preaching. You can't commend what you don't cherish. Missionaries will never call out, "Let the nations be glad!" who cannot say from the heart, "I rejoice in the Lord...I will be glad and exult in thee. I will sing praise to thy name, O Most High"'
Contains two brand-new chapters on the godly motivation for mission and the significance of Christian worship.
