I hope that all of you have come across and listened to this message from John Piper called “Doing missions when dying is gain.” It really good and convicting in many ways. I gave a copy to my friend a couple of years ago and he was ready to sell his clothes and get out on the missions field and die. His wife was not to happy with me. 🙂 She said, “My husband is never listening to Piper again!”

Here it is. Enjoy and don’t blame me for the results and don’t tell your wife (or husband) you got it from me. This is top secret stuff. Oh, and don’t listen to this alone, in the presence of children, or before going to Best Buy.
