God is God-Centered

John Piper recently spoke at the Evangelical Theological Society, and his lecture was entitled, "Why God is Not a Megalomaniac in Demanding to Be Worshiped."

I highly recommend that you read his theses on the God-centeredness of God. The American evangelical church is simply wasting away on anthropocentrism. In other words, our main focus is man: his hopes and dreams, his felt needs. It is extremely rare to read books and to hear sermons that consistently exalt the triune God. Piper is an exception. He is a rare breed. Of course, his theology comes straight from Jonathan Edwards and goes way back to the Apostle Paul. Enjoy this God-centered, God-saturated read!
