"God is
pursuing with omnipotent passion a worldwide purpose of gathering joyful
worshipers for Himself from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. He
has an inexhaustible enthusiasm for the supremacy of His name among the
nations. Therefore, let us bring our affections into line with His, and, for
the sake of His name, let us renounce the quest for worldly comforts and join
His global purpose." John Piper
