Throwback: "Boasting Only in the Cross"
May 20, 2009 | By: David Mathis | Category: DG ResourcesJohn Piper was asked to write about a Passion conference memory for the Passion Twenty Ten website. Here’s what he wrote:
Speaking at the first OneDay (2000) was a stressful and moving experience.
On the one hand, the wind threatened to blow my notes away, and I was distracted by having to hold them down.
But on the other hand, I felt carried along, even in my weakness, like a father speaking to tens of thousands of people young enough to be my children.
It was a kind of turning point for me from twenty years of being a younger pastor rallying comrades in the Great Cause, to being a kind of Stand-In Father and Distant Mentor to thousands of hungry minds.
Things have never quite been the same since then. It was and is a great honor and joy to be touched by (His) Passion.
Read or listen to Piper’s message from OneDay 2000, called “Boasting Only in the Cross.”
