Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn’t. Worship is ultimate, not missions, because God is ultimate, not man. When this age is over, and the countless millions of the redeemed fall on their faces before the throne of God, missions will be no more. It is a temporary necessity. But worship abides forever.
So begins Let the Nations Be Glad, John Piper's biblical defense of the supremacy of God in missions. The third edition was just released, containing revisions and expansions throughout, as well as new material on the prosperity gospel. (Download the Introduction, "New Realities in World Christianity and Twelve Appeals to Prosperity Preachers")
Also available are the altogether-new Let the Nations Be Glad DVD and corresponding Study Guide. The DVD, which is divided into six 30-minute sessions, is a great tool for conveying the book's message to more than one person at a time. The Study Guide adds to the DVD experience by leading its readers to interact with the material firsthand and in group discussions.
