Who Likes Running?

Okay this post is not about running but about a particular morning that I was listening to a sermon by John Piper while out on a run.  This sermon was an overview of Romans 1-7, during a season where he was preaching through the book.  The entire sermon was well over 200 sermons.

During the sermon I was impacted by what I believe to be a great definition for what sin is.  Sin certainly encompasses more than this but I do not think that it is less.  I hope that you are blessed and that this little blurb causes you to pursue holiness.

"The glory of God is not honored.
The holiness of God is not reverenced.
The greatness of God is not admired.
The power of God is not praised.
The truth of God is not sought.
The wisdom of God is not esteemed.
The beauty of God is not treasured.
The goodness of God is not savored.
The faithfulness of God is not trusted.
The promises of God are not relied upon.
The commandments of God are not obeyed.
The justice of God is not respected.
The wrath of God is not feared.
The grace of God is not cherished.
The presence of God is not prized.
The person of God is not loved."
