John Piper, “Will We Risk? Venturing in Ministry” (audio sermon only):
Safety is a mirage. It ought to be. And yet our churches — American churches — are filled with people who only dream security, now and until they drop dead. Maximize safety. Maximize security. Maximize comfort. It’s the total opposite of the Biblical vision of life. Risk is normal. It’s right.…You can’t escape risk. It’s a mirage. It’s an enchantment. It’s a dream world to think you can escape it.
