Spectacular Sins: And Their Global Purpose In The Glory Of Christ (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
What do you think when somebody intentionally hurts you? An ex ruins your finances? A co-worker spoils your reputation? A company for profit terminates your job leaving your family helpless? A senseless tragedy strikes you to the core? Wimpy theology leads to wimpy Christians.If you have ever wondered where God is when suffering comes your way, when indescribable evil strikes your core, then this book will give you convictions from theology, courage for your fears, and comfort from the promises of God. This is not a book for those who don’t want to think, or to think biblically. But if you will take it and read it, you will find great hope and help for your daily living. Piper examines the connection between God’s sovereignty and the reality of sin. While God cannot sin, God can and does use sin to accomplish His ultimate purpose. From the sale of Joseph into slavery to the crucifixion of Christ, the most ‘spectacular sins’ in Scripture are actually part of God’s divine purpose. It’s not just that God made good from these things, but that He actually meant these very sins for good. A thought-provoking, highly-recommended read.
