There is no promise of deliverance from death in this world. But there is a command to keep doing good until your dead. -1 Peter 4:19 | John Piper
command
When people say
When people say that they don’t “feel close to Jesus,” I ask them if they are making disciples. After all, his promise to be with us is directly tied to his command to make disciples. -David Platt
Rejoice is as much a command
“Rejoice” is as much a command as “repent”. – Andrew Bonar
They are not leaders
They are not leaders because of brilliancy…but because, by the power of prayer, they could command the power of God. – E.M. Bounds
