Does that sound familiar? Your country thrives on this statement, right?
Would it surprise you if I agreed with them? You can have whatever you want.
You argue over who is greater: myself, Piper, Driscoll, Stanley or Keller. Again, you can have whatever you want. So, pick one of us. Take your pick. You want to live or die. You pick. You can have whatever you want. You want to live it up now or plan for the future. You can have whatever you want.
Everything is yours. But...
You belong to Jesus Christ. You are bound to Him. You are completely bound to God.
So, everything you have - everything your wisdom and the wisdom of others can get you - all of it belongs, not to you, but to God.
There is not pride in the life of a believer. You cannot brag about your wisdom. You cannot brag that you follow me or Piper, because we belong to God too.
Before I move on, let me beg you once more.
Do not let the wisdom of your country's men or women cause you to fight against each other.
You all belong to God. You are one in Him.
