What John Piper learned from his father

Here's a list of things John Piper learned from his father, based on his fabulous tribute to him. May God help us live so that our children rise up one day and give us similar tributes!

2. When things don’t go the way they should, God always makes them turn for good.

5. A merry heart does good like a medicine and Christ is the great heart-Satisfier.

6. A Christian is a great doer not a great don’ter.

7. The Christian life is supernatural.
