Episode notes
God Protects Fragile Faith
- The Spirit of Christ encourages tender, fragile faith rather than breaking or snuffing it out.
- John Piper uses images of a bruised reed and a faintly burning wick to show God protects weak believers and their small sparks of faith.
Open God's Promises And Wait
- Wait for the Lord and open your heart to God's promises so the Spirit can revive your faith.
- Piper directs listeners to actively 'open the window of God's promises' so the holy wind will fan their spark into flame.
Mustard Seed Faith Is Infinitely Valuable
- A tiny spark of faith is vastly closer to becoming a mountain of faith than to being no faith at all.
- Piper compares a mustard seed to a mountain to emphasize the infinite difference between some faith and none.
