Turkish Delight

The greatest enemy of hunger for God is not poison but apple pie. It is not the banquet of the wicked that dulls our appetite for heaven, but endless nibbling at the table of the world. It is not the X-rated video, but the prime-time dribble of triviality we drink in every night. For all the ill that Satan can do, when God describes what keeps us from the banquet table of his love, it is a piece of land, a yoke of oxen, and a wife (Luke 14:18-20).

John Piper: A Hunger for God; intro p14.

I needed to hear this,
a simple statement that cuts right through the clutter & straight to the heart;
time to examine, yet again...
