| As the vast majority of us in America enjoy freedom and wealth, millions around the world are being crushed under the weight and reality of sin.
Pray for Iran. Both the loved ones being murdered and the wielders of violent power.

| Pray for the people of Iran. Protesters are being attacked and shot to death as their families cry out.
Piper states (in a series on "Why We Believe the Bible") that if there's no self-contained arbiter of absolute truth (God's Word), then a disagreement between two people becomes a struggle of power. In this case, the one who wields the sword claims ownership of "rightness." Coincidence?
We are hungry.

| Soon and very soon
My King is coming
Robed in righteousness and crowned with love
When I see Him
I shall be made like Him
Soon and very soon
Soon and very soon
I’ll be going
To the place He has prepared for me
There my sin erased
My shame forgotten
Soon and very soon
I will be with the One I love
With unveiled face I’ll see Him
There my soul will be satisfied
Soon and very soon
Soon and very soon
See the procession
The angels and the elders 'round the throne
At His feet I’ll lay my crowns
My worship
Soon and very soon
I will be with the One I love
With unveiled face I’ll see Him
There my soul will be satisfied
Soon and very soon
Though I have not seen Him
My heart knows Him well
Jesus Christ the Lamb
The Lord of heaven
I will be with the One I love
With unveiled face I’ll see Him
There my soul will be satisfied
Soon and very soon
Soon and very soon

| Unless the LORD builds the house,
its builders labor in vain.
Unless the LORD watches over the city,
the watchmen stand guard in vain.
In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
for he grants sleep to those he loves.
—Psalm 127:1-2
