God Can’t Take Risks, and You Should

John Piper says it's heresy to claim God took a risk by creating the world or sending his Son, because a God who knows everything and can do anything never has to guess how things will turn out. That same sovereign God is what frees you to step out in faith when you can't see the outcome, because nothing bad can happen to you that isn't good for you. Take a look at Piper's banquet keynote with John Ensor and Mark Nicholson, from Joab's battle cry to the promise of Romans 8, and find the courage for your own next step of faith on this episode of PassionLife.
