Piper on Sleeping for the Good of Your Soul Posted: 09 Mar 2014 10:01 PM PDT John Piper talks about how his sleeping habits affect him in the fight of faith: ” … I am emotionally less resilient when I lose sleep. There were early days when I could work without regard to sleep and feel energized and motivated. In more recent years my threshold for despondency is lower on less sleep. For me, adequate sleep is not just a matter of staying healthy. It’s a matter of staying in the ministry – I’m tempted to say it’s a matter of persevering as a Christian. I know it is irrational that my future should look so bleak when I get only four or five hours of sleep several nights in a row. But rational or irrational, that is a fact. And I must live within the limits of fact. Therefore we must watch the changes in our bodies.” – When I Don’t Desire God, 205 In Secret Church 14, “The Cross and Everyday Life,” one of the topics we’ll cover is The Cross and Resting. Join us as we think through this and other daily routines in light of the gospel.
