Welcome back to the Asperster John podcast with John Piper as we wrap up a week number

675 of the podcast, 675 consecutive weeks of podcasting now.

It's almost 13 years.

We're coming up on 13 full years now over a quarter of my entire life.

And so I hope this feed has helped point you to the all satisfying joy found alone in Jesus Christ.

That's what we give our lives to at DG to this work of pointing you to Jesus Christ.

And it's our mission every day, our mission every day at desiring God to make and share

resources that help people find that joy in Jesus. And if we've done that in your life,

consider partnering with us in the mission. I know your, I know your life is busy, but as we

come to the end of the year, if you have been blessed by free access to our resources and you want

to offset for others the cost of free, as we're calling it, the cost of free, consider a one-time

gift or a monthly gift to help support everything that we do. You can make that gift now or set

up monthly giving at give. Dot desiringgod.org.

That's give.desiringgod.org.

Life is busy.

So busy does it feel like God sometimes fades into the background of your days.

Today on Ask Pastor John, Pastor John sounds a wake-up call against a silent killer.

We get there from our Bible reading. If you are reading along with us in the Navigator's Bible

reading plan, you know that we just started reading Zephaniah, leading to this question from a 19-year-old

college student. Hello, Pastor John. And thank you for Ask Pastor John, which I listen to

every week and love it. Wonderful. I write because FNA112 has been weighing on my heart. It says this.

At that time, I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the men who are complacent.
