Don't run to the television tonight, today.

Don't run to the game.

Don't run anywhere but to him.

In this episode of Light and Truth, John Piper turns to John 4, 16 to 26, to show how Jesus breaks through our defenses to offer living water that truly quenches our deepest desires.

One of the evidence is that we are not drinking Jesus,

or because you're a believer and something has begun to lure you to another fountain, starting to go there,

or you've just blocked him out because you've got some hidden thing you want to keep doing or

whatever.

One of the evidences of not drinking deeply from Jesus

is the instability of constantly moving from one thing to the next

seeking to fill the void.
