Our Mindset Effects Our Love

John Piper preached in a sermon:

"It is no heavenlimindedness that hinders love.
It is worldlimindedness that hinders love.

How can I maximize my enjoyment of God for all eternity while I am an exile on the earth?
And his answer is always the same: by doing the labors of love.

When religious people fail to love, it is not because they have fallen in love with heaven,
but because they are still in love with the world."

(quoted in The Hope of Glory, p.37,38, Sam Storms)
