How Precious is the Bible?

This Sunday at Joy Community Fellowship I'll be doing my best -- with the Spirit's help -- to motivate, persuade, encourage and inspire our congregation to devote themselves to the Word of God in 2011.

This video was a timely bit of inspiration for me: John Piper at the Lausanne answering these five questions to determine how important the Bible is:

1. What would happen if it did not exist?
2. What would you give to have it or keep it?
3. What does it make possible?
4. How does it weather critics and detractors?
5. How much effort should be given to spread it and preserve it?
