Those We Admire

"There is a simple principle at work in all this which I think everyone in this room can agree to. The principle is this: We become like those we admire most."

John Piper, The Blazing Center Study Guide, p. 88.


Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us. For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.

Philippians 3: 17-19, ESV
