A God-centered and spiritually helpful response by John Piper at the Desiring God conference I attended this weekend.

"The question can sound as if we are asking for tips...but the real issue is, "Has a person developed... a worldview with wrath, holiness, judgment, atonement, propitiation, forgiveness, justification? It's a massive place to be where the identification of a good thing in you has meaning other than the building up your ego. A tip won't work there, only a worldview will. A worldview that says I'm damned, I'm on my way to hell, I'm invariably proud, I'm saved by grace. It is not three tips, but a massive worldview by which something can come to me [as an encouragement]."

The blush of the proud and the blush of the humble could not be further apart.
