Piper said it right "Thousands are living on borrowed faith. We are living off the dividends, as it were, of intellectual and doctrinal investments made by pastors and church leaders from centuries ago. But the �central bank� of the Bible was not meant to fund future generations
merely on the investments of the past. They are precious, and I draw on them daily. Everyone does, even those who don�t know it. But without our own investments of energy in the task of understanding, the Bank will close�as it has in many churches."
