His new book, reviewed here by Shane Morris, gives some answers. (Sadly, the answers are mostly troubling.)<\/p>\n<p> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/barnabaspiper.com\/2024\/11\/3-powerful-effects-of-thankfulness-to-god.html\">3 Powerful Effects of Thankfulness to God<\/a> <\/p>\n<p data-beyondwords-marker=\"2fbd733c-fd9a-408a-808f-b10d691ae831\" class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barnabas Piper explains three powerful effects of thankfulness to God. &#8220;I write all this to put thankfulness in a new and more substantial position for us.

And moreover, thankfulness is a powerful weapon for followers of Jesus.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dashhouse.com\/the-unknown-pastor\/\">The Unknown Pastor<\/a> <\/p>\n<p data-beyondwords-marker=\"cb30dc9e-f55a-4831-b6a9-305a25d1233c\" class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would imagine each of us knows a pastor who fits the description Darryl offers here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A La Carte: Jordan Peterson wrestles with God \/ 3 powerful effects of thankfulness \/ The unknown pastor \/ God is good regardless \/ Anyone can be a prayer warrior \/ and more.See AlsoA La Carte (November 20)Weekend A La Carte (September 14)A La Carte (June 11)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":113258,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[31],"tags":[306],"class_list":["post-113241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tim-challies","tag-a-la-carte","et-has-post-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biblicalcounselor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/cover-a-la-carte-thu-a-3-1.jpg?fit=1920%2C1219&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=113241"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113241\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":113260,"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113241\/revisions\/113260"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/113258"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=113241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=113241"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=113241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
