Piper on our God-centered God

John Piper spoke at the Evangelical Theological Society in Providence, Rhode Island, a couple of weeks back. Sam Storms has the text at his website, so by all means read the whole thing (it's brief), but I just want to snip this oh so Piper-esque gem:
. . . if we are God-centered simply because we consciously or unconsciously believe God is man-centered, then our God-centeredness is in reality man-centeredness. Teaching God's God-centeredness forces this issue of whether we treasure God because of his excellence or mainly because he endorses ours.
