Their preaching styles are so similar yet so different at the same time. Dr. McArthur's style is steady and logical, taking great care to deliver God's Word with obedience to Scriptural responsibility. Dr. Piper's style is overflowing with sweeping descriptions of God's glorious mercy and magnificence😊

Two of my favorite pastors. Thank God for them🙏

[@chrisottenstroer7202]

I respect both of these men immensely but I really love Piper’s humble heart and self reflections.

I enjoyed listening to this, much like their conversation at the Puritan Conference.

I love John MacArthur !

[@HearGodsWord]

@@TheCannonofMohammed glad to hear it 😊

This talk may very well be the one that's going to snap me out of my years of slumber. I'm in tears. God bless these men and thank God for giving me the means to listen to this.

Again, the very two reasons why we have the true gospel nowadays.

[@THEEArmoredSaint]

I love when they get a laugh. I see them as children. Though, they are such men

[@PaulLee-rs8uw]

Praise to the Lord( Jesus) and thank you both for sharing.

This was a really great discussion between two powerhouse preachers of the Word of God! It was just a blessing to hear it, thank you for posting it. Two very different personalities and styles, I can relate to both in different ways, I have so much respect for both of them.

[@HearGodsWord]

@@gordo191 does that mean you don't find rest in Christ?

[@tobytopanga]

It says salute to love God with all your soul, heart mind and strength and love one another as you love yourself. Why is it so hard to love children of Satan or people you know to be living in sin and evil. How can I open my heart and be obedient to the Lord?😊

[@ead630]

Is this the original aspect ratio?

[@TheCannonofMohammed]

John, one of your readers said my continued posting is annoying him. I do not want to be an annoyance to anyone, but I’m loathe to let any opportunity slip away by which you could explain yourself. Answer the following questions: 1) what did you mean when you said Trump, the very man God used to end Roe and to end Obama’s world abortion initiative, couldn’t be prolife? 2) why am I, basically a single issue voter, both naive and presumptuous for voting for the man who has done more to fight abortion than you could do in 10 lifetimes?

[@smokyquartz5817]

Yuck it up. These guys cause real pain and suffering.

[@dawnb8906]

Can you expand/explain? 🤔

[@smokyquartz5817]

@@dawnb8906 They're constantly preaching against healthy relationships, accountability for evil acts, loving thy neighbor. They break up families, they joyfully keep people in misery, teach them to hate themselves. Against minorities who did nothing to them, for decades. Sincerely what don't you see?

Conviction hurts, but don’t blame these men. You would need to take that up with God: “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬ ‭ESV‬‬
