Praise to the Lord( Jesus😊1st❤) and thank you pastor John for sharing " A Psalm of Rest" in Christ. And Romans 8:28❤😊 James 3:13-18(Two kinds of Wisdom) "13 Who is wise and understanding among you?

❤James 4:1-12( Submit yourselves to God)❤ "4 What causes fight and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desire that battlw within you? 2 You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. 3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. 4 You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think Scriptures says without reason that the spirit he caused to live in us envied intensely? 6 But he gives us more grace. That is why the Scripture says: " God opposes the proud but give grace to the humble." 7 Submit yourselves, then to God( God of the Bible). Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners and purify your hearts, you double minded. 9 Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble :) yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.( Amen.) 11 Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speak against his brother or judge him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. 12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you- who are you to judge your neighbor? "( James 4:1-12 Zondervan NIV Study Bible)

1 Corinthians 2:15😊❤ " 15 The Spiritual man😊❤ make judgments❤ about all things❤, but😊❤ he😊❤ is not subject to any man's judgment."( 1 Corinthains 2:15😊❤ Zondervan NIV Study Bible)

[@PaulLee-rs8uw]

1 Corinthians 12:1-11( Spiritual Gifts) and 1 Corinthians 12:12-31( One body, many Parts) And( Mainly 2 Corinthians 12:9 too) 2 Corinthians 12:9 " 9 But he( Jesus😊1st❤) said to me, " My grace❤ is sufficient for you, for my power❤ is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more glad about my weaknesses so that Christ( Jesus😊1st❤) 's power❤ may rest on me. 10 That's why, for Christ's( Jesus' 😊1st❤) sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong ❤( in Christ❤). "( 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 Zondervan NIV Study Bible). In Jesus'name, i pray( 2 Corinthians 12:9❤-10❤). Amen.

Part1❤😊: James 3:1-12(Taming the Tongue)😊❤ James 3:1-7: "3 Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. 2 We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keeo his whole body in check. 3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are sterred by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5 Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. 7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man,"( James 3:1-7 Zondervan NIV Study Bible)

[@PaulLee-rs8uw]

James 3:8-12( part2 😊❤) "8 but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With the tongue we praise our Lord( Jesus :) 1st love in Christ) and Father( God, our Father in heaven), and with it( mouth) we curse men who have been made in God's likeness. 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this shoud not be. 11 Can both free water and salt water flow from the same spring? 12 My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water. "( James 3:1-8, part 1 and part2 are James 3:1-12 Zondervan NIV Study Bible)

You will know God's teaching by it's fruit. The characteristics of God shine on those who know him❤

[@jesusistheanswer2074]

It's a good thing John Piper has such a serving heart with zeil in the Lord's work, he takes a humble path, showing others the message of Christ crucified for our sins, by grace through faith lest any should boast.
