I love these videos, keep them coming Pastor! Really challenges me to continually examine myself

[@Cesar_servant_of_Christ]

Amazing how John Piper unpacked the message of this passage, oh my it really made a lot of sense and shed a lot of light about how this passage relates with my personal life. Praise God for such men because is his Holy Spirit imparting them wisdom and grace otherwise they would be fool and ignorant of the truth as the rest of mankind.

[@darrenwatson9144]

Thank you for the teaching Pastor John!

[@alexl5660]

Thank you. This is very sad truly as Paul says also

[@kathleenwharton2139]

God Gives us our Desires! We just Need to Seek God First..and Keep them in Line.

[@jdw616]

Simply the flesh vs. the spirit.

[@val_smiling]

Very clear and convicting message. Thank you!

[@heliaalves9062]

Thank you for such an amazing explanation, I can barely wait for the next video!

[@keemmahkitane8110]

Pastor, keep them coming! Such meat!

I can't help but be reminded of a certain group of people that may be found clad in rainbows during the month of June while celebrating a certain "appetite" that they have allowed to take the place of God. It's no wonder that it's socially unacceptable to criticize them or to call out their sin for what it is; you're blaspheming their god when you do. And those parades they hold and the flags they wave are not for no reason; they are actually a form of worship to their god.

[@ipodrogify]

When the irony of Rainbows is based on Genesis 9:13 it is proof that God keeps His word. Using the rainbow for a different meaning than its intended purpose is also blasphemous.

[@robraver]

@@ipodrogify ermm its a law of physics surely? ie light being broken into the visible spectrum.

[@hijaovercomer5500]

Awesome

[@arturkvieira]

This is beautifull!!!

[@JayBando213]

Amen

[@randykimbrough3046]

This is really convicting, because I struggle with sexual sin. I don’t want this to become my god and it is not my god. I’ve struggled with this since I was 8 when I was molested by a woman

[@randykimbrough3046]

K G Thanks

[@randykimbrough3046]

Christ Jesus Loves Carlie Trogicj Amen thank you

[@Xx0GsaburzxX]

You need to know who God is, read His word (the Bible) and you will see the promises He makes that give us a hope in Him. (Through His word giving us peace)

[@iChristianGurl]

May Jesus Christ set you free. First step: run to the Holy Bible! Your answer is found in there.

[@jdw616]

God's long-suffering mercy leads to repentance.....

[@b.tabalba8531]

Great lab! Learning more and more now that I've gotten this far. I can't help to wonder...where does this all fit in relation to Dante's Inferno and the Nine Circles of Hell...?

[@alexhaynesjr]

Sad to say I'm In this category I overeat alot I'm dealing with alot of sins I need diliverence badly I'm heading to hell idk what to do

[@ipodrogify]

This parallels Romans 16:18

[@robraver]

hmm, food for thought (pardon the pun) so I take it this means that those who get involved in bad practices are in deep trouble...IF their consciences are NOT bothered? I have been far from perfect, so many times, but the 'troubling thoughts' were never far away. Its only in more recent times I have realised the utter futility of doing things my own way. Its not about day to day living, but more about being involved (as I was) in unmarried relationships and such like.

The Righteousness of God In Christ Jesus You don’t love Him if you don’t obey Him!

[@sophiedegenhardt5044]

How can we get a healthy balance between being overly uptight about these things on the one hand and being completely thoughtless on the other hand? Towards the end of Ecclesiastes it says that we can and should enjoy our life and the good gifts of the Lord. I know this doesn't necessarily contradict the message of the video, but our intuitive reaction can be this uptightness I mentioned, which is surely not the way a Christian should live

[@robraver]

couldnt agree more. Although I dont think he is going on about the things in life we enjoy...as such. Its more about churches and believers being waylaid onto things that are not God honouring....in that the Gospel is distorted to suit whatever lifestyle they are promoting. Things like food and sex and so on are great things, but taken to excess or not used and respected properly then things get out of control. As for the uptight thing? we cant change people, and its pointless 'tutting' over behaviours, especially with the unbeliever. However, its good to help brothers and sisters in Christ, to keep check of whatever fad they might/or are involved in.

[@kipgibbs8323]

Who are “they?”

[@KA2HRO]

Over complicating a pretty straightforward passage. IMO

[@mjmamat4058]

Well what you call over complicating, others call expounding. I for one am grateful that John Piper and the saints of old have spent their lives mining for gold within God’s word to help us all grow in understanding of His nature and character.

[@kaiami80]

I totally agree M J - too many people skim through the Word. It takes a lot to dig in and fully understand. I’m grateful for these teachers as well. God bless.

[@arturkvieira]

Things are deeper than they look, friend

[@KA2HRO]

M J Mamat thank you for your comment.

[@KA2HRO]

Kai thank you for your comment.

[@goddyab]

Amen
