[@lewiskabika2935]

The idols of possessions and praise are real in every heart, we love to own material and love to be appreciated by man. All these at the expense of the gospel. Surely the solution is Love for Christ and praise from Christ. Amen

Bless his heart! I am so glad he is saved.

[@Hymns4Him]

The Good News never gets old! Praise the Lord for teaching that gives all the sovereign and complete credit to God! John Piper has made this abundantly clear both in God's Old Testament prophecies and New Testament declarations. The Lord Jesus came as planned to die for our sins and to rise again, and was in complete control of the deliberate process.

Superb brilliant deep Amen

Powerful teaching love John Piper God is using you as a powerful voice

[@guidohlizzi06]

As always, Piper gives a sermon like he gave hundreds, and in one hour, puts me to think for a whole year.

[@claraglatthaar998]

I know what you mean. I listen to some of his sermons over and over. The LORD led me to him while I was grieving a death in my family. His ministry has helped me more than I can describe. God knows. I think Piper is the greatest theologian of our time and a blessing from God.

[@bensonongoma1504]

Amen. God bless you pastor John.

[@HearGodsWord]

This is well timed as I'm reading Mark's gospel at the moment as part of my reading plan

[@KelzBernard]

Marty Blackman that’s awesome. It’s great how God makes His word personal to us. Last night I prayed in a way that Psalm 22 was written. When Dr Piper mentioned it, it helped me to understand that CHRIST understands the way I feel in my sufferings.

Psa 107:1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Psa 107:2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; Psa 107:3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.

Whoa ... "satan, or, the son of man ...".

[@HearGodsWord]

Exactly, there's no grey areas with the LORD

[@andilee2177]

@@HearGodsWord , this is so revealing; an example of why Pastor John's teachings are so powerful, in truth-bombs, for me. Not once in my readings, nor by my local Pastors, (over many years), has satan ever been defined so clearly, honing in on the sinful nature of man. As in, sin, was measured by a separation in degrees on an "evil" scale. - I think, I just met my own prideful nature. Mercy!

[@kenfithen588]

On John Piper's, a leading Calvinism, website it says this, “God brings about all things in accordance with his will in other words, it isn’t just that God manages to turn the evil aspects of our world to good for those who love him,it is rather that He himself brings about these evil aspects for his glory. This includes as incredible and unacceptable as it may currently seem, God having even brought about the Nazis brutality of Birkenau and Auschwitz, as well as the terrible killing byDennis Rader, and even the sexual abuse of a young child.”

continuation :_ Then people may ask ,, _" why Jesus s blood ? not of any ? "The true answer is _: All power is given unto Jesus, in heaven and in earth " _Matt , 28 :18,, including giving His life and take back again i,e power of resurrection,,, _John 10 : 18

[@snehalataborde2640]

Moreover these 2 verses could dogmatize , the reason _why Jesus must had to go on the cross ,,, 1 ) Hebrew 10 : 6 'Jesus said to God The Father, _"In burnt offerings and sacrifice s for sin, Thou hast had no pleasure,,' 'Lo I come to do Thy will, O God ,' ( verse 7 ), 2) Hebrews 2 :14 That through death HE might destroy the devils power of death , ' Thus, the two main reasons are,,' the will of God ' & ' to defeat devil , ' As devil is the murder er, of the soul s of men,, & body , as he has the passion for blood,,,

[@GRACEismyGOODWORKS7]

John Piper preaches a false gospel of working for salvation but none of the fools following him know any better because they don't realize Jesus IS salvation and therefore doing good works for Jesus is the same as doing works for salvation. They assume they have "faith alone for salvation" but continue to offer their own works to God After salvation---therefore continuing to work for salvation under the mirage they are of "faith alone".

[@romualdgarcia9108]

GRACE is my GOOD WORKS : In my understanding John Piper gave his life preaching the gospel, can't you respect his work in Christ ?

[@GRACEismyGOODWORKS7]

Romuald Garcia Surely John Piper and all who believe the gospel he preaches will be damned for all eternity. All who work for Christ as Piper and give their life to Christ will receive the worst damnation in hell.

@@etho98 The mark of the beast is SIN. Everyone with sin has the mark of the beast and worships antichrist. I am here to expose every son of the devil with the mark and to mock them.

[@GRACEismyGOODWORKS7]

@plain liam WRONG. James 2:24 "Man is SAVED by WORKS and not by faith alone". You are forgetting God had to provide WORKS for your salvation and if you have been saved, those are the works you do. If you aren't saved, you do the works of man and every religion. But if you have been saved by God's perfect works, then CHRIST is your PERFECT WORKS, GOOD FRUIT and FULL REWARD.

[@GRACEismyGOODWORKS7]

plain liam Hahaha you just want to keep doing works for salvation
