"Count... graduation as loss" ... that really hit hard. God is really trying to teach me this right now. 2 weeks until my final exams ever at uni, and God is disciplining me to put Him first, get rid of my idolatry for education/success, and to deny self. All of my peers are studying right now and as much as I want to study right now to try and get the best grades so close before exams, God is making me seek Him first. It's definitely painful killing the flesh but I know that God knows best. We should do everything for Him so the moment we value and put anything above Him, and the moment we find our worth in anything other than Him, we are committing grave idolatry.

Dango Daikazoku Amen

[@mattosamanandesu]

I'm wrestling with God over the same stuff. I don't want to pursue the world...

[@rebeccabranch597]

I'm praying for my family because that is what they live for vacations an retirement, now days Christians don't ask God for his will for there life now they take there plan before God an tell him to bless it! thank you Lord for changing my way of thinking an praying.

[@CONQUISTADOR79]

Thank you mr John I’m 40 and wasted all that being a atheist and not I meet Jesus Christ so I’ve seen your channel before but kinda walked away and ignored it due to fear but thank you for not giving up on us and thank you John for listening to Gods calling may you be blessed and what ever you do and touch prosper for your victory and for Gods glory. Thank you once again

[@TedMcAuley]

So true! Thank you for putting together this great video. So convicting. May the world turn to the Lord Jesus Christ with all of its heart today!

[@musictechstudios]

Not many people are willing to lose "friends" for this message, I dare you to try. Blessed is this man of God who risk the friendship with the world to preach this truth.

[@nemanyaraikah]

🙌😪 Jesus is EVERYTHING! 🙏

[@thisiskriss6455]

I thank God John Piper, that your life isn't a waste. We experience God's glory through you. May I love Him more than anything else.

[@nungodzudo-o4963]

AMEN

[@shek3131]

Wonderful and enlightening message to the young people who are are running after the world (Job money fame luxury life ) .. I regret that I too traveled in that path.

[@darthjedi99]

I am ashamed and I desire Jesus above all.

[@thispak]

Just don't be ashamed of the Gospel =) Romans 1:16

[@purposebydesign5511]

True that. I hope to not waste my life, but live purposefully. whether i live 42 years or 82 years. it really doesn't make a difference. i have seen how life just gets wasted even by family members. it gets worse when they reach that retirement - life has become just more empty. daily. its such a shame. i wouldn't want to live like that ever. no teenagehood, middle-age nor "retirement" money goals is worth one wasting their lives! the life that Christ gives is too wonderful to just waste.

[@jessewallace12able]

This is amazing. Absolutely amazing. I never thought about it like this.

[@CHARLIEBrownz]

Praise the Lord Jesus. God I needed know my purpose in your kingdom! Hallelujah Lord Jesus!

[@truelylyngdoh8644]

I too am in that stage where I'm looking for God's guidance in my life. I have been worldly, been lustful and greedy. All of these things are only chaining me in stead.

[@hopegospel8813]

thank you holy jesus

[@rdelozier1]

That, my friends, is what is called "A message from God". Sure it was Piper's voice....but it was God's prompting and instructions. May I live like this...one day at a time...so that one day it can be said "This life was not wasted."

[@yhengautovlog2392]

Amen, many times I’m bless to this video,glory to God

[@GospelThoughts]

All glory to God!

[@helenabogale7050]

[@lightoffaithfulness1033]

Wow. This is a very powerful video!

[@Norseman870]

Amen. I would definitely want to spend a bit more down time as a senor but do it well. Spend quality time with grandchildren or as a mentor to underprivileged youth. Being a mentor to young men like my elders in a college men's group setting. Sitting on a beach or in the Norwegian mountains, writing a couple or so books. Taking the time while writing to observe nature, pray, and meditate on God's word --not rush. Leading a quiet contemplative seniors prayer hour group. Pooling extra money together with some other seniors to create a faith based young men's rite of passage weekend. Visiting prisoners - I was jail for a week once. Teaching and one on one tutoring inmates in a writing class. Singing in a choir. Showing young folks how to do outdoor maintenance and construction work at a Christian retreat camp. Speaking at my Alama Mater. Representing a local church on Alama Mater campus with a prayer/food outreach. Traveling to another country like Spain or Germany where the church has dwindled to share the Gospel. NOT blowing lots of money at Disneyland or on a island beach getting drunk. "Pay it forward" and pass the torch. If I do useful stuff like that at the end of my life, I'm faithfully confident I'd have no on-going lingering regrets or restlessness facing mortality which I could not peacefully lay at the feet of my Lord, Christ Jesus.

[@ep8470]

Piper on point... calling it out... Blessings

[@mountaintop7683]

HalleluYah! Praise Yah! Philippians 3:8(BYNV) 8What is more, I even count all to be loss because of the excellence of the knowledge of Mashiak Yahusha my Aduni, for whom I have suffered the loss of all, and count them as rubbish, in order to gain Mashiak,

[@jlogto9953]

[@BeautifullyRewritten]

My goodness James! This is beautiful! Thank you!

[@GospelThoughts]

+Beautifully Rewritten Thank you for watching. So glad it ministered to you!

[@BeautifullyRewritten]

Amen Timothy! God just changed a girl's heart two days ago. I am witnessing her change so rapidly which is causing the fire within me to burn more for the Lord. Let's not waste our lives and focus on Him instead, His kingdom and His righteousness.

[@GospelThoughts]

Run your race with endurance! You are right, it's hard sometimes when everyone else seems not to care about wasting their lives, but God will give us the grace to persevere.

[@thegospelhq7780]

Watched this twice!

[@atypicalmom]

love John Piper

[@JohnCichy]

He's solid

[@cl1204]

Oh the.music is too loud, I can't focus on the words :(

[@TheJimmybeatz]

Wow this preacher has it figured out

[@philipvitkus2109]

John, great principle. But help, please, at least I need practical examples, practical applications, of this principle, this teaching.

[@faithb3038]

Look up Todd White. A practical example of how to not waste your life.

[@Syceroe]

Philip Vitkus Take all things in your life whether it is school or work or family to God in prayer about these things.

See you're close about gladians 3:13 it's actually gladius 13:13 and then there is love is what you're supposed to say it sits right above my door on a piece of glass in my hallway that's where the gate of heaven is I open my door I walk through it I like holy s*** it worked

[@shek3131]

What’s the background music?

[@GospelThoughts]

Shekar Aero The track is: Haunt of Jackals by Lowercase Noises

[@Bumafa]

don't have friends don't have success dont get married don't do anything but praise a guy that cares not at all about your happiness. got it doin it lovin it silence and all

[@GospelThoughts]

Our ultimate joy is found in God himself. So much so, that everything else, while enjoyable, pales in comparison to the satisfaction of knowing Him!

[@Bumafa]

+James E. of knowing his silence?

[@GospelThoughts]

Of knowing His love and mercy to even take interest in us, and not only that, but provide entrance into His presence where there are loud shouts of praise and exuberant songs of thanks for the Gospel.

[@Bumafa]

+James E. we shout to him for him to leave us with nothing but radio silence. bro you're trying and I appreciate that but I'll believe it when it's made real by God

[@GospelThoughts]

I pray He will make it real to you. The supernatural work of God revealing Himself in salvation is sufficient, my words can't supersede that.

[@jonanthony1686]

sometimes Piper drops the ball. This is one of those times smh

[@lukehumphrey7517]

(10 months later) How's that?
