I came to know Christ in jail in 2013 by reading a book, "Overcoming spiritual blindness" by James P. Gills MD. The veil was taken off my eyes. Heaven came through for me in my finances too, getting $25,000 monthly. I can support God's work and give back to my community. God is absolutely more than enough!

How did you do it? Do explain please😐 My family have been into series of sufferings lately

[@Alejandro_Lorenzo]

I have heard a lot of wonderful things about Elizabeth Ann on the news but didn't believe it until now. I'm definitely trying her out

[@Antonella_Carlos]

Same here, with my current portfolio made from my investments with my personal financial advisor (Elizabeth Ann Larson) I totally agree with you

John Piper mannerisms!

[@coachbrendan]

What if Jesus is just a being so likeable, and his presence so desirable, that we fantasize an intimately close relationship with him as our Creator, yet we are actually in a relationship with a CONCEPT that fills our desires as humans for care, love, peace, power over "evil" ???

[@angloaust1575]

Judas knew him quite well!

[@Vokaynroks]

What do you mean by that?

[@angloaust1575]

Many saw him when he was on earth Many followed him One betrayed him Another denied him Many deserted him We today know of him Thru scripture and salvation However his spirit guides And teaches us even if We can't see him.personally Until the resurrection!

[@sharonpoitra193]

Only in a worldly way. If he really had known Jesus, he wouldn't have betrayed him. Probably. The heart is deceitful above all things.

[@user-xq2bm3nq8y]

The ever-sanctimonious Dr John Piper offers up a dystopian future. How so? He believes that good law is negated if it comes from a flawed lawmaker. Joe Rigney stated the other day that we should “pass righteous laws that teach what is good and discourage what is evil”. And how is this to be done when Piper states unequivocally that laws protecting life and freedom are not as “precious” as being against a man who did more to promote righteous law than any other politician in history?

[@vdlresort]

What man are you referring to and what righteous laws?

[@user-xq2bm3nq8y]

@@vdlresort The man? Trump. The laws? Trump steadfastly refused to give one nickel to our global abortion program. Biden has given 2.4 billion, funding millions of abortions. While not a law per se, it was the most righteous policy imaginable. In addition, God used Trump to overturn Roe, and thereby allowing the states to outlaw abortion. Trump also had a spate of executive orders that insured religious liberty. He also reversed several Obama mandates that forced businesses doing business with the feds to have a pro transgender ideology. He also had a foreign policy that didn’t provoke war (of which we now fund two).

[@HearGodsWord]

​@user-xq2bm3nq8y this wasn't John Piper. Stop idolising Trump.

[@user-xq2bm3nq8y]

Piper, do you ever worry that your over-the-top invective against Donald Trump could be be dog-whistle to violence? If being anti-Trump is more “precious” than life and freedom? You tell me. I hope for your sake that Trump remains safe despite continued threats. The guilt you would have would be horrible. I’ve tried in vain to look for a parallel statement from the right and I come up empty handed. Can you help me? Has any conservative ever stated that being against a particular candidate is more important than freedom and even life itself?

[@HearGodsWord]

Paul, this wasn't John Piper. You're more concerned with Trump than you are with Jesus, which is more proof of your idolatry
