I love John piper he always preaches so passionately

[KeithThompson]

I praise God for John Piper. This sermon renewed my joy this morning by helping me view my sorrow's through a biblical lens.

This message is deeply important, and it is so vital to our Christianity that we truly ingest and live this message, especially in our world today with SO MUCH unkindness and rampant internal fighting in the church, that we must lean on this embracing of suffering and embracing Jesus coming alongside us in this - by so doing in our sorrow and long-suffering that is when we find Christ, when we see him radiating within ourselves. To die to the self, this is when we truly achieve Joy. This is communion with Christ, to truly allow Jesus inside entirely.

15:58 “nothing comes to us from God, in Christ, that is not from His grace, NOTHING!”

[matthewatokple]

John Piper has been a great source of inspiration to my life. I pray have learned a lot from him for the past years. Thankful to God for His life and gift of insight into the WORD OF GOD. I pray to meet him someday and express how thankful I am to GOD for him.

Time min 14 was a whole storm of immensity that is difficult to comprehend without explanation .

Thank you John Piper for this precious and hopeful message that comes in a time of great turbulence in my life! A powerful reminder of where my spiritual energy should be focused, and I am so grateful for my salvation through our Lord, Jesus Christ, and for the glory that is to come! ✝️

We should just worship the lord in spirit and truth . Use our ears to discern truth with our own heart software inspired by acts 1:8 .
Obey john 14:21 as the only guarantee for successful victory.

Hey John, I was wondering how you first saw the glory of Christ? I recently got off a huge backsliding. I was "saved" at 9 and now at 26 I have such a desire to know God, but here is my problem, I don't like reading my Bible as much as I should. I long to see the glory of Christ as you do but so far that hasn't happened. I know I'm saved because my desires and such have totally shifted (used to be into really secular music) Can you help me to have joy when I read the Bible? Ps. I do read my Bible quite a bit(I've read all of new testament in less than two months)
