‘The Joy of the Lord Is Your Stronghold’

Read the transcript of this message:

[matthewweisser]

It’s amazing that after all these years of teaching, Piper has managed to continue viewing that Bible through the lens of a student. Still continuing to learn at that age is admirable

[maxwellclark]

Joy is expressing the happiness of God in the face of the melancholy of sin.

[jesusistheanswer]

So beautiful, the Joy of the lord. Before I knew the Lord all joy was fleeting.
And now each day, I can have joy even in hard times because I know Gods plan, that i now further, is the way and his way is music to my soul

[jennygibbons]

The Joy of the Lord is my strength

[maxwellclark]

Joy is God-driven, whilst Happiness is circumstance-driven.

Try this prayer out guys, It has been so amazing in my life! "Lord, do WHATEVER it takes to align my will with yours."

Joy is a good feeling in the soul, produced by the Holy spirit as he makes us see and savor the glory of Christ in the word and in the world.

[atulofau]

it's my first time to understand about the concept of Christian Hedonism,
it's fascinating and challenging that you keep faithful even in the midst of persecution and suffering

14:35 Jesus, the Supreme treasure of our life, the satisfaction of our souls 💚
19:09 .. Joy, a good feeling, in the soul 🌼 produced by the Holy Spirit 🌼 as He makes us see and savor the glory of Christ in the Word and the World

[karyfang-chen]

as a redeemped child of God, it is normal that we have awareness of our sin by the work of the holy spirit through the word of God (either the bible or sermon like this...), and this awareness has come to a deep conviction on our sins. which brings remoseful feeling, weeping, and even grieving. But tears are not good if we stopped here. We have a choice to choose not to control by this emotion and choose to rejoice in the Lord. The sense of conviction or remorse must not be greater than the sense or the knowledge of that God is doing a great work in our life to be more like Christ.
