[AIRBORNE]

Great video, and a even greater message!

[GermaeAnne]

wow!!! so cool! thank you for posting this!

[robertwhelpley]

Can I use a clip of this video for my mission non-profit?

Those who are living in sin are the ones who are like puppets, controlled by their evil desires and selfish natures. Not having the freedom to become the best that they can be, whom God created them to be. But in JESUS, in HIM is real freedom, serving Him is freedom!!! And who the Son has set free is free indeed!
And, seeing Him is seeing everything including your lies. And that's why we (whose eyes have been opened) are able to make the right decisions. Praise God for His love and wisdom!

There was actually that category in the video. It said about the 3 kinds of Christians as the "Zealous goers, zealous senders and the disobedient."

@firmware1000 First, I would like to point out that these are simply excerpts from several messages, so by watching this video alone, it's not possible to get any sense of the context that he's speaking in. Second, I agree with you wholeheartedly in your statement that we need to be just as willing and ready to share the gospel with the person next to us as the person in another culture. I don't, however, see how this video is in opposition to that.

Is there a way to get the raw file on this? If we try to show a YouTube in church on our HD projectors, it looks bad. If there is a way to get a better file, we'd love to show this at our missions weekend. Thanks for doing this!

@ Mike Nelson This is really an powerful synthesis of these quotes! Great work!  Would you be willing for us to use this on 3/4 for our missions conference at Bethel Free Church in Fairmont, MN?

[Barnabas]

Awesome! Also, what program do you use to make these videos? It's be pretty cool to be able to make videos like this for the church I go to.

[rnadunn]

What program is used to create a video like this?

[keithcochran]

I am wanting to show this clip at my church, but I'd like to use different background music. Is that possible? Do you have a version with only Piper dialogue?

[newcreaturecory]

#1 Stunna is playing in the background....that is sooo funny lol.

What i cant understand is why the 60 billion + put into the offering plate every year isn't being used to send out missionaries. That is enough to put 500 million missionaries in field. 500 million missionaries would only have to reach 14 people each with the gospel. This could likely be done in ONE DAY. Sadly, flocks of beaten sheep give their tithes to evil clergymen who want to acquire wealth, power, and privilege off the backs of the working poor.

The second fall is found in verse 19. “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” Satan fell a second time when Jesus gained dominion over him at the cross.

[kabalankay]

The LORD Jesus Christ, Sovereign above ALL, has already ORDERED us, his Disciples, to DISCIPLE the Nations. It's NO ONE's option to go or to stay. If we ALL obey, it's His blessed problem to figure out how we'll all do it. We just have to OBEY. We DON'T have to try and figure anything out. If He wants anyone to stay, it's up to Him, He'll decide and He'll show him or her why and how and where to stay. But His ORDER is to DISCIPLE ALL peoples!
