I am right in the middle of a wilderness....my heart is broken and in despair...this sermon has just reminded me to hold on to Jesus and not complain or question God..simple trust Him
Am so grateful for his ministry , 1 and a half year ago God led me to hear the Gospel message in brother John's channel, his conference about " when I don't desire God" I got saved, and God has changed me to a completely different person, freed me from porn masturbation addiction, homosexuality, idolatry, pride, lust, envy , emptiness, from being a slave of make up, gave me courage, love, hope, freed me from fear of death. And now I hope one day I will be faithfully preaching and serving God too. Praise God, God bless you and your family , give you good health and strength.
May God bless you .....and never look back. God is gracious ,merciful forgiving . Hold on ! Never go back . Freedom is trusting in His forgiveness and looking and moving always forward in Our Saviour Jesus The Great Lord of complete grace and perfect redemption.

_The body grieves with you Mr. Bruce. Over the last 2 years particularly, we have come to understand that each one of His Bride have participated in great suffering with our Lord in these last days...that which is of great value hereafter. God bless you. Maranatha_
Bruce, you may or may no read this but my heart goes out to you. I am recently married (2 years). We got married in a different country from our home country. We needed a witness and a gentleman that lost his wife said he would be our witness (which we needed). He want to give to someone else what was taken from him. My wife and I always are thankful for this man and always ask God to bless him. I cannot imagine the place you are right now but I pray that you too would find peace and that God would bless you with someone not to replace your wife but to be there by your side.
I feel guilty of this sermon😔... I doubted God, I questioned His existence, I did not put my trust in Him after the death of my father but He is so patient to me, that after 20+ years since the lost of my father He looked at me and pick me up and accepted me and gave me His most precious gift, my faith and my salvation through His Son Jesus Christ... just last year 2023 I became born again, and now inside a reformed church. He blessed me all this things even though I am not worthy of this gift... He is so so Good♥️☝️
Several years ago, I hit such a low point that I considered walking away from God. I was a seminary grad who had long been passionate about serving God in ministry, but my life took such a dive that I saw no point in my life, no point in continuing in church, no point in even praying anymore. God did not let me walk away. I continued to struggle for years. In some ways my life has improved, and in some ways I am still in the desert. But last July God reminded me very strongly what it means to be forgiven of my sins and has restored my passion for Him and my trust in Him, maybe more than before.
I can’t stop weeping. Only God knew how precisely this targets my need right now. I am in a virtual wilderness of Sin and have been exhausted by the intensity of the battle against the idea that God is malevolent. Oh, He is so merciful to bring me to this message today. 😭
The patience of our Awesome God ! What a a sermon ! Thank you Pastor John! I love to listen to your sermons. You preach with such passion. Truly a gift from God !
Mmmm our God is so good. He often humbles us to remind us how glorious He is and that He is our source of hope and provision. My favorite section of the Bible (more than a verse) is in 1 Samuel 2. It is a reminder of the greatness of God and the feeble nature of my greatest efforts. God is good when I don’t deserve it. Sometimes, his grace comes in forms that I don’t understand until much later.
Pastor John Piper, thank you for your Ministry, Devotion and joyful heart for The Sovereign Father and The Lord Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit :) ROMANS 14:11 For it is Written, "AS I Live, Says The Lord, Every Knee Shall Bow To ME, And Every Tongue Shall Confess TO GOD." I Say Truly Hallelujah, Hallelujah, AMEN
“God led His people to a camp site with no water” !!! Wow. Amen! God is a good, good God, a great, great God! He led them there to show them so many things. Like He still does for me and you.✝️🙏❤️🙌
Just came across you Pastor!!! Florida says God bless your ministry preaching the true and only Gospel death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ paid for are sins that we may be righteous enough to be in the presence of God thru faith alone not of works. John3;16 Eph.2;8,9 Harpoza soon Pray for Isreal and thankyou for the fight against this false prosperity gospel...
This is just for me as I am struggling right now to come to terms with the spread false doctrines and how it's a great challenge spreading the true Gospel. Thank you, Tim Keller for encouraging me even as you were dying. Praise God for your life.
Powerful message of God's patience and grace to an undeserving people as well as a personal warning not to grieve Him by despising His word when I go through a waterless wilderness. So encouraged!
This message is a powerful reminder of Christ's love for each of us. In today's world, we need this lesson of compassion more than ever. Thank you for sharing this timeless sermon that still speaks to us today.
If there is one hardcore, heart lesson I have learned, it is not outward sins we cry about, but rather COMPLAINING and ingratitude that causes complaining. All frustration equates to not trusting God, but we are usually not aware of it. If we knew we had a million dollars set aside for us in six months, we would not complain about where we are at now. It is the same principle.
Such a powerful sermon! Thank you, Father! I needed this in the midst of my wilderness! Help me to trust you and your goodness to give me water to drink in the wilderness! And help me to love you more than life! You steadfast love is better than life! Psalm 63:3.
35:45 - All these blessings in the old testament were from beneath and earthly - They were transitional. They are not comparable to the surpassing glory of the blessing of the spiritual that is found in Christ.
Like one of the heroes of faith in Hebrews 11, Abraham, I look for a continuing city because I live on unincorporated land. On the outskirts of one town. In the wilderness. Not a part of another town on the other side. "For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God."
Thank You for giving us the signs to look for before Your return. May we not wait to be ready for Your return, because we know not the hour that the Son of Man will return. MAY WE BE READY AND NOT GETTING READY. Let us be Christlike, WALKING RIGHTEOUSLY.❤
“All the congregation of the people of Israel moved on from the wilderness of Sin by stages, according to the commandment of the Lord, and camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink. Therefore the people quarreled with Moses and said, “Give us water to drink.” And Moses said to them, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the Lord?” But the people thirsted there for water, and the people grumbled against Moses and said, “Why did you bring us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?” So Moses cried to the Lord, “What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me.” And the Lord said to Moses, “Pass on before the people, taking with you some of the elders of Israel, and take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go. Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb, and you shall strike the rock, and water shall come out of it, and the people will drink.” And Moses did so, in the sight of the elders of Israel. And he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah, because of the quarreling of the people of Israel, and because they tested the Lord by saying, “Is the Lord among us or not?”” Exodus 17:1-7 ESV bible.com/bible/59/exo.17.1-7.ESV
His name was Jmmanuel, not Jesus. His biological father was Gabriel, his biological mother was Mary (or Maria) and his stepfather was Joseph (or Joshua). He was a King of Wisdom, a Jschwjsch (JHWH). He was nailed to wood (not t-shaped but y-shaped). Jmmanuel did a meditation to stay alive on the y-shaped wood. His friends/family/disciples took him to some cave that doesn't exist anymore. Healers from India traveled to see him and it took them three days to heal him. After that, they all went to India. Christianity has reigned for 1600 years because they conspired to destroy the libraries of the city of Alexandria in 467 AD. Nokodemion is the name of the spirit that was inside of Jmmanuel, a human being. Nokodemion will only appear 7 times as a prophet. The 5th time was Jmmanuel. The 6th time was Mohammed. The 7th and final time is 'Billy' Eduard Albert Meier (BEAM).

At min 9: "Why do you test the Lord? There's a warning. Don't try God's patience! It runs out for people who don't trust Him and despise Him! It runs out! We know how this story ends in the wilderness."
Our God is in the heavens and does whatever He pleases. It pleased God by the foolishness of the preaching of the Gospel to save those who believe 1 Corinthians 1:21. Salvation is conditional on your faith, trust.

Here are a few Scripture verses that support the themes of John Piper's sermon "Our Only Hope in the Wilderness": 1. Isaiah 43:2 - "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you." This verse emphasizes God's promise to be with his people in times of trial, protecting them and keeping them steadfast. 2. Psalm 46:1-3 - "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling." This Psalm also reminds us that God is our ultimate refuge and strength, even in the midst of chaos and uncertainty. 3. Romans 8:28 - "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." This verse can bring comfort in the midst of trials, knowing that God is working all things out for the good of those who love him. 4. Hebrews 4:16 - "Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." This verse reminds us that we can approach God with confidence and find mercy and grace in our time of need, no matter how difficult our circumstances may be.
if God never does anything about my problems, if God just leaves you in the shitter, whats the point of crying out if God does absolutely nothing? I know I've made mistakes, but when does this life ever end? what good does it do to pray and beg and plead for a second chance at life if it never comes? I just feel lately like giving up and ending it all. if you can never get out from under, give me one good reason to keep going? why should I? why live life on the sidelines?
I can relate. I understand what you’re saying. What I’ve come to realize is that my life is God’s and God is good. What I think I need may not be what I actually need.
@@joshcarlin1343 yes, but whats the point of crying out if God does nothing? where is the mercy? why do I have to die before God ever exercises control?
Apostle Paul is taking to the Corinthians about spiritual gifts because they were enamoured with it at the time. He is making a comparison between speaking in tongues and prophesying with the latter more important as it directly edifies the body of Christ through encouragement and increased faith. Tongues however, especially without interpretation, is a unique experience with the Holy Spirit speaking through you to the father where other people do not understand and therefore only really edifies yourself. A lot of people obsess over tongues and use it as a measuring stick for how “spiritual” you are. Apostle Paul is telling us here that, whilst it is important in revealing a unique dimension of God, the edification of the body will always reign supreme. I hope that helps 🙏🏾
A Conversation with satan! Ask him if God exists! Answer “No” Tell satan that you know God exists! Answer “There are many gods” Tell satan that you know there is only one God! Answer “Yes but he is a very cruel god.” Tell satan that he loves you! Answer “ no he only loves some people” Tell satan that the Bible says God loves all people! Answer “ you don’t understand the Bible.” Ask satan what it means. Answer “ Calvinism” " My man John Piper will deceive, er I mean teach you truth!" TRUTH IN LOVE
Ever wondered why God created you? What was His purpose for giving you a body and placing you on this planet? He does nothing without purpose and intent. 1 Corinthians 3:16-20 You have been given a body to house the Spirit of the living God on this earth. We are not the owners of this body only the managers and stewards and the body is a vehicle given to us to fulfill His plan, will and purpose of God while on earth. The eternal purpose of God in Jesus Christ is to give us this new relationship with God (John 3:16; 6:37, 39; 2 Corinthians 5:14-21). Make you self understand; that this is GODS WORDS, Not Mine. Acts 17:27 and Jeremiah 23:23 The problem with God is not that He's so far away that we can't see Him. Rather, He is so close that we overlook Him.That means, if you can not find God within your self, you will not find God in any Church, building, Tabernacle,Temple or place of worship. Including Yours
With a television you don't have to be supernatural. God prefer that because it's more social but we have to use it correctly. Right now we have anarchy blindness. Despite the anarchy blindness I figured it out. That proves we can be God like. Only a person getting crucified would suspect something greater. They crucified me with exact same disease that in pink Floyd the wall. Victor said it's all good. It should be possible to make everything all good.;)

HOPE, HOPE, HOPE?????? Internal personal HOPE is generated by realizing sanctifying grace transforming one's character (ROMANS 5:4.) THEN....... this HOPE encourages one to continues to cooperate, connect with HOLY SPIRIT/grace to become like JESUS...(1 JOHN 3:3) and fit for eternal life!!!!! >>>Pure in heart, meek, HOLY!!!! This is the relevant, practical concept of HOPE!!!!!! The 2nd coming of JESUS and/or substitutionary death of JESUS does not bring HOPE to worldly Laodicean church attending , lip service, rituals of communion. bible study, sermon soaked, doctrinally constipated, pew potatoes.
The demon in sunshine movie is Jesus. It's not reality but people's perceptions. The churches have failed Jesus. Fighting over the star makes more sense than the horrible prophecy fighting over who knows what.(TT)
John, I really wish I could just forget what you did to the prolife community. I can’t. Why? Because you were just mean. Imagine working for almost 50 years to save children from the abortionist’s blade and right when we’re on the very cusp of success have a pastor announce that he thinks we’re “presumptuous”. Presumptuous because we care more about human life than the pride you saw in one man. (And all you have to do is apologize. That you cannot shows YOU to be the one with a pride problem. Just ask forgiveness!)
Say it again John Piper: "God . . . brings about all things in accordance with his will. In other words, it isn’t just that God manages to turn the evil aspects of our world to good for those who love him; it is rather that he himself brings about these evil aspects for his glory (see Ex. @-16; John 9:3) and his people’s good (see Heb. 12:3-11; James 1:2-4). This includes-as incredible and as unacceptable as it may currently seem-God’s having even brought about the Nazis’ brutality at Birkenau and Auschwitz as well as the terrible killings of Dennis Rader and even the sexual abuse of a young child . . .

Florida says God bless your ministry preaching the true and only Gospel death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ paid for are sins that we may be righteous enough to be in the presence of God thru faith alone not of works. John3;16 Eph.2;8,9 Harpoza soon Pray for Isreal and thankyou for the fight against this false prosperity gospel...
This is just for me as I am struggling right now to come to terms with the spread false doctrines and how it's a great challenge spreading the true Gospel. Thank you, Tim Keller for encouraging me even as you were dying. Praise God for your life.
I'm so blessed to hear this message today that reminds me of how God the Faithful One leads his people in the wilderness.
I love to listen to your sermon. I'm Moved to tears everytime I listen to your sermon. God Almighty bless you with long life
Amen. To God be the glory! I thank God, the Father, for this powerful and profound sermon in Jesus name. Amen.
Powerful message of God's patience and grace to an undeserving people as well as a personal warning not to grieve Him by despising His word when I go through a waterless wilderness. So encouraged!
Thank you John for your faithfulness that enables us to receive Light
Amen. Wonderful preaching. A reminder to TRUST GOD in the wilderness. Lord make is so. Thank You Father for the blood of Jesus.
Grant us to trust the Lord!
This message is a powerful reminder of Christ's love for each of us. In today's world, we need this lesson of compassion more than ever. Thank you for sharing this timeless sermon that still speaks to us today.
Thank you Heavenly Father for your great love, provision and mercy.
I love you John Piper!
GOD bless you, Amen. I love Papa John Piper too.
We are amazingly blessed by God and your ability to lead us closer to our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Allah is one, he has no son, he has no partner, can he be the child of a supreme being?

Amén! Brother I agree with your last prayer in the name of Jesus, put trust in my heart Lord. Amen 🙏🏼
Thank you, Pastor John. 🤍 All Glory to God.
If there is one hardcore, heart lesson I have learned, it is not outward sins we cry about, but rather COMPLAINING and ingratitude that causes complaining. All frustration equates to not trusting God, but we are usually not aware of it. If we knew we had a million dollars set aside for us in six months, we would not complain about where we are at now. It is the same principle.
Hello 🥰 I am a John Piper worker and the lord touch my heart and said I should spread the good news on how to become more financial stable
thank you Pastor John
I needed this today!
certainly a wonderful way to explain trusting our Rock of Salvation
Hello Helen, how are you?
Such a powerful sermon! Thank you, Father! I needed this in the midst of my wilderness! Help me to trust you and your goodness to give me water to drink in the wilderness! And help me to love you more than life! You steadfast love is better than life! Psalm 63:3.
Stunning exposition👍- amazing God🙏
My Lord knows the way thru the wilderness
All I have to do is follow
Strength for the day!
What a great Surmon!!
Excellent thank u Lord.
Good preaching it clear
35:45 - All these blessings in the old testament were from beneath and earthly - They were transitional. They are not comparable to the surpassing glory of the blessing of the spiritual that is found in Christ.
On this Friday when Jesus was taken to Pilate to be convicted I am in awe of His Great love for this sinner🙏
This message drives me near to our one and only LORD!❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for message sir!
Like one of the heroes of faith in Hebrews 11, Abraham, I look for a continuing city because I live on unincorporated land. On the outskirts of one town. In the wilderness. Not a part of another town on the other side. "For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God."
So grateful for this word. Incredibly encouraging!
Thank you Pastor John for the timely message
Amen fresh revelation! God bless you more Ptr. John Piper I am thankful to God in yourife!
Hello Elanie, how are you?
Thank You for giving us the signs to look for before Your return. May we not wait to be ready for Your return, because we know not the hour that the Son of Man will return. MAY WE BE READY AND NOT GETTING READY. Let us be Christlike, WALKING RIGHTEOUSLY.❤
11:25 - Christ is the rock, and we drink His blood symbolically.
Thanks
My little sister named her daughter piper after him:)
“All the congregation of the people of Israel moved on from the wilderness of Sin by stages, according to the commandment of the Lord, and camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink. Therefore the people quarreled with Moses and said, “Give us water to drink.” And Moses said to them, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the Lord?” But the people thirsted there for water, and the people grumbled against Moses and said, “Why did you bring us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?” So Moses cried to the Lord, “What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me.” And the Lord said to Moses, “Pass on before the people, taking with you some of the elders of Israel, and take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go. Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb, and you shall strike the rock, and water shall come out of it, and the people will drink.” And Moses did so, in the sight of the elders of Israel. And he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah, because of the quarreling of the people of Israel, and because they tested the Lord by saying, “Is the Lord among us or not?””

Trust in JESUS!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
His name was Jmmanuel, not Jesus. His biological father was Gabriel, his biological mother was Mary (or Maria) and his stepfather was Joseph (or Joshua). He was a King of Wisdom, a Jschwjsch (JHWH). He was nailed to wood (not t-shaped but y-shaped). Jmmanuel did a meditation to stay alive on the y-shaped wood. His friends/family/disciples took him to some cave that doesn't exist anymore. Healers from India traveled to see him and it took them three days to heal him. After that, they all went to India. Christianity has reigned for 1600 years because they conspired to destroy the libraries of the city of Alexandria in 467 AD. Nokodemion is the name of the spirit that was inside of Jmmanuel, a human being. Nokodemion will only appear 7 times as a prophet. The 5th time was Jmmanuel. The 6th time was Mohammed. The 7th and final time is 'Billy' Eduard Albert Meier (BEAM).

Forgot me, oh Lord!
Thanks!
Such good teaching!
Wow Praise God I got very much from this message
Pastor John Piper, God is using you. Keep preaching gospel to non-believers(infidel).
Thank you
I believe there is a rapture of the church! I believe Jesus is coming back for his bride!
I needed this.
Aunque estemos tristes, pobres y con hambre, Nada nos puede separar del amor de Cristo, ni siquiera una medida cautelar para que no puedas entrar a la iglesia.
Pray a lot for me I was the victim of a lot of witchcraft and I have a lot of psychological problems depression anxiety etc I'm about to go crazy my name is André Gulherme and pray for my family and I'm suffering a lot with envy I need a lot of prayers and jenjum
I thank whoever does this for me and I'm Brazilian
I understand you, I'm a victim of witchcraft also! Prayers for you!

Beautiful
Piper strikes again.
Amen
John 6:47
At min 9: "Why do you test the Lord? There's a warning. Don't try God's patience! It runs out
for people who don't trust Him and despise Him! It runs out! We know how this story ends in the wilderness."
Amen!
Our God is in the heavens and does whatever He pleases. It pleased God by the foolishness of the preaching of the Gospel to save those who believe 1 Corinthians 1:21. Salvation is conditional on your faith, trust.

Here are a few Scripture verses that support the themes of John Piper's sermon "Our Only Hope in the Wilderness":
1. Isaiah 43:2 - "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you." This verse emphasizes God's promise to be with his people in times of trial, protecting them and keeping them steadfast.
2. Psalm 46:1-3 - "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling." This Psalm also reminds us that God is our ultimate refuge and strength, even in the midst of chaos and uncertainty.
3. Romans 8:28 - "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." This verse can bring comfort in the midst of trials, knowing that God is working all things out for the good of those who love him.
4. Hebrews 4:16 - "Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." This verse reminds us that we can approach God with confidence and find mercy and grace in our time of need, no matter how difficult our circumstances may be.
Amen!❤❤❤
Pretty good.
24:30 - 26:16 ) note to myself
Amen.
😳🔥
No, we sleep.
Ok so I have to appease God....I have to DO something.....HE is GOD, all powerful yet I , little me, have to appease HIM? 😢
The title is funny when it's put like this :)). The sermon is good nonetheless
if God never does anything about my problems, if God just leaves you in the shitter, whats the point of crying out if God does absolutely nothing? I know I've made mistakes, but when does this life ever end? what good does it do to pray and beg and plead for a second chance at life if it never comes? I just feel lately like giving up and ending it all. if you can never get out from under, give me one good reason to keep going? why should I? why live life on the sidelines?
I can relate. I understand what you’re saying. What I’ve come to realize is that my life is God’s and God is good. What I think I need may not be what I actually need.
@@joshcarlin1343 yes, but whats the point of crying out if God does nothing? where is the mercy? why do I have to die before God ever exercises control?
@@joshcarlin1343I have nothing but hatred and contempt for God
Piper, did God tell you you are chosen or did you just felt like that yourself?
Can someone kindly explain 1Cor 14:2
I would appreciate it very much.
Apostle Paul is taking to the Corinthians about spiritual gifts because they were enamoured with it at the time. He is making a comparison between speaking in tongues and prophesying with the latter more important as it directly edifies the body of Christ through encouragement and increased faith. Tongues however, especially without interpretation, is a unique experience with the Holy Spirit speaking through you to the father where other people do not understand and therefore only really edifies yourself.
A lot of people obsess over tongues and use it as a measuring stick for how “spiritual” you are. Apostle Paul is telling us here that, whilst it is important in revealing a unique dimension of God, the edification of the body will always reign supreme.
I hope that helps 🙏🏾

What happened May 1st 2022 please ?
A Conversation with satan!
Ask him if God exists! Answer “No”
Tell satan that you know God exists! Answer “There are many gods”
Tell satan that you know there is only one God! Answer “Yes but he is a very cruel god.”
Tell satan that he loves you! Answer “ no he only loves some people”
Tell satan that the Bible says God loves all people! Answer “ you don’t understand the Bible.”
Ask satan what it means. Answer “ Calvinism” " My man John Piper will deceive, er I mean teach you truth!"
TRUTH IN LOVE
Ever wondered why God created you? What was His purpose for giving you a body and placing you on this planet? He does nothing without purpose and intent. 1 Corinthians 3:16-20 You have been given a body to house the Spirit of the living God on this earth. We are not the owners of this body only the managers and stewards and the body is a vehicle given to us to fulfill His plan, will and purpose of God while on earth.
The eternal purpose of God in Jesus Christ is to give us this new relationship with God (John 3:16; 6:37, 39; 2 Corinthians 5:14-21).
Make you self understand; that this is GODS WORDS, Not Mine.
Acts 17:27 and Jeremiah 23:23 The problem with God is not that He's so far away that we can't see Him. Rather, He is so close that we overlook Him.That means, if you can not find God within your self, you will not find God in any Church, building, Tabernacle,Temple or place of worship. Including Yours
With a television you don't have to be supernatural. God prefer that because it's more social but we have to use it correctly. Right now we have anarchy blindness. Despite the anarchy blindness I figured it out. That proves we can be God like. Only a person getting crucified would suspect something greater. They crucified me with exact same disease that in pink Floyd the wall. Victor said it's all good. It should be possible to make everything all good.;)

Pastor John you are a fluffy swan. You look like Ernest Hemingway here
Nu stiu engleza 😢
HOPE, HOPE, HOPE?????? Internal personal HOPE is generated by realizing sanctifying grace transforming one's character (ROMANS 5:4.) THEN....... this HOPE encourages one to continues to cooperate, connect with HOLY SPIRIT/grace to become like JESUS...(1 JOHN 3:3) and fit for eternal life!!!!! >>>Pure in heart, meek, HOLY!!!! This is the relevant, practical concept of HOPE!!!!!! The 2nd coming of JESUS and/or substitutionary death of JESUS does not bring HOPE to worldly Laodicean church attending , lip service, rituals of communion. bible study, sermon soaked, doctrinally constipated, pew potatoes.
Will u go to heaven
The demon in sunshine movie is Jesus. It's not reality but people's perceptions. The churches have failed Jesus. Fighting over the star makes more sense than the horrible prophecy fighting over who knows what.(TT)
John, I really wish I could just forget what you did to the prolife community. I can’t. Why? Because you were just mean. Imagine working for almost 50 years to save children from the abortionist’s blade and right when we’re on the very cusp of success have a pastor announce that he thinks we’re “presumptuous”. Presumptuous because we care more about human life than the pride you saw in one man. (And all you have to do is apologize. That you cannot shows YOU to be the one with a pride problem. Just ask forgiveness!)
Hank what happened man?
Say it again John Piper:
"God . . . brings about all things in accordance with his will. In other words, it isn’t just that God manages to turn the evil aspects of our world to good for those who love him; it is rather that he himself brings about these evil aspects for his glory (see Ex. @-16; John 9:3) and his people’s good (see Heb. 12:3-11; James 1:2-4). This includes-as incredible and as unacceptable as it may currently seem-God’s having even brought about the Nazis’ brutality at Birkenau and Auschwitz as well as the terrible killings of Dennis Rader and even the sexual abuse of a young child . . .

What twisted mind can claim to represent the love of Jesus and say such blasphemous things!
You are a curse to everything that is good and lovely about the Lord. No man can know Jesus and say what you preach.
