Thanks Tonya! I can't take credit for these teachings sadly, all credit to John Piper and Desiring God, and all glory to God! (You can find lots more content on the official Desiring God channel at ruclips.net/channel/UCnrFlpro0xfYjz6s5Xa8WWw . Among other things, Piper is currently taking a deep look into Ephesians in this same form as this.)
If you haven’t seen it, be sure to check out the official Desiring God channel at ruclips.net/user/desiringGod . They publish a lot of content there, including (many) more “Look at the Book” series. (The Romans 8 ones didn’t all make it into RUclips, most were on Vimeo, which is why I uploaded these ones.)
All things means that which you don't have control over , like a drunk driver slamming into you and you become paralyzed . God could have stopped it but he doesn't because it's the best way to get you into his kingdom . It does not mean things you do or practice . Again , it's that which you have no control over , like the above example .
It just goes round about too far. Our greatest need or omission in trying to explain this Romans 8:28 is just a reminder of "for those who love God". It's not for "those who believe God" but for "those who LOVE God." Unless you love God, though you maybe a so-called believer," you have no proper comfort from the statement of the verse.

I just realized the scripture that he's using does not say to those who love God which is very important
Never mind I just saw it
But I agree with your statement 100%
