I always enjoy your comments because you watch/listen to these videos with different eyes/ears to me. I've wanted to ask you - are you a Christian?

(John 13:31) The Lord is glorified by His people by their abounding in good works, (1 Corinthians 15:58), being thankful always (1 Thessalonians 5:18), the sacrifice of the lips (Hebrews 13:15), etc. The epistle of Romans puts it plainly, Romans 12:1-2, 6:12-14.

Yes, the secret is Christ. Unless you can refute Piper's teaching with Scripture then your opinion is worse than useless - it is evil. Do you believe in Jesus Christ as taught by the Bible?
Hear God's Word No it wasn’t! It was an interpretation of scripture verses by a man claiming to have special knowledge. Totally useless. Good teachers don’t tell you what to believe.. they tell you how to believe it. Nothing piper says allows us to test his interpretation.
Alex Raducan 1 Corinthians deals with the judgement of the church. If you read it all, you’ll find the difference between mere talk and power. Those people had forgotten their roots as those under judgement. Now that they’re rich, they use the gospel as a good luck charm instead of a sobering reminder of their past. By “outside of scripture “ I was referring to pipers lack of humility as he presents himself as an authority on judgement. His motives are highly questionable. For that reason, I always maintain that quoting scripture doesn’t make anyone right. The design outside of instruction is always the reminder that all things should carry with them the sobering reminder of our weakness. I challenge pipers teachings, perhaps at my own peril, for the cause of humility and gratitude.
Self-Sufficiency does Not exalt Jesus. Jesus Gives me Everything I Need and Protects me from evil. I would be nothing without Jesus. I would not live a minute without Him.
Austin Brown Mormon was immersion. Catholic and Luthern sprinkling. But I don't consider any of them to do anything. Baptism is when you are immersed with the Holy Spirit after being taught correctly taught by Jesus.
kathleen Wharton Okay! Mark 16:16 says, “Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved.” Acts 2:38 says, “All of you must turn away from your sins and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then your sins will be forgiven.” Acts 22:16 says, “Be baptized. Have your sins washed away.” 1 Peter 3:21 says, “It is a picture of the baptism that now saves you too. This baptism has nothing to do with removing dirt from your body. Instead, it promises God that you will keep a clear sense of right and wrong. This baptism saves you by the same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead.” Those verses show us that we have to be baptized to be saved. Do you agree?
Jesus is Not Only Words in a book..and those are not even Jesus Words! If you love Jesus..as much as you say you do..Why don’t you Teach His Words? Like He asked you too. Paul is not God! Why do you think his words more valuable to teach than Jesus?
Huey Leadbetter Hello..Huey. She is terminal and dying. This is a very Difficult Forgiveness. I think it has to do with my sons sins. He is very Proud and doesn’t think Jesus is important. When he said that to me..my heart sunk. But I must Forgive him and the second woman he brought into their lives. It is aTragedy. There are 10 children affected by this too. The second woman has powerful influence. They cut me totally out of their lives..so all I can do..is pray..which of course..I Do! But this would definitely take a Miracle! Thank you..for caring! You are a good man.
Huey Leadbetter My former husband and my sons are devout churchmen and they followed Church rules..were titled men themselves. But they substituted with Church rules and did not Obey Gods commandments. It is why I am so angry at Church..Churchmen and Paul for setting the whole system back up. That is why Jesus was upset with Pharisees..they taught church rules and ignored Gods commandments. Jesus last act on the Cross was to Forgive the Pharisees. And I must Forgive them too..Present Day Pharisees. I have struggled to Do this..as you can see.
I am nothing without Christ Jesus: I am everything in Him.
He girds us with Strength.
His Strength is sufficient.
alittlestrength enough
Strength for..or over what?
Also when they ask David for foreskins that part is lit
I wanna see piper reviewn the part where lot F-_UCKS his daughters
also that part when they ask david for foreskins
Right but that is NOT self-sufficiency?
Watching and learning how Piper breaks down verses has helped me to study the word better. Thanks again Pastor John!

Look up Christopher Hitchens videos. If you can say that after listening to him then you are in the minority.

@@austinbrown2283 Yes, I have baptized.
How does this concept of self-sufficiency square with 1 Corinthians 15:9-10 and Galatians 2:20.
Piper searches the scriptures because he believes that in them he has eternal life.
I guess you don't believe in Christ.
Hear God's Word
Christ taught exactly what I just said.

What secret where you expecting to hear?
Hear God's Word
The secret of contentment regardless of the whims of men or the eventualities of life.
Maybe you need a different video for that
Hear God's Word
What contentment were you thinking of? Is there another?
Yes, the secret is Christ. Unless you can refute Piper's teaching with Scripture then your opinion is worse than useless - it is evil. Do you believe in Jesus Christ as taught by the Bible?
At least he’s consistent. Say your prayers...read your Bible....go to church. Unfortunately, he will never know truth.
Mr. C
Why so say?
The secret is not found in the Bible. That’s why this vid offers no answers...piper has no insight outside of scripture.
Well this is insight on scripture so you've missed the point.
Read 1 Corinthians 4:6 carefully @Mr. C
Hear God's Word
No it wasn’t! It was an interpretation of scripture verses by a man claiming to have special knowledge. Totally useless.
