You can only do good for some body else if you let the love of 'God pass through you. How is it possible if if you are 24/7 around the clock raging war against your self...What you are describing has a name,it is called Masoquismo.If you wanna really hurt your self,way don't you just hang your self to a cross or some and torture your self to death.There is some good
He is referring to Romans 8:13. "If you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live." For a further explanation by Piper of the text you can check out his three-part sermon series "How to Kill Sin." It's available for free at his excellent web-site DesiringGod.
@alienkrigg Check the Desiring God website - desiringgod (dot) org - and search around there, maybe do a search on the text he's preaching from. That would be your best bet.
@axlcrush You are so right. He says many hard things, but it's all from the Word and that's why it's hard to hear.
"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." --Hebrews 4:12

Is it any wonder why the three blood religions are so blood thirsty. That region has been in a perpetual state of war. I'm surprised the desssert itself isn't red. But if this guy thinks war is so trvial he obviously has never been in a war or read a book about war.
@slicingwater - you didn't listen to te video till end... It says: "violence againts whom? not against other people. but against every impulse in our soul that makes us be violent to other people". against ourselfs, against the lust and rasism in our soul, and so one"... Violence against my own vilolence. It's just figurate speach
@earnyourlife yeah your right, but maybe that isn't why he said that! i look at so many christians and they seem to enjoy this war and saying God told us to! looking at those christians he has every right to say that, because it would be true (to a certain degree)(we know its not), this war is not good, and john piper is my new favorite speaker,
@slicingwater This has to be the funniest post I've seen on youtube... this is such a clear example of how people dont care enough to actually listen to whats being said.. .of how people just hear what they want to in order to justify their own worldview... classic.. thanks slicingwater for proving the ignorance of those who just want to attack other peoples worldviews without the slightest care for listening to what they actually have to say.
Wow!!!!!!!! this is sooooo powerful, i felt something in me rise listening to this! Praise God!

John piper says what real christians need to hear, not what tickles our ears. I'm so grateful to God for him
