  • I feel like all my props were knocked out... all but a very very few

  • Jesus is all my hope! :)

    I trust that He keeps me! :D

  • Thank you, God & John, for letting me have a little bit of chocolate!

  • WOW... GOD just knocked a few Props off of me! lol Probably More than that but I'm truly Thankful for it! :D GOD Bless You for posting this Message! : )

  • this happened to me with health. It was not comfortable BUT the best thing happened: I am closer to God, I trust Him more, I believe Him more. Glory to God

  • I totally agree what Dr piper said that God builds faith by knocking the props from our lives. that way we surrender to God and wholly defend on Him.

    Our good Lord building solid, unshakable faith in us through those trials or experiences.

  • What did you just teaching was Not True! God Never, Ever did/do any Evil against anyone's happiness whatsoever! It's Evildoers love to do Evil against their very own eternities and souls!

  • Props led me to faith?This is absurd .Faith does not come from calamity never has never will.God gives faith one way...Faith comes from hearing and hearing the Word of God I say this eating my chocalates

  • Props don't lead you to faith, I dont think you heard the inital statement he made. He said "God builds faith by knocking the props from under our lives" What he is basically saying is God will teach you to rely on him by taking away all the other things that lead you to comfort like your health, friend, family, etc. etc. When you loose everything in your life that you hold dear, you learn to rely on Him more as oppose to the people and things in your life that bring you comfort.

  • @polopowers1 calamity tests faith.

  • @Zapanath Calamity can test faith but faith does not come from calamity

  • Amen

  • if there is a god, we can't even began to understand him/her/whatever it is.

  • U say if their is a god we can't even begin to understand him but in saying that u are saying u understand how he would be urself...u are saying God is not able to be understood...understanding that He isnt able to be understood is understanding something about Him...u couldnt know God couldn't be understood unless you understood "something" about God urself...What is it that u understand about God that makes Him not be able to be understood u claim to possess the knowledge u say no one can have

  • that's the understanding of gnostics, but actually, we have an idea of God, it is intuitive. Creation tells us there is a GOD who is intelligent who designed everything. Conscience (the idea of right and wrong) is likewise universal --- hence, we have a GOD who is moral, a moral creator responsible for moral beings. God is real and He reveals Himself in general and special ways. Generally, through conscience and creation. Specially, through His Son Jesus Christ.

  • yes we can, pick up a bible and start reading it. then you will begin to understand what he is.

  • oh i already did that and i think you cam make a very good movie, a horror bloody even sadistic one. did you read it? holly sheet i never could finish it because i was starting to have nightmares.

  • and by what righteous standard do you judge something as being sadistic? and what gives you the authority to make that judgement? hmm?

  • well if u can say about a mind that is a "righteous standard" then from my own mind i am speaking. why should i must be given authority ?that is a little bit slavery but what do i know?! right? i am just telling you what is in the bible, that's all.

  • this is sooooo true. i have not heard this preached much, but i ALWAYS see it in my life. the discipline of the LORD is the shining truth in my life experience.
