  • John Piper is correct. You must go through Jesus to get to God.

  • then why would Jesus give us the Fathers prayer to pray 3 times a day .. there is not mention of "in Jesus name" before you say amen in that prayer so this theory of yours piper is flawed

  • @WEZDEZ303 so will shall we suffer in this world for living in him, keep your eyes and heart fixated on Christ and the Kingdom, and you will have joy, before you sin, when you feel that old sinful feeling coming up immediately pray to the one who bought you, and you will be comforted and you will have victory for the Father knows best, trust and have faith in the Lord, i will pray for you

  • @WEZDEZ303 You must understand when you gave yourself to the Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit entered you and resurrected you as a new creation, but its not perfect and holy as it will be in the kingdom. Your still in your sinful flesh, you must understand the old you died and you are a new creation in Christ, walk in him, walk in the Spirit, avoid all the old things you used to watch or do, and it will be easier to have victory over your sin, but being in Christ will never be easy.

  • ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD & MAN

  • The thing is God doesn't exist apart from Jesus!

  • No, Mr Piper, they will not be incinerated, they will be poked in their conscience to return to Jesus! This is an AWFUL video, which is a shame, because some other videos of yours are excellent.

  • Wezde, take a grain of salt when listening to Piper, or many of the other celebrity pastors. God is not an angry God, He is firm, and sometimes strict, but it's never mixed with anger. The bible says God's anger lasts for but a moment, but His grace for a lifetime. Trust God as if He were your real life dad, if you had a good dad. He longs for you to do that, and then you will have everything you need. God is not a harsh master! He will save us all eventually!

  • Have any of you felt like me!? Weak, weary, unable, lazy, bored, lil interest?! If u have felt like those emotions above then what did u do!? The Christian life is tOOOOOOOO hard for me! my heart rather wants to sin than follow Jesus! What do I do now!?? I suck at normal life anyway and I suck with living the Christian life! I think I failed most of my exams, and hav no hope for the future, really no goal no aspiration..I'm not looking forward to anything in life!

  • Carrying on ---- trying to live for god is satisfying but it feels so DIFFICULT TO FOLLOW JESUS! and the sinning way is easy, but its destructive, depressing, just not nice! AND IT ENDS WITH HELL! I feel so in need of someone to help me! I feel disqualified from Gods grace...don't think I'm innocent! I have a gross wicked heart! I wish someone can b there next to me just helping me with carrying out this Christian life! I don't know! How on earth do pastors cope with their weaknesses, sin etc?!
