G.A.- please do me a real favor. I'm being completely serious too. Ask yourself, "why do I watch these kind of videos?" and chew on that. There is something inside of you that knows you're accountable. God has put eternity on your heart. please think. your servant in Christ. :)

Amen, I agree many Youth are on Fire for Christ and he is right on with this message and warning .

i'm worried not enough is being done to teach the next generation about Predestination.

...whoops hit post by accident! As i was saying you are displaying classic hypocritical atheistic faith in your bold assertion that there is no afterlife. You cannot prove it therefore you cannot assert it. Likewise intellectually honest Christians cannot prove it but can at least admit to believe it. Also Christians have more grounds for their faith claim than the atheist in the historical veracity of the life and ressurrection of Jesus.

Strumstick Joe....and you KNOW all this for certain? How can you possibly say with 100% empirical proof that their is no afterlife. You are displaying classic hypocritical

There's nobody on this comments page pointing out what utter drivel JP speaks.

So I thought I'd mention it.

Why on earth do you people need this eternal watching-over? What is wrong with living your life well, standing up for yourself and taking the responsibility for all you do - instead of having to have the crutch of an imaginary outside agency with magical powers?

There is no afterlife, no soul, no heaven/hell. No gods, no miracles. The world is marvellous, not magical

Peace and love to you.

@xTHExELEVENTHxHOURx same here bro. Ihave lived a similar pattern. Until i started listening to those gifted preachers.

@DGJohnPiper If you (or anyone else) know, which sermon is this from? Thanks.

[ironshadowspider]

@MeekServant anybody know where i can find the entire message that this video comes from?

Once again, John Piper hits it right on target.

This is great. My biggest problem has been pornography. However, I'm doing better than ever before. But there's no room for pride or arrogance.I have been going back to it for years.

Ever since I started listening to sermons by Paul Washer, Tim Conway and John Piper, God has done so much work in me. I love to hear this truth, I'm sick and tired of prosperity/other nonsense preachers.

Brothers, cry out for the power of God to be strong in your life! The Word and Prayer are absolute necessity!
