I think it's odd that atheists like to post here. They are welcome to if they do not bash any belief or appear argumentative.

He had a good point,but I can NOT say that was a good sermon.Not once did he use a Bible verese!In 7:56 I could of used a Bible verse and I am horribale at witnessing!He did mention that we need to live for God, but he did not use the verses that support that!How can we say 'I'm living for God! I'm prech about God!' When we don't

use the verses that God gave us to use?!The Bible isn't there for 'use if you want'.It's there cus God Want's use to use it and read it.

~God Bless!~

There is a difference between a sermon and a message or talk. This clip would was taken from something considered a talk or message. It wasnt taken from a sermon. If you know anything about John Piper, its that his sermons are Bible saturated. One of the reasons i posted this particular clip is that i wanted to let people know the way John Piper articulates ideas outside of a sermon/preaching setting.

FYI

This is one of my favorite sermons from JP I was so glad he gave this message in from of so many people. His messages have impacted my life. since then I have been hearing hundred of messages given in by him. Thanks for this minutes and if you have the rest of the sermon. please make it available too. I would help so many

I was there when he preached this sermon, and it set my life on a trajectory aimed at not wasting it. Thank you, pastor John.

the only thing that matters is that he preaches the truth

@awaketoreality "I think it's odd that atheists like to post here. They are welcome to if they do not bash any belief or appear argumentative."

Do you believe passionately in god? Are you not commanded to spread the word? With respect SIr, why then should not Atheists spread the truth, there does not need to be a god to explain how we got here, and that religion is not a good thing for the long term prosperity of this planet?

I hope you read this and get special from it. We make gods name shine when devil attacks us with sin and temptation. Before I finish a verse that god opened to me I must say I don't know if this is in the bible or not but I KNOW that it is right. Gods name shines when devil attacks us with sin and temptation and we say NO I will not sin. That is one way we make god/Jesus/holy gost shine in glory.

Amen. THAT is a sermon. You don't need to quote bible verses to make a biblical point. Nowhere in scripture does it say that what constitutes a 'sermon' is quoting the bible. The fact is, the whole world is full of sermons. Either they are preaching Christ or they are preaching away from him. Piper is preaching Christ, many need to hear this.

@awaketoreality Yeah, I know. It is kinda odd.

God is using this man so well....... no wonder the Holy Spirit led me to this video...

[ockennedys]

Piper is not post-mil.

[1ChristPreacher]

American Christians need to hear this most. Pray for persecution to fan the flames in this country.
