  • YOU CANT SERVE BOTH GOD AND MAMMON! Jesus was talking about stewardship and attitude toward money. When you esteem money over God, and you don't handle money toward furthuring the kingdom, that's when it becomes what the bible calls "mammon"!

  • Piper never says it's wrong to be rich. God blesses people in different ways. Just don't let money become your god. God doesn't only call pastors & missionaries to be fully committed. Members of the church have different roles, but the commitment is the same. Be faithful in all things. If you are rich, use it in a way that maximally glorifies God. Jesus fed thousands with a few loaves. Imagine how much God can do with $1 & how faithful He will be with $1000. He's the most trustworthy investment.

  • From Fransisco d'Anconia's speech about the nobility of money. Read it, analyse it based on reality not on what your preacher said or what you blindly believe. If you are reallys seeking truth you will recognize it in the speech.

  • "It's the person who would sell his soul for a nickel, who is the loudest in proclaiming his hatred of money – and he has good reason to hate it. The lovers of money are willing to work for it. They know they are able to deserve it."

  • Can you want to be rich and yet still serve God?

  • John pipper is an ex pedo..just sayin..Do your research..

  • Eighter money comes from work or it comes from faith.

    Dr. Piper is advocating money from work but rejects it from faith.

    Thereofore Dr. Piper does not recognize that HIS MONEY comes from God but himself. He is ingrateful for his life. He is prayerless.

  • @flacuchojuan The response you just gave is exactly what john piper means by how "sophisticated it gets." You say "I want God to prosper ME to bless others. You just don't get it

  • I am a missioary myself. I'm a missionary kid my childhood was African. Nigeria But I also believe that God can prosper someone to bless poor countries. Obviously I don't agree that a preacher may go to a third world country to take their money away. And I also know people generous enough to bless. I want God to prosper me to bless others! THAT'S THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE TRUE GOSPEL. AND JESUS DOES HEAL PEOPLE TODAY. I?VE SEEN MIRACLES HAPPENING WITH MY VERY EYES!
