    I too remember crying out to God to open my mouth so I could praise him...even to tears. But He eventually did. And I am forever grateful that I had to cry out to him. For now I am sure that it is him who opened my mouth.

    I'm thankful that I found this episode. I believe my heart has been hardened over these many years, and as I look to grow in my relationship with Christ and God, I find it hard to express my emotions or have genuine love and affection in Him. Not sure what is the cause, but I pray that He heals me of it

      16 Send one of you, and let him bring your brother, while you remain confined, that your words may be tested, whether there is truth in you. Or else, by the life of Pharaoh, surely you are spies."

      20 and bring your youngest brother to me. So your words will be vertified, and you shall not die."
      And they did so.
      21 Then they said to one another,
      " In truth we are guilty concerning our brother, in this distress of his soul, when he begged us and
      we

      Now pause in Christ 😊❤in Genesis 42:24a
      "24( a) Then he( Joseph😊❤) and
      turned away
      from
      them❤'s

      John 11: 38-44( Jesus😊1st❤ resurrected Lazarus😊❤) so whoever trust in Jesus😊1st❤ even if they were fallen asleep, John 😊❤ the author of gospel😊❤ of John 😊❤ said, in John 11: 25😊❤ before Jesus weeps in John 11:35( Jesus wept)
      or John 11: 28-36( Jesus😊1st❤ weeps ) for Lazarus😊❤.
      So before that The Bible😊❤ said by John😊❤ in John 11:25( remember two faithful pastors at the same time here now. In Jesus'name, i pray( to share John 11:25😊❤) Amen.

    The world is burning down around us, the church is knee-deep in feminism, effeminacy, and idolatry, the government is warring against the Lord, and these are the questions Piper chooses to answer. 😂 It kills me.

      Everything you point out is true. Are asking for answers to these? There are no answers. You’re not going to get them Matthew. We live in the kingdom of darkness. All you can do is press in closer to the Lord in prayer, worship let your conduct reflect Jesus. Let your light shine brightly. Let the peace of God rule in your heart. Stay the course. Run the race. Finish strong. Fight to keep your faith until the end. Stay in God’s word every day. God bless.

      @@michaelbirke6050 There are definitely answers. Scripture is full of them.
      “Stay the course, run the race, finish strong.” Those are abstract exhortations, albeit good ones. The questions good ministers are answering is how to bring those exhortations out of the abstract and into the practical. That is what Piper is busy not doing.
      If you’re looking for someone who does an excellent job of this, check out Douglas Wilson. Piper’s pietism won’t do in this new world.
